SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico – Tropical Storm Dorian pushed quickly westward across the Atlantic on Saturday, but forecasters said it was likely to weaken before nearing Caribbean islands.

Remnants of a weakening Dorian were forecast to pass north of the Dominican Republic, Haiti and Cuba by early Thursday.
The storm had maximum sustained winds of 40 mph (65 kph) near midday Saturday and it was centered about 720 miles (1,160 kilometers) east of the northern Leeward Islands, moving west at 23 mph (37 kph).
