In the tropics, we’re paying very close attention to a wave that’s now in the southeastern Caribbean. This wave has a high chance of becoming a depression by the weekend. It’s currently bringing heavy rain and gusty winds to the Windward Islands, portions of the Venezuelan coast, and Aruba, Bonaire, and Curacao. Computer models are not in agreement on this system’s track beyond the next three or four days. But it could pose a threat to portions of Florida next week, so we’ll watch it carefully and be ready to take action if necessary.
Hurricane Fiona is on the move, and there’s now a hurricane warning for Bermuda. At 5 am, Fiona was located near 27.4 North, 70.6 West, about 485 miles southwest of Bermuda and 1250 miles south-southwest of Halifax, Nova Scotia. Maximum sustained winds were 130 miles per hour, and Fiona was moving north-northeast at 13 miles per hour. Fiona is expected to make its closest approach to Bermuda tonight, accelerate, and make landfall in the Atlantic provinces of Canada on Saturday.
Tropical Storm Gaston continues moving through the central Atlantic. At midday on Wednesday, Gaston was about 375 miles west-northwest of the central Azores, and there’s a tropical storm warning for the western and central Azores. Maximum sustained winds were 65 miles per hour, and Gaston was moving east-northeast at 17 miles per hour.
Elsewhere, the wave in the tropical central Atlantic has a low chance of becoming a depression in the next five days. And another wave is just entering the far eastern Atlantic. This wave has a medium chance of developing as it moves northward, close to the African coast.
