Hurricane Fiona continues its track towards the island and is a threat to Bermuda.

Late this afternoon, we convened an Emergency Measures Organisation meeting to get the latest update on Hurricane Fiona.

At this time, I am going to hand it over to Michelle for a weather briefing based on the 3.00 P.M. forecast.

Following her briefing, I will discuss other related matters.
