.STORM INFORMATION...
AT 11 AM EDT...THE CENTER OF TROPICAL DEPRESSION SIXTEEN WAS
LOCATED NEAR LATITUDE 20.6N...LONGITUDE 82.5W. THIS WAS ABOUT
390 MILES SOUTH-SOUTHWEST OF MIAMI FL...OR ABOUT 380 MILES SOUTH
OF NAPLES FL. STORM MOTION WAS NORTH-NORTHEAST AT 10 MPH. MAXIMUM
SUSTAINED WINDS WERE 35 MPH.

.SITUATION OVERVIEW...
THE PRIMARY IMPACTS WITH THIS SYSTEM ARE EXPECTED TO BE RAINFALL
FLOODING AND TROPICAL STORM FORCE WINDS. ON THE CURRENT FORECAST
TRACK AND INTENSITY, HEAVY RAINS WILL SPREAD ACROSS SOUTH FLORIDA
TONIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY, WITH TROPICAL STORM FORCE WINDS DURING
THE DAY ON WEDNESDAY. DUE TO THE RATHER DISORGANIZED NATURE OF THE

EAST SIDE. THIS MEANS THAT ONLY A SLIGHT SHIFT EAST OF THE CURRENT
FORECAST TRACK WILL RESULT IN THE HEAVIEST RAIN AND STRONGEST WINDS
REMAINING OFFSHORE. NEVERTHELESS, SOUTH FLORIDIANS SHOULD PREPARE
FOR THE POTENTIAL OF SIGNIFICANT FLOODING TONIGHT AND WEDNESDAY,
ALONG WITH THE POSSIBILITY OF SUSTAINED TROPICAL STORM FORCE WINDS
DURING THE DAY ON WEDNESDAY.
