Hurricane hunters have detected storm-force winds in the outer bands, with these winds expected to reach the island before midnight tonight.
Heavy rainfall of 1 to 3 inches is predicted, posing a risk of flash flooding and severe thunderstorms. Marine conditions will also deteriorate significantly.
