As Hurricane Fiona heads toward Atlantic Canada, the tropical depression currently crossing the Caribbean Sea will become a named storm.
By early next week, the tropical cyclone—likely at hurricane intensity—may pose a significant threat to Florida’s peninsula, although there is still considerable forecast uncertainty.
Across the remainder of the U.S. mainland, generally tranquil weather will prevail for the next 5 days. Outside of Florida’s peninsula, any rainfall totals greater than an inch should be limited to portions of the Great Lakes region.
Largely dry, “quiet” weather ahead for the Heartland; tropical Atlantic “active.”
