Overview

  • The National Hurricane Center said Fernand was about 635 miles east-northeast of Bermuda early Tuesday with sustained winds near 45 mph and is expected to turn post-tropical by late Tuesday or Wednesday before dissipating Thursday.
  • No coastal watches or warnings are in effect for Fernand, which is moving northeast and trending farther out to sea away from Bermuda and the U.S. East Coast.
  • AccuWeather forecasters say Fernand has shifted east and poses no threat to land as it continues into open waters.
  • In the East Pacific, Tropical Storm Juliette was roughly 520 miles southwest of the Baja California peninsula with sustained winds near 65 mph, could strengthen briefly Tuesday, and is forecast to weaken starting Wednesday with no coastal alerts in effect.
  • Meteorologists expect suppressed Atlantic development through the first week of September due to sinking dry air, and NOAA urges preparedness now, including insurance checkups given the 30‑day flood‑insurance waiting period.
