Tropical Storm Fiona is expected to become a hurricane later today as it closes in on Puerto Rico. At 5 am, Fiona was located near 17.1 North, 65.8 West, about 80 miles southeast of Ponce, Puerto Rico. Maximum sustained winds were 65 miles per hour, and Fiona was moving west-northwest at 8 miles per hour. A hurricane warning is in effect for Puerto Rico and portions of the coast of the Dominican Republic, and there are tropical storm watches for the Turks and Caicos and the southeastern Bahamas. Puerto Rico can expect hurricane conditions, including heavy rains that could lead to life-threatening mudslides. While Fiona is expected to stay well east of South Florida, there could be impacts in the central and northern Bahamas. We’ll continue to keep a close eye on it.
Elsewhere, the wave in the central Atlantic has a low chance of developing as it makes its way into the open ocean during the next five days.
