This National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) satellite image taken at 11:50 UTC on July 7, 2021 shows Tropical Storm Elsa located about 70 miles (115 kilometers) northwest of Tampa, Florida with maximum sustained winds near 65 mph (100 km/h), the NHC said in a public advisory at 5 am. - As it moved toward Florida's Gulf Coast early July 7, 2021, Elsa weakened to a tropical storm, though it still barreled inland with gusty winds and heavy rains, the US National Hurricane Center said. While some fluctuations in intensity remain possible until landfall later Wednesday morning, the hurricane warning for much of the state's west coast has been replaced with a tropical storm warning, the NHC said.
