Heavy rainfall is expected to continue across portions of Puerto Rico, which are still experiencing flooding from the storm's arrival a couple of days ago. Tropical storm conditions are expected over southeastern portions of the Bahamas early Tuesday. 

Fiona is expected to eventually shift north-northeast as it moves through the Atlantic. While landfall should not occur along the east coast of the U.S., rough surf conditions are expected.
