Meteorologist Alexandra Cranford has the forecast at noon Wednesday, August 11, 2021.
Tropical Storm Fred continues swirling in the extreme northeast Caribbean Sea. As of midday Wednesday, it was still a low-end tropical storm with the center just south of the Dominican Republic.
It will soon cross over the mountainous terrain of the Dominican Republic and Haiti. The interaction with land plus dry air and wind shear should knock it back to a tropical depression late Wednesday and Thursday.
