We continue to monitor Tropical Storm Fiona. The latest forecast as of Friday morning shows that Fiona will continue its westward movement over the northern Leeward islands today bringing gusty winds and heavy rain to those islands. It'll continue to move west over the Caribbean through the weekend. Sometime on Monday, models are in agreement that it'll make a west-northwesterly turn near or over Hispaniola. It looks like it's unlikely that it'll move into the Gulf of Mexico. As we approach midweek next week, when Fiona pulls away from Hispaniola it may strengthen into the next hurricane of the season. Two areas highlighted by the NHC over the Atlantic have a low chance of tropical development in the next 2-5 days. There are no tropical threats to SE LA at least for the next 5 days or so!
