The National Hurricane Center is advising much of Florida to get ready for the impacts from Tropical Storm Elsa.
"On the forecast track, Elsa will continue to move near or over eastern Cuba this evening, and approach central Cuba tonight and early Monday," according to the Hurricane Center's Public Advisory.
Forecasters say that Elsa is expected to move across Cuba and head toward the Florida Straits on Monday, then pass near the Florida Keys early Tuesday.
"Elsa is then forecast to move near or over portions of the west coast of Florida on Tuesday and Wednesday."
The storm is not expected to become a hurricane again.
"Maximum sustained winds are near 60 mph with higher gusts. Some strengthening is expected before Elsa moves over Cuba, followed by some weakening while the center moves over land."
The Hurricane Center say slight restrengthening is possible after Elsa moves over the southeastern Gulf of Mexico.
