11am: Tropical Storm Emily Update

As of 11am, Tropical Storm Emily is on the move! Winds are sustained at 50 mph and is now moving on a W/NW track at 5 mph positioned just to the south of Haiti. As Emily crosses over some rugged terrain of Hispaniola and eastern Cuba, weakening is possible. Once it moves back over warmer waters, it is expected to reintensify as it moves closer to the Bahamas by late Friday and into early Saturday morning just off the east coast of Florida. The eastern portions of Glades and Hendry counties are right on the western fringe of the cone of uncertainty, and with the "exact" path of Emily still a bit uncertain, this system still needs to be closely monitored. Next advisory from the National Hurricane Center will be out at 2pm.
