Hurricane Fiona continues to intensify as it moves away from the Turks and Caicos. At 5 am, Fiona was located near 23.4 North, 71.8 West, about 755 miles southwest of Bermuda. Maximum sustained winds were 130 miles per hour, and Fiona was moving north at 8 miles per hour. There’s a tropical storm watch for Bermuda, which is likely to see the closest approach of Fiona Thursday night into early Friday. Fiona also poses a threat to Newfoundland and the Canadian Maritime provinces this weekend.
The low in the central Atlantic is now Tropical Storm Gaston. At 5 am, Gaston was about 920 miles west of the Azores and had maximum sustained winds of 50 miles per hour. Gaston was moving north-northeast at 18 miles per hour and is forecast to remain in the open Atlantic.
The wave a few hundred miles east of the Windward Islands is one we’ll need to watch. It has a high chance of becoming a depression in the next few days, when it enters the Caribbean. Computer models indicate it could be a threat to some portion of the U.S. coast — but it’s still too early to tell. In the meantime, watch this system’s progress and check your own storm supplies — just in case.
Elsewhere in the ridiculously busy tropics, a wave that’s entering the tropical central Atlantic has a low chance of developing during the next five days. Finally, yet another wave is expected to emerge into the eastern Atlantic on Thursday. This one has a medium chance of developing as it moves generally northward near the African coast during the next five days.
