A tropical storm warning issued for the US Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico as Fiona approaches
Tropical Storm Fiona’s center is approaching Guadeloupe and tropical storm conditions (winds 39 mph or higher), heavy rain and strong waves are expected in the Leeward Islands by Friday evening, the National Hurricane Center said.
The storm, packing winds of 50 mph with even higher gusts, was only about 75 miles east of Guadeloupe, late Friday morning.
The tropical storm conditions, which extend 140 miles from the center of the storm, have prompted multiple governments across the region to issue tropical storm warnings and watches.
Tropical Storm Fiona was forecast to move across the Caribbean’s easternmost islands Friday night before slowing to a spot just south of the Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico late Saturday and Sunday, the U.S. National Hurricane Center said.
Friday’s forecast increased the estimated rainfall totals for the affected islands, to as much as a foot (30 centimeters) in places across eastern and southern Puerto Rico and 16 inches (41 centimeters) in the eastern Dominican Republic.
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.
Gradual strengthening is expected over the next few days, and Fiona could become a hurricane by the middle of next week over the southwestern Atlantic near the Bahamas.
