There is a Tropical Storm Watch for the Florida Keys and Florida Bay has been upgraded to a Tropical Storm Warning.
Currently South Florida is under a flash flood advisory. Between today and Monday, up to six inches of rain could fall from the Keys to the Big Bend, and most of the rain is expected tomorrow.
