MIAMI – Forecasters are continuing to monitor strengthening Tropical Storm Fernand swirling over the open waters of the Atlantic as Invest 99L has fizzled over the eastern Caribbean Sea.

The two systems come as millions of people up and down the East Coast were blasted by impacts from Hurricane Erin as the monster storm moved dangerously close to the U.S. last week.

The National Hurricane Center (NHC) said that Tropical Storm Fernand has maximum sustained winds of 50 mph with some higher gusts, and some strengthening is possible on Monday before weakening is set to begin Monday night.

The tropical storm is then expected to become post-tropical on Wednesday.

Tropical Storm Fernand is currently located about 360 miles east-northeast of Bermuda, and was moving off to the north-northeast at 12 mph.

The NHC said that Tropical Storm Fernand is expected to continue that motion for the next day or so, followed by a turn to the northeast.

On that forecast track, Tropical Storm Fernand should move across the open waters of the subtropical central Atlantic well east and northeast of Bermuda.

However, Fernand isn’t the only system that’s being monitored by the NHC.

Farther south, the NHC had been monitoring Invest 99L over the warm waters of the Caribbean, but development chances for that system have dropped to zero.

The NHC said that showers and thunderstorms associated with Invest 99L have remained disorganized, and further development is no longer expected.

Despite that, portions of the Windward Islands could still see some gusty winds and rain on Monday as the system moves quickly to the west.
