but here is the latest :

Results for Punta Cana, Dominican Republic (18.57N, 68.37W):
The approximate Closest Point of Approach (CPA) is located near 18.5N, 68.4W or about 8.5 miles (13.7 km) from your location. The estimated time of when the center of the storm will be at that location is in about 6 hours and 2 minutes from now (Saturday, August 2 at 8:36PM AST).

The PR radar shows the outer bands already there!
