Tropical Storm Fernand is currently located more than 60 miles south of Cape Race, Newfoundland, Canada, and is moving off to the northeast at 13 mph.

MIAMI Tropical Storm Fernand is refusing to give into its inevitable demise, and now forecasters say the system could restrengthen a bit before finally dissipating over the north Atlantic later this week.

The tropical storm had strengthened over the weekend and early this week before starting to weaken, but now the National Hurricane Center (NHC) said it could once again briefly get its act together and strengthen before it fizzles into nothingness.
