Tropical Weather Forecast - September 21, 2022

The tropics are heating up with Category 4 Fiona getting Closer to Bermuda with 130 mph winds. Bermuda is under a Hurricane Watch and a Tropical Storm Warning with Fiona passing just to the west late Thursday into Friday. Gaston is still a Tropical Storm in the central Atlantic with no threat to land at this point. Two additional tropical waves in the middle and eastern Atlantic have a low-medium shot for development over the next 2-5 days. Tropical wave in the southern Atlantic is the one we are most concerned about since it has the highest chance to make it into the Caribbean and eventually the Gulf of Mexico over the next several days. If it strengthens, it would be named Hermine.
