Fred's tropical depression continues to hit Cuba with torrential rains and is expected to land in the Florida Keys, Florida today, Aug. 14. Writes about it USA Today.

Meanwhile, another tropical storm, Grace, is approaching the Caribbean.

A tropical storm warning was issued as Fred approached the Florida Keys and Florida Bay. This means that tropical storm conditions are expected somewhere within the 36 hour warning zone.

"Two landfalls are likely in the U.S., one in the Florida Keys early Saturday and a second possible over northern Florida early next week," AccuWeather meteorologist Bernie Rayno said.

In addition to tropical storm warnings in the Florida Keys, there were tropical storm announcements on the peninsula from Englewood to Ocean Reef.

The National Hurricane Center (NHC) has reported that 16 to 3 inches (7-7,6 cm) rainfall is expected by Monday, August 17,7 across the Florida Keys, with possible highs of 10 inches (25 cm). The National Weather Service in Miami has published flood observations for all of South Florida due to expected heavy rains.

The Hurricane Center warned that "heavy rainfall, gusty winds and the likelihood of a tornado will spread far northeast, and these hazards may continue to affect parts of Florida."

As of 05:00 ET on Saturday August 14, Fred was approximately 90 miles (144 km) south of Key West with a maximum wind speed of 35 miles (56 km) per hour. It was moving westward at 13 miles (20 km) per hour.

Fred is expected to regain the strength of the tropical storm in the warm waters of the strait before reaching the Florida Keys as a tropical storm at 40 miles (64 km) per hour, forecasters said.

After spending a short time as a tropical storm earlier this week, Fred again weakened to a depression due to his exits to Haiti and the Dominican Republic, where he cut off electricity for about 400 customers and caused a flood that forced officials to close some of the country's aqueducts.

Local authorities said hundreds of people were evacuated and some buildings were damaged. There have been no reports of casualties yet.

Fred was the sixth storm in the Atlantic hurricane season.
