MIAMI (CBS4) ― Fred has been stripped of its tropical storm status and downgraded to just a poorly organized mass of bad weather moving through the mid-Atlantic, and forecasters at the National Hurricane Center say it's nothing more than a low-pressure area.

The National Hurricane Center in Miami said Saturday that Fred's maximum sustained winds had dropped to near 35 mph and the storm is nearly stationary. It's the last advisory because the NHC said it is not expected to pose a significant threat to anyone.

As of 5 p.m. Saturday, Fred was centered about 650 miles west of the Cape Verde Islands. The storm is expected to continue to weaken during the next two days and could become a remnant low by Saturday night. Fred does not pose a threat to any land area.

Fred is the strongest hurricane recorded so far south and east in the data records maintained by the National Hurricane Center. The Hurricane Center noted that it would have been very difficult to accurately observe a storm like Fred before satellite pictures began in the 1960s.
