Monday Noon Tropics Update: Fernand heads north, Invest 99 fizzles
SUMMARY: Tropical Storm Fernand is improving in organization with 60 MPH winds but faces increasing wind shear and cooler waters as it moves north, likely weakening by Wednesday without threatening land. Invest 99 in the eastern Caribbean remains disorganized with strong wind shear, leading the National Hurricane Center to drop its development chance to 0%.
