possible on Dominica this evening or tonight and across the British Virgin Islands on Saturday.<\/p>\n<p>RAINFALL:\u00a0 Fiona is forecast to produce the following rainfall totals:<\/p>\n<p>Leeward Islands and Northern Windward Islands: 3 to 6 inches.<\/p>\n<p>British and U.S. Virgin Islands: 4 to 6 inches<\/p>\n<p>Puerto Rico: 4 to 8 inches with maximum totals of 12 inches, particularly across eastern and southern Puerto Rico.<\/p>\n<p>Eastern Dominican Republic: 6 to 10 inches with maximum totals of 16 inches possible<\/p>\n<p>Turks and Caicos: 4 to 8 inches These rains may produce flash

flooding will be possible along the coasts of the U.S. Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico in areas of onshore winds Saturday into Sunday.<\/p>\n<p>SURF:\u00a0 Swells generated by Fiona are affecting the

Swells will then reach the<\/p>\n<p>northern coast of Hispaniola, the Turks and Caicos Islands, and the<\/p>\n<p>southeastern Bahamas over the weekend.\u00a0 These conditions could cause<\/p>\n<p>life-threatening surf and rip current conditions.
