![]() 12:23 05Sep2003 RTRS-Tropical Storm Henri to hit Florida Friday night - Tropical Storm Henri will hit the central Florida Gulf Coast late tonight, bringing wind and rain that could cause some areas to flood, the National Hurricane Center said Friday. The tropical storm is moving toward the east at 7 miles per hour with maximum sustained winds near 40 mph, the Miami-based NHC said. The storm, which is located about 115 miles west of St. Petersburg, Florida, is not expected to hit the oil and gas fields in the Gulf of Mexico, according to the Center's three- and five-day forecasts. Rain is currently confined to the Central Florida Gulf Coast, but is expected to spread inland. Up to 8 inches may accumulate over the next day or two across portions of central and north Florida, which may result in flooding since the area has already been soaked by one of the wettest summers in years. There is also a risk of isolated tornadoes later today in central and north Florida. The NHC said it will issue an intermediate advisory on Henri at 8 a.m. EDT (1200 GMT) followed by the next complete advisory at 11 a.m. Position: Lat. 27.7 degrees North Long. 84.6 degrees West (About 115 miles west of St. Petersburg, Florida) Track: Moving east at 7 miles per hour and a turn toward the northeast is expected during the next 24 hours Strength: 40 mph maximum with higher gusts.
