Radar imagery from the UK's national weather service shows the outer rain bands of Hurricane Maria beginning to cross the US and British Virgin Islands.
A curfew was imposed in the British Virgin Islands on Monday night, and residents have been asked to stay indoors until the storm has passed.
US forecasters say a storm surge - rising seawater coming in from the coast - is also expected to bring "life-threatening" swells of up to 9ft (2.7m) above ground in the Virgin Islands as well as Puerto Rico.
