As Fred downgraded to a tropical depression after making landfall in Florida Monday, Grace upgraded into a tropical storm, and Tropical Depression Eight turned into Tropical Storm Henri. The video above shows Tropical Depression Fred wind and rain hitting Cape San Blas, Florida, as well as Tropical Storm Grace moving through Les Cayes, Haiti.
According to the National Hurricane Center, as of 11:00 a.m. EST, Fred was located about 30 miles southwest of Atlanta and moving towards Atlanta at about 17 mph.
Flood watches were in effect for parts of north Georgia, the western Carolinas, eastern Tennessee and Kentucky. Parts of Georgia and the Southern Appalachians could see up to 10 inches of rain by the end of Tuesday. By the end of the workweek, the Central Appalachians (including parts of Mid-Atlantic and Northeast states) could see up to six inches of rain.
Meanwhile, Grace was last located 75 miles east of Montego Bay, Jamaica. This comes after the storm moved through Haiti late Monday, temporarily stopping the Haitian government’s response to a 7.2 magnitude earthquake that hit over the weekend.
Officials had warned some parts of the country could get 15 inches of rain before the storm moved on.
Looking ahead, the impacts from Grace are expected to be felt most in Mexico. A hurricane watch was in place for the Yucatan Peninsula from Cabo Catoche to Punta Allen. However, some effects could be felt in Texas to the north, and parts of Central America to the south.
Recently-named Tropical Storm Henri continued moving around Bermuda Tuesday. As of 11:00 a.m. EST, it was located 135 miles south-southeast of Bermuda, which was under a tropical storm watch at the time.
Although Henri was not expected to make landfall in the United States, much of the East Coast could see impacts from Henri as early as Thursday and into the weekend.
