Possibly, but unlikely. Fiona still has a small window of opportunity for intensification. However, after that point, the dry air and wind shear will begin to do their job, basically destroying Fiona.

If Fiona does miraculously survive past these two obstacle, then it does have a chance of some better organization and intensification. However, most likely, looking at the models right now, Gaston will be the big one.
