Gov. Scott: Floridians Should Remain Vigilant Regarding Tropical Depression Eighteen
NAPLES, Fla. - Today, Governor Rick Scott urged Floridians to remain vigilant regarding Tropical Depression Eighteen and stay alert for potential flooding, heavy rain and tornadoes throughout the weekend. The Governor received a weather briefing from the Florida Division of Emergency Management this afternoon and the state will continue to monitor any potential impacts.
Governor Scott said, "As we do with every storm, Floridians must remain vigilant and be prepared right now for any potential impacts from Tropical Depression Eighteen. It is critical that families pay attention to weather alerts, especially to local watches and warnings. Updates will be available at @FLSERT on Twitter and families can visit FioridaDisaster.org for information on how to get an emergency preparedness plan. The state has been closely monitoring the development of this storm and remains in contact with local emergency management leaders. While there are currently no unmet needs, we will continue to actively monitor Tropical Depression Eighteen throughout the night and do all we can to keep families safe."
As a result of Tropical Depression Eighteen, South Florida, including the Keys, can expect two to four inches of rain, with maximum totals of six inches through Sunday morning, that could also produce localized flash flooding. Tropical storm force wind conditions are possible across the upper Florida Keys and southeast Florida overnight. Brief, isolated tornadoes are also possible across southeastern Florida and the Florida Keys this afternoon and evening. A tropical storm watch is currently in effect from Craig Key to Golden Beach.
