Tropical Storm Fernand Forms After Hurricane Erin’s Record-Breaking Surge

WooGlobe

Tropical Storm Fernand has officially formed in the Atlantic, just days after Hurricane Erin stunned forecasters by skyrocketing to a Category 5. With Fernand currently 400 miles south of Bermuda, experts warn that even without a landfall, the storm’s impacts could be felt far and wide — from rip currents to dangerous beach conditions.  This video breaks down Fernand’s projected path, why it matters, and what makes this 2025 hurricane season so intense. With record-warm ocean waters and perfect storm conditions, NOAA says we're only getting started.  Even if Fernand stays out to sea, are we ready for what’s next?

00:00Tropical Storm Fernand just spun up in the Atlantic.

00:03And it's not just a storm. It's a warning.

00:05Fresh off Hurricane Aaron's explosive rise to Category 5,

00:09Fernand has now formed about 400 miles south of Bermuda,

00:12with winds at 40 miles per hour and moving north.

00:15It's expected to stay far from land, but don't let that fool you.

00:19Forecasters say it might briefly become a hurricane,

00:22but likely fizzles out by Tuesday.

00:24Still, that doesn't mean it's harmless.

00:27Big waves and deadly rip currents are already threatening beaches.

00:31Even without landfall, these storms shake the coast.

00:34Aaron, for example, never hit land.

00:36Yet it stirred up dangerous seas from the Outer Banks to New England.

00:40And experts warn, storms like these are getting stronger, faster.

00:45Ocean temps are hotter. Winds are calmer.

00:47And African monsoons are seeding more storms than ever.

00:51That's why NOAA is calling this hurricane season one of the busiest on record.

00:55So even if Fernand stays at sea, its waves and warnings hit home.

01:00Stay alert. Stay ready.

01:02Because the ocean is only getting louder.
