Tropical Storm Fernand expected to continue weakening: See path tracker
Tropical Storm Fernand, the sixth named storm of the 2025 Atlantic hurricane season, is continuing to weaken as it moves away from the U.S. East Coast.
The National Hurricane Center said in its 5 a.m. ET advisory on Tuesday, Aug. 26, that Fernand was located about 635 miles east-northeast of Bermuda. It had maximum sustained winds near 45 mph with higher gusts.
Hurricane center forecasters said continued weakening is likely, and Fernand is expected to become a post-tropical cyclone later on Aug. 26 or Wednesday, Aug. 27, before dissipating on Thursday, Aug. 28.
Fernand is moving toward the northeast near 14 mph, and a slightly faster northeast motion is anticipated over the next couple of days. There are no coastal watches or warnings in effect from Fernand, according to the hurricane center.

This forecast track shows the most likely path of the center of the storm. It does not illustrate the full width of the storm or its impacts, and the center of the storm is likely to travel outside the cone up to 33% of the time.

Illustrations include an array of forecast tools and models, and not all are created equal. The hurricane center uses only the top four or five highest-performing models to help make its forecasts.
NHC is also tracking Tropical Storm Juliette in the Pacific
The National Hurricane Center is also keeping tabs on Tropical Storm Juliette in the Pacific Ocean, according to a morning advisory on Aug. 26.
The hurricane center said Juliette, the tenth tropical storm of the 2025 East Pacific hurricane season, was located about 520 miles southwest of the southern tip of the Baja California peninsula. It has maximum sustained winds near 65 mph with higher gusts.
Forecasters said some addition strengthening is possible Aug. 26, and a weakening trend is anticipated to begin Aug. 27. Juliette is moving through the west-northwest near 13 mph and this general motion is expected to continue. A turn toward the northwest is forecast by the night Aug. 27.
There are no coastal watches or warnings in effect from Juliette, according to the hurricane center.
How do hurricanes form?
Hurricanes are born in the tropics, above warm water. Clusters of thunderstorms can develop over the ocean when water temperatures exceed 80 degrees. If conditions are right, the clusters swirl into a storm known as a tropical wave or tropical depression.
A tropical depression becomes a named tropical storm once its sustained wind speeds reach 39 mph. When its winds reach 74 mph, the storm officially becomes a hurricane.
Prepare now for hurricanes
Delaying potentially lifesaving preparations could mean waiting until it's too late. "Get your disaster supplies while the shelves are still stocked, and get that insurance checkup early, as flood insurance requires a 30-day waiting period," the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration recommends.
Develop an evacuation plan. If you are at risk from hurricanes, you need an evacuation plan. Now is the time to begin planning where you would go and how you would get there.
Assemble disaster supplies. Whether you're evacuating or sheltering in place, you're going to need supplies not just to get through the storm but for a possibly lengthy aftermath, NOAA said.
Get an insurance checkup and document your possessions. Contact your insurance company or agent now and ask for an insurance checkup to make sure you have enough insurance to repair or even replace your home and belongings. Remember, home and renters insurance don't cover flooding, so you'll need a separate policy for those. Flood insurance is available through your company, agent or the National Flood Insurance Program. Act now, because flood insurance requires a 30-day waiting period.
Create a family communication plan. NOAA says you should take the time now to write down a hurricane plan and share it with your family. Determine family meeting places and make sure to include an out-of-town location in case of evacuation.
Strengthen your home. Now is the time to improve your home's ability to withstand hurricanes. Trim trees and install storm shutters, accordion shutters and impact glass; seal outside wall openings.
