Tropical Storm Fernand is continuing to weaken in the Atlantic, and forecasters with the National Hurricane Center (NHC) predict the storm is likely to become a post-tropical cyclone Tuesday night or early Wednesday before then dissipating on Thursday.

The National Hurricane Center continued to track Tropical Storm Fernand in the central Atlantic on Monday, but the Gulf remained very quiet as the peak of the Atlantic hurricane season approaches. There were no storms expected to develop in the Gulf in at least the next seven days, according to hurricane center forecasts.

Fernand is not expected to pose a threat to Florida or the U.S. as it moves north in the central Atlantic before dissipating later this week.
