Tropical Depression Grace is threatening to dump up to 15 inches of rain on Haiti days after a 7.2 earthquake that killed nearly 1,300 people. And Tropical Storm Fred is strengthening off the northwest Florida coast.
Tropical Storm Fred was strengthening off the northwest Florida coast, where forecasters said it could make landfall by Monday evening.
The U.S. National Hurricane Center said Fred’s main threats are rainfall — anywhere from 4 to 8 inches for Florida’s Big Bend and Panhandle — and storm surge. High water between 3 to 5 feet could enter the area between Indian Pass and the Steinhatchee River, depending on the tide at the time of Fred’s arrival.
Meanwhile, the season’s eighth tropical depression formed late Sunday near Bermuda, and the hurricane center predicted it would become a tropical storm sometime Monday as it circles around the island, about 120 miles offshore. A tropical storm watch was in effect for the island as the system’s top winds grew to around 35 mph .
