As the Cape Verde season begun, a Tropical wave exited the coast on August 4. Favorable conditions in the main development region led to a Tropical Depression on August 7, which became Tropical Storm Fiona 18 hours later. Fiona rapidly intensified as shear was low and water temperatures were very high. Fiona became a hurricane on August 9, and became the first major hurricane of the season on August 11. Fiona passed through the Lesser Antilles, causing moderate damages, killing 10. Fiona peaked on August 12, with 125 mph winds. Shortly after, wind shear increased in the area, and Fiona weakened. Fiona curved to the east as it dropped below hurricane intensity on August 15. Fiona raced off to the east, becoming extratropical on August 17.
