Tropical Storm Fernand, the sixth named system of the 2025 Atlantic hurricane season, formed late Saturday about 405 miles south-southeast of Bermuda, the US National Hurricane Center said. The storm reached maximum sustained winds of roughly 40 mph at inception and strengthened to 50 mph by early Monday. Fernand was located around 360 miles east-northeast of Bermuda on Monday morning, moving north-northeast at about 12–15 mph. Forecast models show the cyclone curling to the northeast and remaining over open water; no coastal watches or warnings have been issued. Forecasters say Fernand could briefly approach Category 1 intensity on Monday before cooler waters and stronger wind shear trigger a weakening trend late Monday night into Tuesday. The hurricane center is also tracking Invest 99L, a tropical wave east of the Windward Islands that now carries only a 10 percent chance of developing as it moves into the central Caribbean. Separately in the eastern Pacific, Tropical Storm Juliette formed Monday roughly 440 miles south-southwest of Mexico’s Baja California peninsula, likewise posing no immediate threat to land.
