Hurricane conditions will spread from northeastern Cabo Verde to the northern and northwestern islands through Monday night and into early Tuesday. Hurricane-force winds extend out 15 miles from the center of Fred.
Rainfall accumulations of 4 to 6 inches are likely with up to 10 inches possible in spots, which could trigger life-threatening flash flooding and mudslides. Coastal flooding is an additional concern in areas of onshore winds.
After passing through Cabo Verde Islands, Fred will turn west-northwestward over the open Atlantic Ocean. Southwesterly winds aloft, stable air and cooler water temperatures should begin to weaken Fred later in the week.
There is no indication at this time that Fred will come anywhere near the Caribbean or North America based on the latest computer model guidance and the state of the atmosphere. In fact, Fred is forecast to weaken to a tropical depression and then a remnant low in about 4-5 days.
