Fiona bringing heavy rainfall to Puerto Rico
Satellite imagery shows that the strongest part of the eyewall is over the Mona Passage west of Puerto Rico. Despite this, very heavy rainfall continues to affect most of Puerto Rico with a strong, moist flow flowing northward from the Caribbean Sea. Flash flooding and mudslides will continue to be a concern.
