Fernand Weakens Over Open Atlantic, On Track to Turn Post-Tropical by Midweek

Forecasters expect a brief lull in Atlantic development with the Caribbean disturbance fading.

This image shows two different model runs of the American GFS. The first run of the GFS, at left captured at 7 p.m. Saturday, shows a powerful hurricane approaching the Florida Panhandle in early September. The same model, but run just 24 hours later, at right, shows the same period in early September with barely any storm activity at all. 
An NHC graphic highlights features being monitored in the Eastern Pacific.

Overview

  • As of late Monday, Fernand was about 425 miles east-northeast of Bermuda with sustained winds near 60 mph, moving north-northeast around 13 mph, according to the National Hurricane Center.
  • The storm is forecast to remain over open water, begin weakening, and transition to a post-tropical system by Wednesday with no watches or warnings in effect.
  • A tropical wave that crossed the Windward Islands entered unfavorable conditions, with NHC assigning a 10% chance of development over two to seven days and some outlets reporting a later reduction to zero.
  • The NHC’s outlook indicated no additional areas of concern in the Atlantic for at least the next week.
  • In the Eastern Pacific, Tropical Storm Juliette formed as the season’s 10th named storm and is expected to stay over the open ocean without coastal alerts.
