In route to a weekend strike on Atlantic Canada, Hurricane Fiona will pass well east of the U.S. East Coast. Meanwhile, a tropical wave over the southeastern Caribbean Sea will need to be monitored as it moves west-northwestward, likely becoming a named storm by early next week while approaching the Gulf of Mexico. Across the U.S. mainland, an active pattern across the North will feature scattered showers associated with a pair of fast-moving cold fronts.
