Tropical Storm Fernand continues to weaken as it moves east away from the U.S. coast, according to the National Hurricane Center.

Tropical Storm Fernand is continuing to weaken in the Atlantic, and forecasters with the National Hurricane Center (NHC) predict the storm is likely to become a post-tropical cyclone Tuesday night or early Wednesday before then dissipating on Thursday.

Tropical Storm Fernand is forecast to weaken as it churns over the open Atlantic Ocean, and odds have plummeted for a system to develop near the eastern Caribbean.
