of rainfall across portions of the British Virgin Islands, the
Leeward Islands, and the northern Windward Islands into Monday
morning, bringing storm total maximum amounts to 12 inches in the
Leeward Islands.  These rains may produce isolated flash and urban
flooding, along with isolated mudslides in areas of higher terrain.

the Lesser Antilles during the next few days.  These swells are
likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions.
