In the tropics, Tropical Storm Nestor is gradually losing its tropical characteristics as it lashes the Florida Gulf coast. At 5 am Saturday, Nestor was located near 29.0 North, 86.0 West, about 85 miles south-southwest of Panama City, Florida. Maximum sustained winds were 50 miles per hour. Nestor was moving northeast at 17 miles per hour. Tropical storm warnings remain in place for most of the Florida panhandle and the Big Bend region. Up to 5 feet of storm surge is expected in the BIg Bend, and up to 3 feet of storm surge is possible at coastal locations as far south as Clearwater Beach. The worst of Nestor’s weather is displaced well to the east of the storm center, so stormy conditions — including periods of heavy rain, gusty winds, and possibly a few tornadoes — can be expected for virtually all of the Florida peninsula on Saturday.
