Tropical Storm Fiona is the newest tropical storm in the Atlantic right now. Hopefully, Fiona will be the last tropical cyclone for the 2010 hurricane season. That could actually be possible as there is only a 10% chance of tropical cyclone formation in the Atlantic Ocean currently.

There is a broad area of low pressure located about 425 miles west-southwest of the Cape Verde Islands. The shower and thunderstorm activity associated with that has changed very little in organization today. If there is any development there it will be very slow as the system is moving westward at near 15 miles per hour. There is only a low chance of this system forming a tropical cyclone in the next 48 hours.

As related to Tropical Storm Fiona, there are a few watches and warnings in effect.

There are tropical storm warnings in effect for St. Martin and St. Barthelemy.

There is a tropical storm watch in effect for:

Antigua, Barbuda, Montserrat, St. Kitts, Nevis, Anguilla, St. Maarten, Saba, and St. Eustatius.

A tropical storm warning means that tropical storm conditions are expected somewhere within the warning area, in this case within the next 24 hours. A tropical storm watch means that tropical storm conditions are possible in within the watch area, in this case within the next 24 hours.

Hurricane Earl's movement is still west-northwest. Hurricane Earl is moving at 14 miles per hour.

Tropical Storm Fiona is following pretty much in Hurricane Earl's footsteps with her path. Fiona is moving west-northwest at 24 miles per hour.

Hurricane Earl is being tracked very closely as any shift in the hurricane's movement could mean that the eastern seaboard must be evacuated. Currently, his path appears to be moving in such a way that he will barely graze the East Coast, however, if his movement shifts, it could cause tremendous damage. Residents living from the Carolinas all the way up to New England should be very aware of Hurricane Earl and they should be paying attention to any updates.
