TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) — Tropical Storm Fernand, which formed Saturday afternoon in the Atlantic, is continuing to move over the open ocean, with no indication it will make landfall.

Fernand is around 300 miles southeast of Bermuda and is moving north-northeast at around 15 mph, the National Hurricane Center said.

The storm is expected to continue in that direction for the next day or so, before making a turn to the northeast. It’s expected to stay well east of Bermuda, NHC said.

Fernand may strengthen some in the next 48 hours, but will likely start weakening by Tuesday.

Tropical storm-force winds are extending 105 miles from the center of the storm, and there are currently no watches or warnings in effect.

NHC is also keeping an eye on a tropical wave located about 200 miles east of the Windward Islands. The Windward Islands make up the southern half of the Lesser Antilles and generally include Dominica, Martinique, St. Lucia, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, Grenada, Barbados and Trinidad and Tobago.

The storm could develop into a tropical depression over the next day or so as it moves quickly west over the Lesser Antilles at around 20 mph.

By Tuesday, the system should reach the central Caribbean Sea, where conditions are forecast to be less favorable for further development.
