RAINFALL: The Potential Tropical Cyclone is expected to produce 
heavy rains over the eastern portions of the Yucatan Peninsula, the 
Cayman Islands and western Cuba through Friday.  Heavy rains will 
begin to affect South Florida and the Keys beginning Friday and 
continuing through Saturday. The following storm total rainfall 
amounts are currently expected:

Eastern portions of the Yucatan Peninsula and the Cayman Islands: 2 
to 4 inches, with isolated maxima of 6 inches.

Western Cuba: 6 to 10 inches, with isolated maxima of 14 inches.  
This rain may cause life-threatening flash flooding and mudslides.

South Florida including the Keys:  4 to 8 inches with maxima of 12 
inches.  This rain may produce considerable flash and urban 
flooding.

in Florida Friday night or early Saturday.  Tropical storm 
conditions are possible in the watch area in Cuba on Friday and 
are possible in the watch area in Florida and the northwestern 
Bahamas Friday night and Saturday.

STORM SURGE:  The combination of storm surge and the tide will
cause normally dry areas near the coast to be flooded by
rising waters moving inland from the shoreline.  The water could
reach the following heights above ground somewhere in the indicated
areas if the peak surge occurs at the time of high tide...

Marco Island, FL to Card Sound Bridge...1-3 ft
Middle of Longboat Key, FL to Marco Island, FL...1-2 ft
Charlotte Harbor...1-2 ft
Florida Keys and Dry Tortugas...1-2 ft

Surge-related flooding depends on the relative timing of the surge
and the tidal cycle, and can vary greatly over short distances.  For
information specific to your area, please see products issued by
your local National Weather Service forecast office.

TORNADOES:  Isolated tornadoes are possible over south Florida 
beginning Friday evening through Saturday.
