Tropical Storm Hermine has taken a long, slow path to its current location in the Gulf of Mexico, and Florida's already seen flooding and cloudy skies because of it.
The storm is currently idling in the Gulf of Mexico, but it won't sit still for long.
Hermine will soon take a turn to the northeast and head toward northern Florida.
Forecasters think it'll strengthen as it moves closer to Florida and eventually make landfall as a Tropical Storm late Thursday night into early Friday morning.
