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

Tropical Storm Fernand is forecast to weaken as it churns over the open Atlantic Ocean, and odds have plummeted for a system to develop near the eastern Caribbean.

Tropical Storm Fernand has formed in the Atlantic Ocean southeast of Bermuda, forecasters said Saturday. Fernand is the sixth named storm of the 2025 Atlantic hurricane season, and it comes on the heels of Hurricane Erin, which formed in a similar area on Aug. 15.

A powerful dust storm swept across Nevada's Black Rock Desert over the weekend, as thousands gathered for the annual week-long Burning Man festival.

Massive dust storms at Burning Man 2025 damage camps and vehicles, leading to traffic disruptions and a temporary airport closure at Black Rock City.

Burning Man attendees faced the threat of dust storms and heavy rain as the festival opened, with the National Weather Service (NWS) issuing weather alerts for northern and central Nevada. The San Francisco Chronicle reported that campsites that had been erected early were damaged after a dust storm hit the desert before the festival began.
