Tropical Systems: Atlantic and Pacific Basins
The National Hurricane Center (NHC) continues to monitor two tropical storms: Tropical Storm Fernand in the Atlantic and Tropical Storm Juliette in the Eastern Pacific.
Tropical Storm Fernand: As of the latest update, Tropical Storm Fernand has maximum sustained winds of 50 mph. It is located over the central subtropical Atlantic and is moving eastward at 12 mph. The storm is expected to become post-tropical by Wednesday night as it moves over cooler waters and encounters increasing wind shear. Fernand poses no direct threat to land.

Tropical Storm Juliette: In the Eastern Pacific, Tropical Storm Juliette has also seen its winds decrease to 50 mph. The storm is moving north-northwestward and is expected to weaken rapidly and become a remnant low by Thursday as it moves into a less favorable environment. While the system itself is fading, its residual moisture could enhance monsoonal rainfall in parts of northwestern Mexico and the southwestern U.S. toward the end of the week.
