Four systems in the tropical Atlantic basin were being monitored by the National Hurricane Center, but none of them are likely to be a threat to Florida in the next five to seven days.

Tropical Storm Fred was gradually gaining strength and slowing down as it approached the Florida Panhandle Monday morning, with landfall expected near Panama City Monday afternoon.

Tropical Depression Fred is expected to regain tropical storm strength by the time it approaches Southwest Florida Friday night, and a Tropical Storm Watch over the Keys and Straits of Florida has been upgraded to a Tropical Storm Warning.

Wind and surge impacts could vary greatly in some places depending on Fred's track, but the greatest hazard to most Floridians will be heavy rain and potential flooding.

The storm has the potential to affect a large portion of Florida this weekend with heavy rain and high winds, although the magnitude, location and timing of those impacts are still uncertain.
