Where will Elsa go, and how strong will she be when she gets there?

Elsa is the farthest east a hurricane has formed this early in the year in the tropical Atlantic since 1933, says hurricane researcher Phil Klotzbach.

Heavy rains and winds lashed Barbados as the Category 1 storm headed for islands including St. Vincent and the Grenadines, which are still struggling to recover from recent volcanic eruptions. Elsa was located about 95 miles (155 kilometers) east of St. Vincent and was moving west-northwest at 28 mph (44 kph). It had maximum sustained winds of 75 mph (120 kph), according to the National Hurricane Center in Miami. A hurricane warning was in effect for Barbados, St. Lucia and St. Vincent and the Grenadines. “They will move anything within its path,” said St. Vincent Prime Minister Ralph Gonsalves.

Right off the bat, there is still a lot to be ironed out with Tropical Storm Elsa. The center of Elsa is still poorly defined and until a defined center develops, high uncertainty in the track and therefore the intensity will remain.

(CNN) - We can't let it go, let it go. Disney released a new trailer for the "Frozen" sequel Monday and it looks suitably frosty -- and packed with adventure. Along the way they must battle a mysterious storm, massive ocean waves, an array of monsters and other forces that threaten our favorite characters. Fans have eagerly been awaiting the followup to the smash 2013 animated movie, which raked in more than $1.27 billion at the worldwide box office. The first trailer for the new movie was released in June, but this new one reveals more of the story.

There's 60 days until "Frozen 2" comes out and the new trailer has us anxiously counting down. The trailer starts with a look back to when Anna and Elsa were young kids and their parents were still alive. The girls are learning of a tale about a dark forest where something went wrong long ago. Elsa, Anna and the gang are off on a quest to help protect Arendelle. Disney Animation tweeted the trailer saying, "Let go of the past.

Bianca Andreescu, currently a teen phenom herself, is Townsend's next challenger after the Canadian beat last year's Australian Open champion, Caroline Wozniacki, 6-4, 6-4. Ahn back to US Open after a decadeAhn, meanwhile, played the US Open as a 16-year-old qualifier in 2008, acquitting herself well in a first-round loss to then seventh-ranked Dinara Safina. But instead of turning pro, as she wanted to, the parents of Ahn -- who was born within walking distance of the US Open -- wanted her to go to college and get an education.

Photo by Elsa/Getty Images(CNN) - Taylor Townsend has created a seismic impact in the US Open women's singles draw. 4 seed Simona Halep 2-6, 6-3, 7-6(4) at Arthur Ashe Stadium, the largest stadium in the world for tennis. "This means a lot," Townsend said through tears on court to ESPN. I didn't really know why it was bothering me. On court after Thursday's win, Townsend gestured toward her player box, giving credit to her coach, Donald Young Sr."Every person says they've been through a lot," Townsend said.

Photo by Elsa/Getty Images(CNN) - Simona Halep might have just won Wimbledon, but the Romanian's struggles continue at the US Open after she was upset by a net-rushing American qualifier, Taylor Townsend. Halep will be ruing the match point she missed, too, a makeable forehand return as her foe served and volleyed. Townsend incredibly approached the net 105 times against one of the game's top counterpunchers, and even though her percentage of points won -- 60 -- wasn't overly high, the 23-year-old ultimately won the most important ones. Townsend was in tears after collecting her first top-10 win, having been so close at Wimbledon when she held a match point on Kiki Bertens. She trailed Nina Stojanovic in the final round of qualifying by a set and 5-1 in a second-set tiebreak.

The cold may not bother her, but it's definitely bothering everyone else
