In reading the lastest advisory it says tropical force winds extend out 205 miles. If this storm goes across the tip of the Yucatan or between it and Cuba. Wouldn't the Florida Keys feel tropical force winds?




If it goes across thetip of Cuba, or through the Yucatan Channel, it will be a close call, but on the current forecast track, the closest T.S. force winds would get is the centerline across Cuba longwise.
