A hurricane watch and warnings of storm surges up to 15 feet high were issued Tuesday for almost all of Florida's western coastline as a potential tropical storm moves across the Caribbean Sea and towards the Gulf Coast. Currently called Potential Tropical Cyclone Nine, the storm is forecast to strengthen into a hurricane Wednesday and authorities are urging people to prepare and exercise caution.
Potential Tropical Cyclone Nine is forecast to produce four to eight inches of rain over western Cuba and the Cayman Islands, with isolated totals around 12 inches. In the southeastern U.S., it’s forecast to produce three to six inches of rain with isolated totals around 10 inches, and will likely result in local flash and urban flooding. It’s also forecast to bring storm surge and strong tide, leading to flooding by rising waters moving inland from the shoreline, the NHC said. Florida Gov.
