Generally easterly breeze today….. And that’s going to feel a little better.

A HURRICANE WARNING is now in effect as the recent forecast track of Major Hurricane Fiona has shifted closer to Bermuda while the wind field has expanded. Fiona is still expected to pass our near west Thursday night through Friday morning, but now over a longer period of time. Rain bands will sweep over us at times; swells and hazardous seas become dangerous. Winds rapidly increase Thursday night and reach Hurricane Force early on Friday morning.
Suppose the good news in all this is that Fiona will drop from a Category 4 to a Category 3 by the time it passes us.
Closest point of approach to Bermuda within 72 hrs (3 days) is forecast to be 98 nm to the NW, 5 am Fri, Sep 23, 2022. However, this system may move closer to Bermuda after this time period depending upon its track.
