Trio of tropical storms brings heavy rains and winds to the Southeast and Caribbean; about 14M people are under flood alerts stretching from northern Georgia up through southwest Virginia.
A trio of tropical storms were bringing heavy rains and winds on Tuesday to the Southeast and Caribbean.
While still holding on to tropical depression status, it was forecast to weaken through Tuesday as it moved through the Southeast and into the Mid-Atlantic. The greatest risk associated with Fred will be heavy rainfall and flash flooding. On Wednesday, the isolated tornado threat will shift into portions of the Mid-Atlantic and interior Northeast, and include Washington, Baltimore and Philadelphia.
Gradual strengthening is forecast during the next couple of days when Grace could be near hurricane strength as it approaches Mexico. Beyond that, Grace is expected to maintain tropical storm strength as it makes landfall on Mexico on Saturday.
