Discussion
A tropical system near the Caribbean island of Hispaniola has intensified enough to be classified as a named storm ("Fred"). It is likely to impact southern Florida by the early part of the weekend and then spill out over the eastern Gulf of Mexico before perhaps reaching the panhandle region of western Florida on its way to the north. Longer term, it is quite possible that the remains of this tropical storm push northward through the eastern states and right along the spine of the Appalachian Mountains bringing rain with it later next week.
