Tropical storm warnings have been hoisted across the entirety of South Florida ahead of what meteorologists will probably soon name Tropical Storm Alex.
Tropical storm warnings are in effect for the Florida Keys and most of the state south of a line from Tampa Bay to Port Canaveral, including Lake Okeechobee and the mouth of the Caloosahatchee River. The northwestern Bahamas and western Cuba are also under a tropical storm warning, while the Cuban provinces of Matanzas and the Isle of Youth are under a tropical storm watch.
Most of the precipitation will precede the actual storm’s center, for which reason focusing on the system’s impacts, rather than the location of the storm center, is more prudent.Rain began in South Florida early Friday. That will gradually increase in intensity through early Saturday morning, when the heaviest rain bands, within which rainfall rates could approach a blinding 3 inches per hour, should rotate ashore.
