Tropical Storm Fred was declared late Tuesday evening, August 10, 2021, with max sustained winds of 40 mph. according to WTVY-TV in Dothan, Alabama
The track will generally be to the WNW over the coming days with only gradual organization expected due to some land interaction.
Further out, pay more attention to the cone, rather than the center track.
There’s plenty of uncertainty as we look towards the weekend and beyond.
A move into the Eastern Gulf and then northward towards the Wiregrass as a tropical storm is possible, but so is a landfall in South Florida or even a track up east coast of Florida.
Keep paying attention to the forecast over the coming days as we track Fred.
