LAKE MARY, Fla. - The FOX 35 Storm Team is tracking lots of activity in the tropics.

TROPICAL STORM GRACE

Tropical Storm Grace could have Florida in its sights, but forecasters say there's a lot of uncertainty right now.

The National Hurricane Center (NHC) said in its 11 p.m. update on Saturday that Grace is poorly organized but could get more organized in the coming days.

The NHC said Grace is moving a little slower west-northwest at 20 mph with maximum sustained winds of 40 mph.

The NHC said Grace's track shifted south away from the Florida peninsula on Saturday, taking much of Central Florida out of the direct impact zone.

Forecasters said heavy rainfall from Grace across the Lesser and Greater Antilles will be a concern in the coming days.

REMNANTS OF FRED

As for Fred, forecasters are calling it the "Remnants of Fred."

Hurricane hunters flew into the system on Saturday evening to investigate if there is a center of circulation.

Right now, the system is moving west-northwest at 9 mph, with maximum sustained winds of 35 mph.

Fred is currently moving into the Gulf of Mexico in a disorganized circulation.

The NHC said Fred could reform into a tropical storm in the Gulf of Mexico on Sunday.

Forecasters said Fred's landfall location continues to push further and further west to possibly the panhandle area.

NEW LOW-PRESSURE SYSTEM

FOX 35 Storm Team Meteorologist Allison Gargaro said Saturday that a new low-pressure system formed in the Atlantic.

She said it has a 20% chance of development in two days and a 30% chance of development in the next five days.

The new low-pressure system developed more than 200 miles north-northeast of Bermuda, according to the NHC.

Forecasters say some gradual development is possible over this weekend into early next week as the system drifts slowly southward near Bermuda over the next few days.
