My wife asked me if this was true.
Told her no, that there was a very small chance that it could .

Like Craig Setzer but hate blanket statements like that.
Still hope hes right.
They get paid well to make predictions, you might he hoping for more out of fred but setzer and morales are very tuned into predicting tropical weather in sofla, they are also very well connected to the nhc.

Let's see if Fred's persistent pulse is sufficient to lift those skimpy wind probs on the 11 pm advisory. I'm thinking yes

NHC actually bumped their forecast intensity down despite the increase in convection. Seems like a strange decision to me, but the way it's worded it seems they want the models to go up before they buy into Fred.

They might just be waiting to see if the center moves inland over Cuba or not. And also to see how much the shear ends up affecting it, which hasn't been much yet.

Good catch, I mistakenly was looking at the 11am discussion instead.

11pm track looks similar to the 5pm track, just everything is pushed back 6 hours (But more or less keeping the 5pm points). I think they are going to hold until the morning before deciding to upgrade again or not. 2AM maybe, but more likely 5am. FWIW, the NHC's track has been pretty spot on to this point, go back a few days to check.

Actually reaches 45 mph earlier on 11pm advisory, same top winds of 50 mph

Just looked at 18z HWRF, it had no convection this point,pretty far off
Lets see what the 00z run does.

Peak forecast intensity was maintained at 50mph but the ts wind probabilities have come up. That makes sense based upon Fred's improved convection and greater chance of survival and is probably a necessary baby step to increasing intensity estimates in subsequent forecasts (recall they were peaking at 60 or 65mph in prior advisories before Fred stripped naked earlier today).

According to the NHC they have moved the cone a touch east one model shows it slightly leaning more east but general consensus is it continues to move at a slow speed and should stay wnw. Any move more due north now would cause it to interact with the low over SFL which would hinder development.

Still pretty much a ‘blob like’ system, not much organization that I can tell with my amateur eyes.

When I zoom out, all a see is a wave axis...and not an organized one.

While there are some signs shear may be letting up and there is convection firing, I am just not seeing any signs that Fred is becoming better organized...that said it seems like as soon as I post something, the storm will do the opposite.

Not expecting.much out of this here in the Keys but still a bit uneasy that this will have at least 36 hours over hot water and potentially less hostile environment. Really hoping we are not in for a surprise Saturday morning.

What a classic example of what happens to a storm if it has to cross Domican/Haitian land mass and high mountains few if any ever survive it.

The convection south of eastern Cuba is looking interesting this morning. I saw a spin at sunset last evening moving off that tip of Haiti toward the west, just thought it was some vort that would die.

While I don’t expect much from Fred in terms of wind in Miami Dade and Broward, I have been watching the rainfall total prediction slowly creeping up and over more of the urban South East Fl area. 5-7 inches over Urban SFL would be a mess
