At 1100 AM AST (1500 UTC), the center of Hurricane Fred was located

later today.
Maximum sustained winds have incresed to near 85 mph (140 km/h)

Gradual weakening is forecast to begin on Tuesday.
Hurricane force winds extend outward up to 15 miles (30 km) from the

HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND

WIND: Tropical storm conditions are expected to continue spreading
across the northern Cape Verde Islands today. Hurricane conditions
are occurring over portions of the northeastern Cape Verde Islands
and are expected to spread northwestward over portions of the
northern and northwestern Cape Verde Islands through tonight.
Wind speeds atop and on the windward sides of hills and mountains
are often up to 30 percent stronger than indicated in this advisory,
and in some elevated locations can be even greater.
STORM SURGE: A storm surge is expected to produce coastal flooding
in areas of onshore winds in the Cape Verde Islands. Near the
coast, the surge will be accompanied by large and dangerous waves.
RAINFALL: Fred is expected to produce total rain accumulations of
4 to 6 inches over the Cape Verde Islands, with possible isolated
maximum amounts of 10 inches. These rains could produce life-
threatening flash flooding and mudslides.
