He looks like an evil villian giving a certain hand signal to the CONUS.

In honor of our friends from the UK I think Sir Fred would be appropriate.

Fred looks well on his way to becoming a hurricane. Amazing how quickly Fred has organized since coming off Africa. Glad there is a weakness in the ridge and Fred will not become anyones nightmare....MGC

I agree with you, Brent. This has a history of fast development so far. Since it's already at 60 knots it only needs 5 more knots. If you see a "visible" eye in the IR or SSMI by 10PM EDT then it's a done deal. A discernible eye usually shows up around 77 knots/89mph. But if it looks the same then as it does now and Dvorak numbers haven't come up, they'll probably wait 'til 5AM and you should call it a night, Leanne (and the rest of us)!

Unlike many of you, I've spent many nights over the past 30 years having to work from 9pm to 6am (sometimes longer). I can wait until morning to find out. ;-)

I think i am going to stick this one out as long as i can.
I am on the mobile keeping track now rather than the laptop which might make falling asleep a little easier lol.

I applaud you who are not pro mets following this one! Many say they have the interest but it often is about what concerns them personally and I will admit I am more than half way among that group. But I'm totally enjoying you all watching for the next development of what looks by all signs to be a fish but a very interesting BIG fish!

Good on ya! You may be few but you back up the talk (and of course a pro met can and should wait til morning!!! A life job like this has to be paced or insanity takes over).

That's my story, comfortable with the consensus of the models, and I'm stickin' to it (though I'll admit, deep somewhere in my rock brain I'm waiting until the north turn to let Fred stop being a potential Flint stone)

Then get your well deserved sleep! I've watched your forecasts for a long time and you are top notch.
