Tropical Storm Fernand strengthened gradually on Sunday as it passed east of Bermuda.\u00a0 More thunderstorms developed near the center of Fernand’s circulation.\u00a0 More thunderstorms also formed in bands revolving around the center of Tropical Storm Fernand.\u00a0 Storms near the center of Fernand generated upper level divergence that pumped more mass away from the tropical storm.<\/p>\n
The strongest winds were blowing in the eastern side of Tropical Storm Fernand.\u00a0 Winds to tropical storm force extended out 60 miles (95 km) in the eastern side of Fernand’s circulation.\u00a0 The winds in the western side of Fernand were blowing at less than tropical storm force.<\/p>\n
Tropical Storm Fernand will move through an environment favorable for intensification during the next 24 hours.\u00a0 Fernand will move over water where the Sea Surface Temperatures are near 28\u00b0C.\u00a0 It will move under the eastern side of an upper level trough that is east of the U.S.\u00a0 The upper level trough will produce westerly winds that will blow toward the top of Fernand\u2019s circulation.\u00a0 Those winds will cause some vertical wind shear.\u00a0 The vertical wind shear will inhibit intensification, but the wind shear will not be enough to prevent intensification.\u00a0 Tropical Storm Fernand will intensify during the next 24 hours.<\/p>\n
The upper level trough that is east of the U.S. will steer Tropical Storm Fernand toward the northeast during the next 24 hours.\u00a0 On its anticipated track, Tropical Storm Fernand move farther away from Bermuda on Monday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
