The latest weather report has upgraded SWFL to a Tropical Storm Warning for today into Saturday.  Southwest Florida is expected to see what is currently known as ONE, and potential named storm Alex make landfall.

The concern is not necessarily the wind at this point, but rather the amount of rain and the flooding that could come along with it. Here’s the flood statement from Collier County. Current radar here.

  Overnight look at our very sloppy system. Center is marked with all convection way to the east. Every burst builds and gets pushed away. Lots of juice inching closer to Florida for tomorrow. Some storms to watch in these squalls. https://t.co/Hk3pbO7x8H pic.twitter.com/qs7gNQMuDR
