TORNADOES: A couple of tornadoes are possible today across eastern

WIND: Strong wind gusts continue to pose a threat across the

powerlines may occur, with the risk highest in elevated terrain.

Gulf coasts of the United States, Mexico, and western Cuba this

rip current conditions. Please consult products from your local
weather office.
