At least 20 lives were lost in the Dominican Republic because of Tropical Storm Noel, while parts of Cuba have been put on a Tropical Storm warning.

The Cuban government has extended the Tropical Storm Warning westward to include the Province of Ciego de Avila. A warning is also in effect for the provinces of Camaguey, Holguin and Guantanamo.

The government of the Bahamas has upgraded their Tropical Storm Watch to a Tropical Storm Warning for the central and southeastern Bahamas including the Turks and Caicos. A Tropical Storm Watch is in effect for northwestern portions of the Bahamas.

A Tropical Storm Warning also remains in effect for the entire coast of Haiti, while the island of Hispaniola is still being pounded by the storm.

Jamaica has dropped its Tropical Storm Watch. Also, the government of Cuba has discontinued Hurricane Watch/Tropical Storm Warning for portions of southeastern Cuba including Granma and Santiago. A Tropical Storm Warning remains in effect for the provinces of Holguin and Guantanamo.

As of 11p.m. the center of Tropical Storm Noel was near 305 miles south-southeast of Nassau, Bahamas, with maximum sustained winds of 50 miles per hour.

Noel is moving toward the northwest direction at about 13 mph and this motion is expected to continue Monday with a turn to the northwest expected within 24 hours.

Noel is expected to produce total rainfall accumulations of 8 to 12 inches over Hispaniola. Total rainfall accumulations of 3 to 5 inches are expected over Puerto Rico during the next 24 hours. These rains could cause life -threatening flash floods and mudslides.
