The cone of uncertainty now encompasses all of peninsular Florida with a path that could bring it up through the middle of the state.
“I’m a Floridian. so I’m going to speak to you candidly. Don’t panic,” said NHC acting director Jamie Rhome. “It is important that you take this threat seriously and begin to execute your hurricane plans in a calm and orderly fashion while there’s still time to get ready.”There will be a slow intensification over the weekend projected to become a tropical storm by tonight and grow into hurricane strength by Monday morning with its center south of Cuba near the Cayman Islands and Jamaica.
“Our crews are proactively checking canals, ponds, pumps stations, drainwells, control structures, hot spots for any potential blockages today in preparation for the possible storm predicted,” Moody said. The relocation of JetBlue and other airlines to the new Terminal C will be rescheduled, according to the agency. A dedication event planned for the new terminal will also be postponed until a later date.
The five-day path has it hooking north by Tuesday over Cuba and then parked off Florida’s southwest coast as a Category 3 hurricane with 115 mph winds and gusts of 140 mph by Wednesday morning. Hurricane Fiona dropped back in intensity to a Category 3 hurricane with 125 mph sustained winds as it speeds north toward the coast of Nova Scotia.
While not a threat to Florida, the swells from Fiona are still causing surf and boating issues, with strong rip current conditions on the U.S. East Coast, including Florida as well as the Bahamas.
