Tropical Storm Fernand has formed in the Atlantic Ocean southeast of Bermuda, forecasters said Saturday. Fernand is the sixth named storm of the 2025 Atlantic hurricane season, and it comes on the heels of Hurricane Erin, which formed in a similar area on Aug. 15.

The season's sixth named storm, Tropical Storm Fernand, weakened slightly overnight in the Atlantic Ocean and is expected to dissipate before the end of the work week, forecasters said Tuesday.

Erin developed in the eastern Atlantic, moving westward from the Cabo Verde Islands at about 20 mph (32 km/h). Infrared sensors on NOAA's GOES-19 satellite reveal colder cloud tops and deep convection near the center — signs of a strengthening system feeding on warm ocean waters.

The National Hurricane Center is monitoring a tropical storm and a disturbance in the Atlantic Ocean. Hurricane Erin officially became post-tropical on Saturday, the NHC said. None of these systems are expected to directly impact Florida or the United States.

In the Atlantic basin, Fernand formed Saturday but was also far from land and forecast to remain over open ocean waters. It was about 360 miles east-northeast of Bermuda with maximum sustained winds of 50 mph and heading north-northeast at 12 mph.

Tropical Storm Fernand, which formed Aug. 24, is 295 miles southeast of Bermuda. It should move well east of Bermuda and across the open waters of the subtropical North Atlantic. The storm's maximum sustained winds are near 40 mph with tropical storm force winds extending outward 105 miles.

Tropical Storm Fernand – pronounced fair-nahn – has formed in the Atlantic Ocean, becoming the sixth named storm of the 2025 Atlantic hurricane season, according to the National Hurricane Center.

The National Hurricane Center said on Aug. 29 it is keeping tabs on two tropical waves in the Pacific Ocean and one in the Atlantic Ocean.

Although the tropical storm may gain some strength on Monday, it is expected to begin to weaken Monday night and Tuesday.
