The tropics are unusually quiet for the middle of September. What’s left of Fred is drifting through the Atlantic north of the Caribbean Islands. It is not expected to regenerate, although I have seen one computer model that brings it back just east of Florida late in the weekend.
Elsewhere, there is a persistent area [...]
We’re about a week past the peak of the hurricane season and the tropics are quiet, but there are a few areas that the National Hurricane Center is looking at for development in the next two days. ABC6 Stormtracker Chief Meteorologist Fred Campagna has the latest.
ABC6 Stormtracker Chief Meteorologist Fred Campagna has an update on Hurricane Fred and more on the storm that has lashed the Atlantic coast with wind, rain, and high surf.
ABC6 Stormtracker Chief Meteorologist Fred Campagna has an update on his namesake and that intense storm sitting off the Mid-Atlantic coast. The storm to our south, although non-tropical, will have similar impacts to a tropical storm along the coast.
September 10 marks the climatological peak of the hurricane season. Even though this season started out slowly, we have now seen roughly the normal amount of storms develop:

2 Major Hurricanes
Average Year (through Sept. 10)
5 Named Storms

Hurricane Fred achieved major status with winds of 120 mph earlier today, but the storm is still thousands of miles from land and has begun to turn to the north into a graveyard for tropical systems.
The storm was only the second hurricane of the season. A low number, especially considering that tomorrow is the peak [...]
Hurricane Fred up to 105 mph but it is more than 3500 miles away from us here in New England. The storm should stay well out in the Atlantic with no threat to any land areas. The rest of the tropics remain quiet for now.
Tropical Storm Fred, although strengthening, is not a threat to land. The odds of this storm ever becoming a threat are very low. The storm is 3500 miles from Providence. It is in the far Eastern Atlantic. The storm has strengthened to 70 mph today. It is moving W at 13 mph.
The forecast is for [...]
The low pressure area associated with former Tropical Storm Erika could bring some heavy rains to the Puerto Rico area and the Dominican Republic. It may try to come to life again next week east of the Bahamas. Stay tuned!
Erika has weakened to a tropical depression. Does this mean the storm is nearing the bitter end? Not necessarily says ABC6 Stormtracker Chief Meteorologist Fred Campagna.
