This is the best summary I could come up with:
Neither storm currently threatens U.S. coastlines, but the National Hurricane Center warned the most serious impact from Tammy would be felt in Antigua, Barbuda and the Leeward Islands, and that residents there should rush to finish preparations to protect property and lives.
On the island of Guadeloupe, officials urged residents to be aware of shelter locations, while nearby Dominica had kept airports open on Friday but closed schools.
With tropical storm force winds currently extending up to 125 miles, forecasters predict Tammy will pass over or near the Leeward and Windward Islands by early Sunday.
Life-threatening surf and storm surges of up to 3 feet could combine with 8 inches of rainfall on some islands, producing some isolated flash flooding, particularly in town centers, and even mudslides on higher terrain.
Scientists warned earlier this month that an unusually warm Atlantic Ocean — linked to the El Niño weather pattern — could precipitate the formation of storms in less common locations.
A maximum rainfall of 15 inches could hit Baja California Sur and extend further south into Sinaloa on Monday — also possibly leading to mudslides and flash flooding.
