1:04Now PlayingTropical Storm Fred has been downgraded to a tropical depression but will likely gain strength before it starts to drench southern Florida on Friday.
The storm was about 230 miles (370 kilometers) east of Camaguey, Cuba, at 11 a.m. local time, with sustained winds of 35 miles per hour, according to the National Hurricane Center. From Friday through Monday, parts of Florida and the Southeast may get as much as 8 inches (20 centimeters) of rain, potentially triggering floods in the area.
The sixth named Atlantic storm of the year will probably strengthen as it passes over warm ocean waters. It would be upgraded again to a tropical storm if the wind speeds increase to 39 miles per hour. While it’s unlikely to become strong enough to reach hurricane status, Fred will definitely dump rain on Florida, according to Anthony Chipriano, a senior meteorologist with Maxar.
“It will be a decent soaker,” he said. “It will impact all of Florida.”
