Tropical Storm Grace was the eighth named storm of the 1997 Atlantic hurricane season. Grace was also the final storm to form in the inactive hurricane season of 1997. Grace formed near Puerto Rico on October 16, then moved east-northeast, and dissipated on October 17. Grace caused no deaths, and no reported damage, although it may have caused some moderate damage, since the precursor disturbance dumped as much as 12.69 inches of rain in Aibonito, Puerto Rico.
