FOX 35 Storm Team Senior Meteorologist Noah Bergren is tracking showers and storms for Tuesday and a quiet week in the tropical Atlantic.
ORLANDO, Fla. - Forecasters with the National Hurricane Center (NHC) are continuing to monitor Tropical Storm Fernand swirling over the open waters of the Atlantic as chances of development for Invest 99L near the Caribbean have now fizzled out.
Here's the latest on what we know about the activity bubbling up in the tropics, as well as what possible impacts could be headed to Florida.
Tropical Storm Fernand
