       Tropical storm Fred made landfall near Cape San Blas, along the Florida Panhandle, on Monday afternoon with winds near 65 mph.

       One foot of rain is possible in the Florida Panhandle. Fred then is forecast to barrel north through Alabama and Georgia, delivering up to 10 inches of rain.

       The flash flood threat will stretch to Atlanta and could even reach Richmond, Virginia, and Washington, D.C., by Wednesday.

       A forecast track for Fred released on Aug. 16, 2021, predicts landfall around 5 p.m. between Panama City and Pensacola, Fla.

       President Joe Biden warned last week that the hurricane-prone states also are ones with surging COVID-19 cases.

       "Let me be clear. If you're in a state where hurricanes often strike, a vital part of preparing for hurricane season is to get vaccinated now. Everything is more complicated if you're not vaccinated and a hurricane or natural disaster hits. If you wind up having to evacuate, if you wind up having to stay in a shelter, you don't want to add COVID-19 to the list of dangers that you're going to be confronting," Biden said at a briefing alongside Federal Emergency Management Agency officials.

       Henri is expected to circle around Bermuda, where a tropical storm watch is in effect. Henri's only impact on the U.S. could be high waves and rip currents along the East Coast.
