MIAMI — Tropical Storm Fernand strengthened Sunday over the open Atlantic Ocean well east of Bermuda.
The Miami-based National Hurricane Center reported Fernand was located some 360 miles east-southeast of Bermuda by Monday morning. It had maximum sustained winds of 50 mph (85 kph) and was headed north-northeast at 12 mph.
The hurricane center said Fernand was expected to curl more to the northeast as it moves away from Bermuda. Further strengthening is expected, though forecasters said Fernand would likely begin to weaken Tuesday.
Fernand is far from land, and no coastal watches or warnings were in effect.
