Visit Zoo Miami’s website for the latest information on its reopening. The zoo is expected to reopen Sunday. Zoo Miami’s Ron Magill said the zoo needs to be closed to visitors so that staff members “can properly prepare the facility for the impending weather.”

The effects on the Tampa Bay area from the system are likely going to be minimal, forecasters say.

The weather service says the highest chance of rain will come Saturday, where it’s been pegged at 70 percent for Tampa Bay with a chance of thunderstorms. While it’s possible the storm’s track could shift north to make landfall within Tampa Bay or closer to it, Flannery says the shift wouldn’t change much for this weekend’s outlook locally. “There’s always a chance for deviation but the reality is, this is just a weak system,” Flannery said. Watches also were issued for southeast Florida, portions of Cuba and the northwestern Bahamas. The chance of rain Friday night will be 60 percent, while Sunday morning has a 40 percent chance. Maximum sustained winds were at 35 mph.

The warning covers Miami, West Palm Beach and Fort Lauderdale, among other areas.

“Heavy rains will begin to affect South Florida and the Keys Friday and continue through Saturday,” the Hurricane Center said in an online post. As a Pacific storm, Hurricane Agatha caused flooding and mudslides that killed at least 11 people and left 20 missing in Mexico, officials said. But local flooding is likely and winds could be somewhat strong. A system becomes a tropical storm when winds reach 39 mph (62 kph). The National Hurricane Center predicts that rainfall up to 10 inches (25 centimeters) is possible in South Florida, including the Florida Keys. The storm is not expected to produce huge winds or major storm surge. The National Hurricane Center in Miami said the storm once known as Agatha in the Pacific Ocean will be known as Alex in the Atlantic Ocean basin.
