Florida, Bahamas and Cuba braced for tropical storm
Florida, the Bahamas and Cuba are braced for heavy downpours and gusty thunderstorms today as a developing tropical storm swirls around the region.
Tropical Depression Nine is currently near the Florida Keys, the southern part of the Florida Peninsula, the western Bahamas and central and western Cuba, where there is a risk it could trigger mudslides.
Visitors have been advised to track its progress and see what preparations are needed if it develops into a full-blown tropical storm, according to Accuweather.
It said drenching thunderstorms would gradually spread northward across the Florida Peninsula during the middle and latter part of the week, threatening to cause localised flash flooding.
The heaviest storms could bring damaging wind gusts, power cuts and rough seas, as well as the potential for a couple of tornadoes.
