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.

Spaghetti models—computer models that illustrate potential storm paths—suggested that Tropical Storm Fernand was expected to track north-northeast over the Atlantic.
