2 storms simultaneously threaten landfall as Fred strengthened into a tropical storm on its way to the Gulf Coast and Grace continues to loom over the Caribbean.
The National Hurricane Center upgraded Fred after it regenerated back into a tropical storm over the Gulf of Mexico. The storm is expected to hit Southern Florida, the Bid Bend and the Panhandle. Tropical storm warnings were issued at 11 a.m. Sunday for the northern Gulf Coast.
Parts of the panhandle are also under a storm surge warning for the next 36 hours, as rising water is forecast to move inland from the coastline.
