The storm is expected to grow stronger before lashing several eastern Caribbean islands on Thursday at near hurricane strength.
SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico — Tropical Storm Bret grew stronger on Wednesday as it took aim at islands in the eastern Caribbean that braced for torrential rainfall, landslides and flooding.
The storm was located some 505 miles east of Barbados and is expected to grow stronger before lashing several eastern Caribbean islands on Thursday at near hurricane strength. A tropical storm watch was in effect for Barbados, St. Lucia, Martinique and Dominica, as officials in the region urged people to prepare for Bret.
The hurricane center said it was too soon to know where Bret’s center would pass through, but it warned that up to 10 inches of rain were forecast from the French Caribbean island of Guadeloupe south to Grenada and Barbados.
