Tropical storm likely to kick up wind, seas Saturday

MIAMI -- Tropical Storm Noel is going to mean more rain and wind for South Florida today.

Southern New England could feel some impact from the storm starting Saturday with high seas and gales across outer coastal waters, according to the weather service.

The Atlantic storm season's 14th named storm is blamed in more than 80 deaths in its march through the Caribbean, most of them on the island shared by Haiti and the Dominican Republic.

The National Hurricane Center in Miami says Noel is heading toward the northwestern Bahamas this morning with top winds of nearly 60 miles an hour. It's expected to turn northeast away from Florida, although the southeast coast is being buffeted by strong winds and high surf. A tropical storm watch remains in effect, and forecasters say an already soggy South Florida could get another two inches of rain.
