Tropical Weather Forecast - September 2, 2025
A tropical wave is located over the far eastern tropical Atlantic southwest of the Cabo Verde islands and continues to produce disorganized showers and thunderstorms. Environmental conditions remain conducive for gradual development of this system during the next several days, and a tropical depression is likely to form late this week or this weekend. This system is expected to initially move slowly westward and then gradually accelerate west-northwestward at around 15 mph across the eastern and central tropical Atlantic.

Tropical Weather Update - August 27, 2025
Tropical Storm Fernand is a little stronger but still disorganized in the Central Atlantic. It should lose tropical characteristics tonight or tomorrow as it heads into the colder water and harsh jet stream current in the north Atlantic. Elsewhere, there are a few weak tropical waves including one in the Caribbean that are unlikely to organize over the next few days. Remember to stay alert as the peak of hurricane season is approaching in a couple of weeks.

Tropical Weather Forecast - August 26, 2025
Tropical Storm Fernand is not going down in the history books as anything remarkable. It should fizzle later today and tomorrow as it heads into the colder water and harsh jet stream current in the north Atlantic. Elsewhere, there are a few weak tropical waves including one in the Caribbean that are unlikely to organize over the next few days. So things are fairly quiet in the tropics. However, we are about to enter into what is usually the busiest month of the hurricane season, September. So stay alert and be ready to take action if a tropical system heads towards us.

Tropical Weather Forecast - August 25, 2025
The season's sixth tropical storm, Fernand, is not much of a story in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. It has avoided any land and is a small system with winds near 60 mph. It will move to the north and northeast, likely losing tropical characteristics by Wednesday. Elsewhere, a tropical wave just entering the Caribbean doesn't look impressive and is unlikely to get stronger. Development chance for Invest 99L is now down to near 0%. We will continue to keep a close eye on the entire Atlantic basin as we near the peak of hurricane season on September 10.

Tropical Weather Update: August 24, 2025
Tropical Storm Fernand is slowly strengthening and should move across the open waters of the subtropical central Atlantic well east and northeast of Bermuda. Data from Air Force reconnaissance aircraft indicate that the tropical wave east of the Windward Islands (Invest 99L) does not have a closed low-level circulation. The system is expected to reach the central Caribbean Sea on Tuesday, where conditions are forecast to become less favorable for additional development.

Tropical Weather Update: Tropical Storm Fernand forms in the Atlantic
Tropical Storm Fernand has formed in the Atlantic. Fernand should follow a path similar to Hurricane Erin, avoiding a direct landfall to the US coast. Conditions are not as favorable as they were for Erin, so Fernand is expected to be an overall smaller system.

Tropical Weather Update: Hurricane Erin drops to "post-tropical"
Hurricane Erin has officially lost tropical characteristics and become "post-tropical" as it moves away from the U.S. East Coast and becomes a cold weather wind storm in the north Atlantic. Elsewhere, a tropical wave will likely become Fernand and will follow a similar path to Erin - avoiding any U.S. landfall. It's likely to be a much smaller system. Behind that, another wave should be slow to develop as it moves toward the Caribbean. Models are not showing it doing much just yet, but it's one to watch longer term.
