In the Tropics:

There are currently three active storms Fred, Grace, and Henri. The forecast in south Louisiana will not be affected by any of these systems.

Tropical Depression Fred is moving through Georgia this morning as is expected to bring heavy rains through a large portion of the southeast United States.

In the southern Caribbean, Grace is expected to travel south of Cuba and make a landfall on the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico before reemerging in the southern Gulf. Then, it is expected to drift into the east coast of Mexico and remain south of coastal Texas. Click here to see the latest forecast cone.
