Notes on Fred at 10:45 a.m.
This graphic shows in the wind watches and warnings currently in effect with Fred: Tropical Storm Watches are in green, Tropical Storm Warnings in yellow.
The forecast track in shown as the burgundy line. The expected area that will experience sustained tropical storm force wins is shown in light blue.
You can see the center clearly on this surface plot:
The Hurricane Hunters are finding maximum flight level winds of 52 knots or 60 mph. The pressure was 1007 mb.
The center is exposed, so quick strengthening is impossible. If those powerful storms to the east can wrap around the center, faster intensification could occur.
