Hurricane Fiona is the strongest hurricane of the Atlantic season, and now forecast models show a developing storm could become a monstrous threat to the US Gulf Coast by next week.
An area of disorganized activity a couple hundred miles east of the eastern reaches of the Caribbean Sea will likely become the next tropical storm – named Hermine – in the next few days, maybe even the next few hours, according to the National Hurricane Center.
The European model has it hitting the southern section of Florida a day earlier but as a much smaller but nearly as intense storm. If the storm system makes it into the Gulf like the forecast models say, the conditions are ripe for development. “The water is extremely warm, and the atmosphere is very conducive for rapid development,” Myers said. The conditions in the Gulf of Mexico are favorable for the system to strengthen, and it will do that very rapidly, Torres told CNN.
