Florida, Bahamas and Cuba braced for tropical storm
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.
The UK Foreign Office said visitors should ‘check weather reports and follow the advice of local authorities, including if ordered to evacuate’.
Accuweather 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.
