Tropical Storm Fiona is expected to strengthen, and there’s now a hurricane watch as well as a tropical storm warning for Puerto Rico. At 5 am, Fiona was located about 135 miles southeast of St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands. Maximum sustained winds were 60 miles per hour, and Fiona was moving west at 13 miles per hour. Fiona is expected to bring flooding rains to Puerto Rico on Sunday, and mudslides are possible. Forecasts now call for Fiona to reach hurricane strength before landfall in the Dominican Republic early on Monday. Then it’s expected to track near or over the Turks and Caicos and the southeastern Bahamas. There is still uncertainty as to how close Fiona will come to the central and northern Bahamas in the latter part of next week, so we’ll continue to watch very closely in the days ahead.
Elsewhere in the tropics, the wave in the central Atlantic has a low chance of becoming a depression in the next five days. And a low that’s a few hundred miles west-northwest of Bermuda has a low chance of developing.
