central portions of the Florida Peninsula on Saturday, and then over 
the southwestern Atlantic north of the northwestern Bahamas Saturday 
afternoon through Sunday.

Maximum sustained winds are near 40 mph (65 km/h) with higher
gusts. The system is expected to develop a well-defined center and
become a tropical storm later today, and some slight strengthening
is possible while it approaches Florida today and tonight.
Additional strengthening is possible after the system moves east of
Florida over the western Atlantic late Saturday and Sunday.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...high...90 percent.

to affect Central Florida, South Florida and the Keys today through
Saturday, and affect northwestern Bahamas tonight through Saturday.
The following storm total rainfall amounts are expected:

WIND:  Tropical storm conditions are expected in the warning area
in Cuba today and tonight, in Florida tonight and on Saturday, and
in the northwestern Bahamas on Saturday.  Tropical storm conditions
are possible in the watch area in Cuba today and tonight.

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

Florida Keys and Dry Tortugas...1-2 ft
Card Sound Bridge to North Miami Beach, FL including Biscayne
Bay...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
