The US state of Florida is preparing for what could be another hit from Tropical Storm Fay.
Weather forecasters are predicting that the storm could strengthen today, as it moves over the Atlantic Ocean.
They also said it could linger until Thursday, possibly reaching hurricane strength.
A hurricane watch has been posted for parts of north Florida and Georgia.
The Miami-based National Hurricane Centre said Fay is expected to produce between five and 10 inches of rainfall over east and northeastern Florida, and up to five inches in the northwestern Bahamas.
