Tropical Depression Seven forms in the Atlantic. If it becomes a tropical storm, it gets the name 'Fiona.'
An area of low pressure moving toward the Caribbean Sea has the potential to grow into a tropical storm by this evening or early Thursday, with a path headed for Puerto Rico.Wind speeds will increase just a bit to reach tropical storm status, somewhere around 40 miles per hour at the lowest. If it stays on a western path, impacts could be felt around the Leeward Islands, Hispaniola and Puerto Rico by this weekend.
If it becomes a tropical storm, it will be named Fiona. There’s a few factors that will limit how strong this system becomes, including land interaction in the Dominican Republic and possible shear . It’s best to have light winds blowing roughly in the same direction to maintain a stronger tropical system. Stronger winds in the mid and upper levels will generally prevent worse outcomes.
Your 4Warn Weather Team will of course keep a close eye on this tropical depression and all other potential threats that are floating around in the Atlantic.
