Forecasters say a tropical depression over Cuba is growing better organized and is likely to bring drenching rain and coastal flooding to much of Florida’s Gulf Coast.
Saturday will be San Antonio’s first 100° day in nearly a month, with a small chance for weekend rainCopyright 2024 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.
The National Hurricane Center in Miami forecasts that the depression will strengthen as it curves northward off the southwest Florida coast, where the water has been extremely warm, with temperatures approaching 92 degrees Fahrenheit this week. Flat Florida is prone to flooding even on sunny days when so-called king tides surge in coastal areas. This storm is predicted to push up storm tides of 2 to 4 feet along most of Florida's Gulf Coast, including Tampa Bay, with a higher tide of 3 to 5 feet predicted farther north in Florida's sparsely populated Big Bend region, where the Florida peninsula bends westward into the state's Panhandle region.
People in some Florida cities on Friday filled sandbags to protect against possible flooding. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis declared a state of emergency for most Florida counties, extending from the Florida Keys up through Central Florida and the Tampa Bay region and into the western Panhandle.
