Tropical Storm Fiona Likely not a Threat to the Gulf

September 16, 2022

A quick update on Fiona tonight but there's not much else to say that's not in the title. The latest NHC forecast is below and you can see the storm is likely to curve into the Atlantic around Monday and stay out of the Gulf of Mexico. There will be continued impacts to the northern Leeward Islands, Puerto Rico, Hispaniola, possibly the Bahamas, and then maybe Bermuda down the road. Impacts to the U.S. East Coast look pretty unlikely at this point but it's a bit too early to know for sure.

Looking at the rest of the tropics there's not much else to talk about. I've heard some chatter that activity may pick up later this month and into October but the way this season is going we'll just have to wait and see.



That's it for today on the tropics. I expect this will be my last post on Fiona. Here in the Southeast expect the weather to remain pretty nice through the week with maybe a chance of rain near the coast and expect the temps to go back up.

Have a good weekend.

Chris
