FERNAND: At 5:00 AM, the center of Tropical Storm Fernand was
located near latitude 37.0 North, longitude 55.2 West. Fernand is
moving toward the northeast near 14 mph (22 km/h). A slightly
faster northeast motion is anticipated over the next couple of
days.

with higher gusts. Continued weakening is likely, and Fernand is
likely to become a post-tropical cyclone later tonight or early
Wednesday before dissipating on Thursday.

from the center.
The estimated minimum central pressure is 1005 mb (29.68 inches).
