Parts of Atlantic Canada are bracing for hurricane-force winds, heavy rainfall and a dangerous storm surge
that meteorologists are carefully tracking in the Atlantic, which has roared to life amid the peak of hurricane season.There’s also Tropical Storm Gaston, which is centered 375 miles west-northwest of the Azores over the northeast Atlantic. The Azores are under tropical storm warnings, and could see conditions deteriorate Friday and remain inclement through late Saturday. In addition, a tropical wave exiting the coast of Senegal in Africa could strengthen into a named storm in the next few days.
After sideswiping Bermuda, Fiona will accelerate northward, tugged a bit to the west by an approaching trough, or strip of low pressure, exiting the U.S. East Coast. That will send the storm careening into southeast Canada in eastern Nova Scotia or the Gulf of St. Lawrence. Exacerbating the effect will be a “pressure dipole.” That means a sharp contrast in air pressure over a short distance, in this case owing to an intense high pressure dome southeast of Greenland. The steep gradient, or change in air pressure with distance, will funnel extremely strong winds toward the vacuum-like low.
