The season's sixth named storm, Tropical Storm Fernand, weakened slightly overnight in the Atlantic Ocean and is expected to dissipate before the end of the work week, forecasters said Tuesday.

Tropical Storm Fernand is expected to continue weakening over the central Atlantic Ocean for the next couple of days and pose no threat to land, the National Hurricane Center in Miami said early Tuesday.

Forecasters with the National Hurricane Center (NHC) are continuing to monitor Tropical Storm Fernand swirling over the open waters of the Atlantic as chances of development for Invest 99L near the Caribbean have now fizzled out.
