Officials in the northern Caribbean are warning of heavy rains and dangerous swells as Tropical Storm Erin approaches the region.

The National Hurricane Center continues to track the path of Tropical Storm Erin as it heads west, but the storm's potential impact on the Caribbean remains uncertain. The high in Phoenix reached 109 today, far away from the record that was set in 2012.

A southward shift in Erin’s track has led to an increase in risk for the northern Caribbean Islands, though a direct hit in the United States is unlikely.
