Tropical Storm Katrina heads for Florida

Tropical Storm Katrina formed today in the Bahamas and could reach hurricane strength before hitting the coast of Florida later this week. As of 11 am, winds were 40 mph, and the storm was moving north-northwest at 8 mph.

Florida's east coast from Vero Beach to Florida City is under a hurricane watch, for possible hurricane conditions by Friday. The storm is expected to slowly cross the state and could cause flooding as it dumps a foot of rain or more in spots before heading into the Gulf of Mexico.
