Tropical Depression Grace no longer appears to be a threat to Florida, while potential tropical storm Henri will pass south of Bermuda during the next few days.

Tropical Storm Fred made landfall in Cape San Blas in the Florida Panhandle, and that area could receive up to a foot of rain. The greater Tampa Bay region could experience rain bands and dangerous rip currents.

Tropical Storm Fred was gradually gaining strength and slowing down as it approached the Florida Panhandle Monday morning, with landfall expected near Panama City Monday afternoon.

Tropical Storm and Storm Surge Warnings are now in effect for a large portion of the Florida Panhandle and Big Bend as Fred moves toward the north-northwest.

Tropical Depression Fred is expected to regain tropical storm strength by the time it approaches Southwest Florida Friday night, and a Tropical Storm Watch over the Keys and Straits of Florida has been upgraded to a Tropical Storm Warning.

Wind and surge impacts could vary greatly in some places depending on Fred's track, but the greatest hazard to most Floridians will be heavy rain and potential flooding.

Potential Tropical Cyclone Six is close to becoming the season's sixth named tropical storm in the Caribbean, and may cause direct effects over a portion of Florida over the upcoming weekend.

Potential Tropical Cyclone Six will be approaching Puerto Rico Tuesday, then the Florida Straits by week's end.

A largely quiet tropical Atlantic over the past three weeks may soon change in response to changes in the atmosphere over the global tropics.

Flooding is ongoing in several counties along Florida's Nature Coast, where more rounds of heavy rain are expected through Thursday evening.
