MERIDIAN, Miss. (WTOK) - Tropical Cyclone Fernand has formed out in the Central Atlantic, moving northward over the next few days. It’s not expected to grow very large, only getting as high as a Tropical Storm. It’s also not expected to pose a risk to the Continental United States on its northerly trek either.

Tropical Storm Fernand has begun to weaken and will weaken further, the National Hurricane Center said on Tuesday, Aug. 26.
