Hurricane Hunter aircraft are investigating the disturbance that's expected to be upgraded to a tropical depression later today or tonight.

The storm is on a path toward the Leeward Islands, the U.S. and British Virgin Islands, and Puerto Rico, before forecast models have it turning to the north. It is not expected to threaten Louisiana or the Gulf Coast.
