Tropical Storm Elsa now a hurricane

Tropical Storm Elsa is now the first hurricane of the season. There is a risk that Florida may face coastal flooding, winds, and rain by early next week. However, this prediction may change depending on how Elsa is impacted during its movement through the Greater Antilles Islands.
