It’s a nice sight to see – with no areas to watch for development across the Atlantic.

Tropical Storm Fernand is about 1,000 miles south of Cape Race, Newfoundland. It is moving northeast through the open Atlantic and will continue on this path.

Fernand has sustained winds of 40 mph and there is a chance it briefly strengthens Wednesday, keeping it as a tropical system for a bit longer.

By Wednesday night, Fernand will likely be post-tropical as the circulation gets swept up in a trough.

September brings an increase in tropical activity and is typically the most active month of the season.

We’ve been watching Invest 99L while it moves over the warm waters of the eastern Caribbean, but it is not looking impressive Monday morning.

The odds have dropped to zero for Invest 99L to develop. Showers and thunderstorms associated with the area have continued to remain unorganized since Sunday.

Invest 99L will bring gusty winds and rain to the Windward Islands as the system quickly moves west the next few days.

The last week of August is featuring a rather quiet Atlantic Basin.

The only other area of interest is Tropical Storm Fernand. It strengthened slightly with sustained winds up to 50 mph.

Fernand is about 550 miles ENE of Bermuda. The storm is moving north-northeast at 12 mph and will not make any impact to land as it moves across the open Atlantic.

September 10 is the climatological peak of the Atlantic hurricane season.
