In the busy tropics, Fred degenerated into an open wave but is redeveloping on Sunday and is expected to regain tropical storm strength. At 5 am, Fred was located near 24.4 North, 84.6 West, about 425 south-southeast of Pensacola. Maximum sustained winds were 40 miles per hour (but there was not a closed circulation yet). Fred was moving north-northwest at 8 miles per hour. A tropical storm watch is in effect for portions of the Florida panhandle. Fred is forecast to reach the northern Gulf coast very early on Tuesday morning.
To the east, Tropical Storm Grace was disorganized early Sunday — but we’ll need to watch it closely. At 5 am, Grace was located near 16.9 North, 64.4 West, about 150 miles southeast of San Juan, Puerto Rico. Maximum sustained winds were 40 miles per hour, and Grace was moving west-northwest at 16 miles per hour. Tropical storm warnings are up for Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, portions of the coast of the Dominican Republic, Sint Maarten, St. Martin and St. Barthelemy, and Saaba and Sint Eustatius, A tropical storm watch is in effect for the Haitian coast and for the northern coast of the Dominican Republic. Grace is expected to follow a track very similar to Fred’s. As with Fred, Grace’s future strength will depend on its interaction with Hispaniola. At 5 am on Sunday, the Florida Keys and the Gulf coast were in the 4-to-5-day “cone,” so we’ll need to keep updated on Grace and be ready to take any necessary actions.
Elsewhere in the overheated tropics, a low about 200 miles north-northeast of Bermuda has a low chance of becoming a depression during the next couple of days. By Tuesday, conditions will be less favorable for development.
