      Two Cones of Uncertainty now aimed on Fla.  First is TS Fred, who continues to strengthen and models moving this system further West with each run.  The second system appears to be a Tropical depression, soon to be Tropical storm Saddie.  Floridians should be in tune with their local NWS office and heed watches and warnings as they are posted.
