Despite the weakened status of the storm, games of the eighth day of the FIBA Americas tournament have been moved to be played earlier in the day than scheduled.

A tropical storm warning was issued for Puerto Rico, where the tournament is being hosted in San Juan, as well as the U.S. Virgin Islands, and the British Virgin Islands.

Canada is set to play Panama in the first game, which has already begun, more than two hours ahead of schedule.

According to CNN: Erika’s winds were near 40 mph (65 kph) with higher gusts, forecasters said. If her winds drop below 39 mph, Erika will be categorized as a much-less dangerous tropical depression.
