21 Sep 2022 / Bermuda
The Bermuda Weather Service has issued a Tropical Storm Warning and a Hurricane Watch for Bermuda…
…At 800am EDT (1200 UTC), the eye of Hurricane Fiona was located by an Air Force Hurricane Hunter aircraft near latitude 24.2 North, longitude 71.7 West. Fiona is moving toward the north near 8mph (13 km/h). This general motion is expected to continue through this evening. A turn toward the north-northeast with an increase in forward speed is expected by Thursday. On the forecast track, the center of Fiona will continue to move away from the Turks and Caicos today, and approach Bermuda late on Thursday.
Maximum sustained winds are near 130 mph (215 km/h) with higher gusts. Fiona is a category 4 hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale. Some additional strengthening is forecast through tonight, with some fluctuations in intensity possible on Thursday.
Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 45 miles (75 km) from the center and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 160 miles (260 km)…
…Gusty winds are likely to continue over portions of the southeastern Bahamas and Turks and Caicos islands this morning.
Tropical storm conditions are expected, and hurricane conditions are possible, on Bermuda by late Thursday or early Friday.
Fiona is forecast to produce the following rainfall:
- Dominican Republic: Up to an additional local 1-2 inches. Storm total up to 20 inches in the eastern section.
- Turks and Caicos: Additional 1-3 inches with storm totals of 5-10 inches. Areas of flooding remain possible.
- Southeast Bahamas: 1-4 inches.
- Bermuda: 2-4 inches.
Swells generated by Fiona are affecting the northern coast of Hispaniola, the Turks and Caicos Islands, and the southeastern and central Bahamas. These swells will continue to spread westward across the southwestern Atlantic toward the northwestern Bahamas and the east coast of the United States during the next day or two. Swells from Fiona are expected to reach Bermuda by early Thursday.
The swells could cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions…
