The Tropics

We are continuing to closely monitor Fred and Grace.

Fred re-gained tropical storm status this morning. Tropical Storm Fred will likely make landfall over the Florida Panhandle on Monday with winds of 60mph.

South of Puerto Rico, we have poorly organized Tropical Depression Grace. Land interaction with Hispaniola and Cuba will limit intensification in the short term. By late week, Grace is expected to enter the southern Gulf of Mexico. There, environmental conditions may become more favorable for strengthening. Big take away -- Land interaction will likely result in changes in the path and intensity of Grace over the next few days, so now is just the time to pay attention and stay tuned for updates.
