ORLANDO, Fla. — Fred has redeveloped into a tropical storm as it moves over the southeastern Gulf of Mexico and could bring potentially life-threatening storm surge conditions to parts of the Florida Panhandle, the National Hurricane Center said Sunday morning.
At the 11 a.m. EDT advisory, a storm surge warning was issued for the coast of the Florida Panhandle from Indian Pass to Steinhatchee River.
“This is a life-threatening situation,” forecasters said in the new advisory. “Persons located within these areas should take all necessary actions to protect life and property from rising water and the potential for other dangerous conditions.”
