The Canadian Hurricane Centre in Halifax is keeping a close eye on Fiona.
They say it’s too early right now to predict detailed impacts, but add it’s a storm we should watch closely.
New models indicate we could see its impact Friday into Saturday before it moves to Newfoundland.
The @ECCC_CHC is monitoring hurricane Fiona which is expected to intensify over the next few days as it moves northward. Although too early to predict any detailed impacts, Fiona’s progress should be monitored closely this week as it could affect eastern Canada on the weekend. pic.twitter.com/UUBQ01KRNH

The powerful hurricane made landfall in Puerto Rico on Sunday, and caused widespread power outages and flooding. Last reports show roughly 1.5 million people with power.
U.S. President Joe Biden declared a state of emergency as the eye of the storm approached the island’s southwest corner.
