The National Hurricane Center says weather conditions in southern Florida have begun to deteriorate on Tuesday (7/6) as Tropical Storm Elsa moves toward the Florida Keys. It has not dampened people's spirits in Key West where people gathered to take pictues at the southernmost point in the continental U. S.
Elsa's top winds stood at 60 miles per hour, and a hurricane watch is in effect Tuesday (7/6) for parts of Florida's Gulf coast.
It's complicating the search effort at the collapsed condo in Surfside, and could be near hurricane strength before it makes landfall somewhere between Tampa Bay and the Big Bend.
Forecasters also warn that it could push a storm surge of water into Tampa Bay neighborhoods.
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has expanded a state of emergency to cover a dozen counties.
Tampa International Airport plans to shut down Tuesday (7/6) at 5 p.m.
