Puerto Rico

Tropical storm warnings issued for Leeward Islands and a watch for Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands.

A tropical storm watch has been added for Puerto Rico, including Vieques and Culebra, the U.S. Barthelemy and St. Maarten, Guadeloupe, St. As of 10 p.m. Eustatius, St. A tropical storm warning is in effect for some of the islands, and tropical storm watches have now been added for Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands.

Tropical Storm Fiona somewhat surprisingly formed last evening from the disturbance we followed across the tropical Atlantic.

Assuming it makes the turn and is in the Atlantic north of the islands early to midweek, we should have a better idea of its future track without the uncertainty of the mountains and other factors involved. But most computer forecast solutions turn the system north before it gets to the Bahamas, but they differ on where Fiona will be located and how strong it will be when it makes the turn. Although, if the system is too weak at that time, there's a chance Fiona could duck under the scoop and continue west toward Cuba. A dip in the jet stream is forecast to move over Florida and the Bahamas early in the week. Beginning late tomorrow, confidence is high that the system will steadily move through the northeastern Caribbean islands, the Virgin Islands, and be near Puerto Rico on Saturday. The storm is pushing against dry air and somewhat hostile upper winds, which should keep it from suddenly intensifying, if it intensifies much at all.

Tropical Storm Fiona continued to churn across the Atlantic Ocean Thursday and is forecast to threaten Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands this weekend.

"For this reason, interests along the East Coast of the U.S. Rainfall of 4 to 6 inches is likely in the U.S. Some computer models show the storm curving out to sea while others show it coming closer to the U.S. As such, initial indications are that the storm could miss the United States. However, since any direct interaction from Fiona in the U.S. The eventual track and strength of Fiona remain uncertain, forecasters said. Although Fiona's winds are forecast to strengthen over the coming days to 70 mph, current predictions keep it just below hurricane strength of 74 mph. Tropical storm watches were issued Thursday afternoon for Puerto Rico and the U.S. ['Triple dip' La Niña is on the way. Thursday, the center of Fiona was located about 335 miles east of the Leeward Islands and heading west at a speed of 15 mph.

Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 140 miles, mainly to the north of the center of the storm, the hurricane center said.

Tropical Storm Fiona is taking aim on the Caribbean and is set to bring heavy rain and possible flash flooding and mudslides to Puerto Rico this weekend.

Puerto Rico will see the first impacts from Fiona early Saturday morning. By Saturday afternoon and evening, the heavy rain will move in as the core of the storm churns just south of the island. Tropical Storm Fiona is taking aim on the Caribbean and is set to bring heavy rain and possible flash flooding and mudslides to Puerto Rico this weekend.

Tropical Storm Fiona was forecast to move across the Caribbean's easternmost islands Friday night, the U.S. National Hurricane Center said.

Tropical storm warnings were in effect for the Leeward Islands, and a tropical storm watch was issued for Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands and Dominica. Little change in strength is forecast during the next few days. That much rain may cause flash floods and mudslides in higher terrain, with coastal flooding and life-threatening surf possible as Fiona's winds blow ashore, the center said.

Tropical Storm Fiona is forecast to bring heavy rain to the Leeward Islands, Puerto Rico & Hispaniola (Haiti & Dominican Republic).

Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico Saturday, reaching the Dominican Republic Sunday, and the Turks and Caicos Monday night or Tuesday,” the hurricane center said Friday.

The tropical storm is moving quickly west at 15 mph and has maximum sustained winds near 50 mph with higher gusts. One of the systems, a frontal low, is producing disorganized showers and thunderstorms a few hundred miles west-northwest of Bermuda.

Watches could be issued for parts of the island sometime Friday.

When and if the storm reaches the Atlantic, and if it still has a circulation, the computer forecast models indicate a weather pattern conducive for redevelopment over the Atlantic waters. There's a small but not zero chance that a very weak Fiona ducks under the scoop and continues west south of Cuba. Both have a slight chance of developing as they move into the open ocean. It would then likely develop into a strong storm in the Atlantic well offshore of the Bahamas. At that time we might know to what degree the mountainous islands will come into play. Fiona could re-form after its trip over the mountains, or it could dissipate. Mudslides and local flooding are a threat, which will exaggerate as the soil further saturates. The rain may still be a threat there on Monday as well. The question is, when will that happen? When Fiona reaches the Caribbean, its forward speed is forecast to slow down a bit. First, we can't be sure of the Fiona's intensity on Sunday. A strong dip in the jet stream will set up along the East Coast of the U.S.

A stronger ridge would shunt it closer to the East Coast, but a weaker high would allow it to meander out to sea. The tricky thing about Fiona is that subtleties in the storm’s trajectory will have enormous bearings on next steps. At present, there are too many overlapping uncertainties to hatch a forecast with adequate confidence. At the low and mid-levels of the atmosphere, winds are out of the east — pushing Fiona west. Rainfall totals of 4 to 8 inches with localized 12-inch amounts are possible, along with flooding, especially where the U.S. Fiona will continue struggling against shear, or a disruptive change of wind speed and/or direction with height, though Saturday. At the upper levels, winds are southerly. The storm is set to slam into Puerto Rico and the Leeward Islands with strong winds and heavy rain in the next 36 to 48 hours, but thereafter, uncertainty skyrockets. It’s important not to get caught up on where the center is, however. Others paint a scenario a bit more concerning for the Southeast United States. There are even some indications that an intensifying Fiona could whir ominously close to the U.S. Tropical Storm Fiona has thrown forecasters a few curveballs thus far, and it doesn’t look like that’s about to change any time soon.
