Fernand is not expected to pose a threat to Florida or the U.S. as it moves north in the central Atlantic before dissipating later this week.

The National Hurricane Center is tracking five tropical disturbances in the Atlantic, according to the 2 p.m. Friday, Aug. 22, advisory from the National Hurricane Center. Invest 90L near the Leeward Islands is "very likely" to become a tropical depression or tropical storm over the weekend. If so, it would become Fernand.
