National Hurricane Center Tracking
Tropical Storm Fiona is chugging across the Atantic, and islands recently threatened by Earl now are under tropical storm watches and warnings for Fiona.
The National Hurricane Center’s forecast track shows that by Saturday, Fiona still will be only a tropical storm, and will be hundreds of miles east of northern Florida, heading for a collision with the Carolinas or New England or an ignominious fizzle in the North Atlantic.
According to the National Hurricane Center’s 8 a.m. advisory, the storm was about 500 miles east of the Leeward Islands.
It was moving west-northwest at a brisk 24 mph.
Top sustained winds were 40 mph, making Fiona only the barest of tropical storms.
Fiona is forecast to make a gradual turn to the northwest and speed up and only “slow” strengthening is expeted in the next day or two.
