Tropical Storm Fred Forecast Discussion Number 7
2021-08-11 10:46:52| National Hurricane Center (Atlantic)
Issued at 500 AM AST Wed Aug 11 2021 000 WTNT41 KNHC 110846 TCDAT1 Tropical Storm Fred Discussion Number 7 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL062021 500 AM AST Wed Aug 11 2021 Fred's satellite and radar presentation have changed little since it became a tropical storm yesterday evening. The system consists mainly of a circularly shaped area of deep convection with cloud tops colder than -70C on infrared images, with some rain bands trying to wrap around the center on radar images. The outer banding features have become indistinct on satellite imagery at the moment. Upper-level outflow remains well defined. Wind gusts to tropical storm force were reported at elevated sites at Cabo Rojo on the southwestern tip of Puerto Rico. The current intensity estimate is held at 35 kt, in agreement with Advanced Dvorak Technique estimates from UW-CIMSS. A west-northwestward motion appears to have resumed, at about 14 kt. The system should continue to move on this heading with a gradual decrease in forward speed, on the south side of a mid-level subtropical ridge, for the next 2-3 days. Around 72 hours, Fred should begin to turn to the right as it nears the western periphery of the ridge. During the next 3-5 days a generally northwestward track, toward a weakness in the ridge, is likely. The official forecast track is about the same as the previous one, and in good agreement with the latest TVCA and HCCA model consensus guidance. Again, users are advised that 4- and 5-day track forecasts have average errors of 175 and 200 miles, respectively. Although the vertical shear is currently low, which would normally be conducive for strengthening, the cyclone will soon begin to interact with the land mass of Hispaniola. This should cause some weakening later today and tonight. Some restrengthening should occur after the system moves away from that island. However, given the likely disruption of the circulation by the mountains, Fred may be slow to regain intensity. Moreover, an upper-level low and trough near Florida in 2-3 days could impart increasing west-southwesterly shear and limit intensification. The official intensity forecast is close to the model consensus and the LGEM guidance. As usual, there is significant uncertainty in the intensity forecast for the latter part of the period. KEY MESSAGES: 1. Tropical storm conditions are expected to begin in portions of the Dominican Republic this morning. Tropical storm conditions are possible in northern Haiti and the southeastern Bahamas by late today. 2. Heavy rainfall could lead to flash, urban, and small stream flooding, along with possible rapid river rises and the potential for mudslides across the U.S. Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, and the Dominican Republic. The greatest threat for flooding impacts will be across eastern and southern Puerto Rico. 3. There is a risk of wind and rainfall impacts elsewhere in portions of Hispaniola, the Bahamas, and Cuba during the next few days, although the forecast is more uncertain than usual since Fred is forecast to interact with Hispaniola today. Interests in these areas should monitor Fred's progress and updates to the forecast. 4. There is a risk of wind and rainfall impacts in Florida beginning Friday in the Keys and spreading northward through portions of the Peninsula and the Panhandle this weekend. However, it is too soon to determine the exact timing, location, and magnitude of any potential impacts. Interests throughout Florida should monitor Fred's progress and check updates to the forecast.

SUMMARY OF WATCHES AND WARNINGS IN EFFECT: A Tropical Storm Warning is in effect for... * Dominican Republic on the south coast from Punta Palenque eastward and on the north coast from the Dominican Republic/Haiti border eastward A Tropical Storm Watch is in effect for... * Haiti from the northern border with the Dominican Republic to Gonaives * Turks and Caicos Islands * Southeastern Bahamas A Tropical Storm Warning means that tropical storm conditions are expected somewhere within the warning area, in this case within the next 12 hours. A Tropical Storm Watch means that tropical storm conditions are possible within the watch area. Interests elsewhere in Haiti and the Bahamas, as well as in eastern and central Cuba, should monitor the progress of this system. For storm information specific to your area in the United States, including possible inland watches and warnings, please monitor products issued by your local National Weather Service forecast office. For storm information specific to your area outside of the United States, please monitor products issued by your national meteorological service. DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK ---------------------- At 500 AM AST (0900 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Fred was located near latitude 18.0 North, longitude 68.2 West. Fred is moving toward the west-northwest near 16 mph (26 km/h), and a general west-northwestward motion is expected to begin later today and continue for the next few days. On the forecast track, the center of Fred is expected to be near or over Hispaniola later today, move near the Turks and Caicos Islands and the southeastern Bahamas on Thursday, and move north of the northern coast of central Cuba on Friday. Maximum sustained winds are near 40 mph (65 km/h) with higher gusts. Some weakening is likely while the system interacts with Hispaniola later today. Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 45 miles (75 km) from the center. The estimated minimum central pressure is 1009 mb (29.80 inches). HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND ---------------------- Key messages for Tropical Storm Fred can be found in the Tropical Cyclone Discussion under AWIPS header MIATCDAT1, WMO header WTNT41 KNHC and on the web at www.hurricanes.gov/graphics_at1.shtml?key_messages. RAINFALL: Tropical Storm Fred is expected to produce the following rainfall amounts: Over Puerto Rico, and the Dominican Republic...2 to 4 inches, with isolated maximum totals of 6 inches. Heavy rainfall could lead to flash, urban, and small stream flooding, along with possible rapid river rises and the potential for mudslides across Puerto Rico, and the Dominican Republic. Over Haiti, the Turks and Caicos, eastern Bahamas, and eastern Cuba...1 to 3 inches with isolated maximum totals of 5 inches. WIND: Tropical storm conditions are expected in portions of the warning area in the Dominican Republic later this morning. Tropical storm conditions are possible along the northern coast of Haiti, the Turks and Caicos, and the southeastern Bahamas beginning late today. SURF: Swells generated by Tropical Storm Fred are expected to continue across the U.S. Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico and reach portions of Hispaniola today, where they could cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions. Please consult products from your local weather office. NEXT ADVISORY ------------- Next intermediate advisory at 800 AM AST. Next complete advisory at 1100 AM AST. $$ Forecaster Pasch
