Our weather pattern is about to shift toward more fall-like weather this week. Sunday is warmer in the mid-80s for highs as a breeze develops from the west. A few storms are possible in the Piedmont Triad with better rain chances in the Mountains and Foothills.
The former Hurricane Erin headed out to sea and became a non-tropical system on Friday, but the National Hurricane Center continued to track two other systems on Saturday in the Atlantic. One of them could become Tropical Storm Fernand soon. As of Saturday morning that system was located about 500 miles south-southeast of Bermuda.
A tropical depression is expected to form later today with further strengthening likely on Sunday, potentially becoming Tropical Storm Fernand. Hurricane hunters are set to investigate the system later today.
