Latest On Fernand And Other Area To Watch

Tropical Storm Fernand is still churning in the Atlantic. Fortunately, Fernand poses no threat to the U.S., or any other land areas as another tropical disturbance in the Caribbean Sea also now has dwindling chances of development.

Fernand -- pronounced fair-NAHN -- became the sixth storm of the 2025 Atlantic hurricane season late Saturday afternoon after a Hurricane Hunter mission found a closed low-pressure circulation with thunderstorms.

It's located several hundred miles east-northeast of Bermuda.

As the forecast path map above shows, Fernand is expected to curl northeast the next couple of days.

This path should keep the tropical storm well southeast of Newfoundland, Canada, when it will become a non-tropical low over the north Atlantic.

Fernand is no threat to the U.S. and is well east of the track Erin took last week.

While we can't rule it out, its chance of becoming the season's second hurricane appears low.

There is a tropical wave moving westward through the Windward Islands, which has been tagged Invest 99L by the National Hurricane Center.

This system has produced some showers and gusty winds in the Windward Islands since Sunday.

But according to the NHC, this system now has a low chance of developing as it is moving into an environment of stronger wind shear. Showers will continue into Monday in the Windward Islands.
