Tropical Storm Fernand has formed in the Atlantic Ocean and is currently moving eastward, well away from the U.S. coast. Forecasters from the National Hurricane Center are closely monitoring Fernand as it strengthens over open waters, while chances for the development of a tropical wave in the Caribbean have diminished. The storm poses no immediate threat to land, particularly Florida, and a quiet week is expected along the North Carolina coast. Meanwhile, Hurricane forecasters are also tracking other disturbances, including Invest 99L, but the focus remains on Fernand as it journeys through the Atlantic.
