A tropical storm warning is in effect as Andrea makes its way toward the First Coast.
Andrea's maximum sustained winds increased to near 60 mph early this morning.
This storm system is expected to dump as much as 6-inches of rain on Northeast Florida.
Winds are also expected to pick up across the First Coast as heavier bands of showers move through the area.
Forecasters say wind gusts of 35-to-45 miles per hour are possible.
Storm tides are expected to be 1-to-2 feet above normal.
But there is a bit of good news this morning, according to National Weather Service meteorologist Zaaron Allen.
"Anticipate Andrea will remain a tropical storm and not intensify to a hurricane at this point."
Tropical Storm Andrea is currently centered about 220-miles west-southwest of Tampa and moving north-northeast at around 13 mph.
