Hurricane #Elsa this morning shortly before daybreak. The track of this increasingly dangerous looking cyclone has moved east and north with a projected path over Cuba now.
Here is the latest official warnings and advice. Elsa is moving very fast and is currently forecast to exit the U.S. after making landfall in 5 days time. However these events are inherently unpredictable. See .... nhc.noaa.gov 
This animation shows water vapour over the Caribbean over the next five days. The center of Elsa can be seen in purple.
This animation shows the forecast rain pattern from the same model run. the rains are heavy over a narrow band presumably due to the speed with which #Elsa is moving.
Here is a recent satellite animation from @zoom_earth, at this point it hasn't yet developed an eye indicating a lack of organisation, and consequently not as powerful winds. That said it is already a massive storm.
