Note: I continue to add stuff to the blog. So, continue to come back, and take a look to see what is happening in the tropics. We have Hurricane Fred in the Eastern Atlantic, and a low off the Mid-Atlantic Coast while Linda weakened to tropical storm status again in the Eastern Pacific. Here is what I've posted to the site on Friday morning in addition to over the past week:

The Storm Prediction Center in Norman, Oklahoma has discontinued a Tornado Watch that had been issued for portions of New Jersey on Friday. There are still various various advisories and watches already issued for the Mid-Atlantic as the National Weather Service has had its hands full with a pesky coastal low that is slowly spinning northward along the coast.

Meanwhile, Fred continues to steadily weaken in the Eastern Atlantic. As of the 11:00 AM EDT Advisory from the National Hurricane Center in Miami, Florida, the storm was located some 740 miles to the West-Northwest of the Cape Verde Islands. Moving very slowly to the North at 1 mile per hour, Fred's winds have slackened to just Category One strength at 80 miles per hour while gusts are down to 100 miles per hour.

Minimum central pressure with Fred has risen to 983 millibars, or about 29.03 inches of Hg. Hurricane force winds extend only 25 miles from the eye while tropical storm force winds still reach approximately 115 miles. Hurricane Fred has been stationary at times, and the latest discussion indicates that it is moving through very light steering currents. In addition, the storm has been encountering more shear, which has attacked the structure of the storm causing it to become elongated and deteriorate. The latest NHC discussion makes Fred a remnant low in 96 hours.
