Puerto Rico is bracing for Tropical Storm Fiona, as the National Hurricane Center stated late Saturday afternoon that 'life-threatening flooding and mudslides' are possible across the island over the next few days due to the storm.
forecasters expect wind shear in the Gulf of Mexico and nearby steering winds to shift Fiona into a northly path after it reaches the Bahamas.
This could allow Fiona to wander close to the Atlantic coast of the U.S. next weekend and beyond, AccuWeather forecasters said.
