DAVID MUIR (ABC NEWS) (Off-camera) Let's get right to Ginger Zee with more on what you just mentioned, Trevor. She's tracking the much-needed rain coming and the real threat also we're watching in the west tonight. But first, the rain, Ginger. When does it get here? [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

MICHAEL STRAHAN (ABC NEWS) (Off-camera) Hey, Ginger. Let's go to Ginger. (Off-camera) Hey there, Michael. I wanted to show you first that category 2 hurricane that will make landfall today in Cuba. Will be intensifying. It's moving pretty fast northwest at about 14 miles per hour. There are hurricane warnings not just there but tropical storm warnings for Key West. So the western Keys, watch for some of the outer bands. It then stalls into the gulf through the weekend early next week. It's really running out of steam as it approaches the gulf. We'll keep an eye on the coastal states there. But here's what's going to happen today. A few tornadoes could even spin up, not just for the western Keys, but in southwest Florida. So I'd say from Naples all the way along the coast there, watch for that threat. Let's get a check now a little closer to home. GINGER ZEE (ABC NEWS) [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

Also wanted to mention how busy the Gulf has been this season. Look at all of those landfalls, and so one of the busier ones again, I think, except one other, so since 2020.
