Tropical Storm Emily Inland Over West Central Florida
Tropical Storm Emily Inland Over West Central Florida
Tropical Storm Emily has now moved inland over West Central Florida with top winds of 40 mph. Heavy rains are the primary threat and notice on the radar that the rain remains east and south of the circulation center and has weakened somewhat in coverage and intensity in the last few hours. As fast as Emily developed overnight it will weaken to a tropical depression in short order before emerging on the Atlantic side on Tuesday. This is not a threat to our area or anywhere close as Tropical Storm Emily will track northeastward offshore with little consequence.
For Florida some areas could receive up to 8 inches of rain over the next 24 to 36 hours as the storm center tracks across the state.
