RICHMOND, Va. Elsa briefly became a hurricane Tuesday morning while off the west coast of Florida. It weakened to a tropical storm before making landfall around 11 a.m. on the Gulf Coast side of northern Florida, about 65 miles north-northwest of Cedar Key, Florida. Winds were around 65 mph.
The center of Elsa will track up through the Carolinas early Thursday, then move across southeastern Virginia in the afternoon and early evening. The storm will be northeast of our area by late evening.
Elsa will be a tropical depression as it moves through our area. There is a slight chance it may regain tropical storm strength as it get closer to the coast and moves away from our region.

After losing some of its punch, Tropical Storm Elsa headed toward the coasts of Georgia and South Carolina on Wednesday afternoon, less fearsome than before but still packing enough of a wallop to do some damage.
Elsa s maximum sustained winds had diminished from 65 mph to 45 mph as it traveled across Florida, the National Hurricane Center said in its 5 p.m. EDT update. From its location about 115 miles west-southwest of Brunswick, Georgia, the storm was expected to follow a steady path north and have an impact all the way up the Eastern Seaboard the rest of the week.
