00:00Tropical Storm. Fernand is spinning through the central Atlantic, but unlike its fiery predecessor, Aaron, this one's taking a calmer route. Fernand turned north much earlier than expected. And because of that twist in timing, it's no threat to the U.S. Even Bermuda will feel just the outskirts' rough seas, nothing more.
00:19Unlike Aaron's explosive growth, Fernand isn't expected to blow up. Still, warm Atlantic waters could help it strengthen into a solid tropical storm. Even as it sweeps past Newfoundland, its bite stays at sea. But here's where it gets interesting. Meteorologists are now watching two new zones, one off the southeast coast and another in the Gulf. A stalled front could stir up a homegrown tropical system right near the U.S. coastline as August fades into September. And that's not all.
00:47Warm waters are rebounding fast after Aaron's path, and the atmosphere's gearing up for more tropical action. In fact, early September could bring downpours and humidity roaring back to the northeast. So while Fernand drifts away, new threats may already be forming.
