Tropical Storm Elsa battered the southern coasts of Haiti and the Dominican Republic, downing trees and blowing off roofs as it sped through the Caribbean, killing at least three people.
A Tropical Storm Warning remains in effect for Jamaica.
The storm was centered about 140 miles east of Kingston, Jamaica, and was speeding west-northwest at 23 mph.
Weather conditions over Jamaica will begin to deteriorate within the next 3-6 hours with rainfall spreading over northern and eastern parishes, and then to the rest of the island during the night and early tomorrow.
3-6 inches of rainfall could cause flash flooding in low-lying areas.
Strong winds, gusting to near tropical-storm-force, are also expected tonight and early tomorrow morning.
Storm surges of 1-3 feet could also be experienced over coastal areas of
northeastern parishes.
The storm was forecast to hit Cuba next on a path that would take it to Florida, with some models showing it would spin into the Gulf or up the Atlantic Coast
