Tracking the tropics:

Fiona crippled Puerto Rico Sunday bringing 30″ of rain in some spots. Fiona continues to strengthen and became a category 2 hurricane at 4PM Monday.

Monday the eye of Fiona is north of the Dominican Republic. The storm is expected to become a major category 4 hurricane as it nears Bermuda. By the time Fiona reaches Bermuda the primary concern will be damaging winds. Fiona will begin to move much quicker over the Atlantic and could impact the island with major hurricane force winds.

There are two other tropical waves in the Atlantic but it only has a low chance to become Gaston. Some models are suggesting the wave to the south could enter the Caribbean in the next 10 days, but it’s too far out to tell for sure. Make sure you have our Hurricane Tracker App for updates on this system and others that form in the tropics.

We have hurricane Fiona and two other regions with a low chance for development. (Copyright 2022 by KPRC Click2Houston - All rights reserved.)
