Tropical storm Laura is forecast to strengthen into a hurricane by early Tuesday, the US National Hurricane Center (NHC) said in its latest advisory.
The system is located about 255 miles (415 km) east south-east the Isle of Youth, Cuba, with maximum sustained winds of 65 miles per hour (100 km/h), NHC said on Monday.
"Tropical storm warning has been issued for the middle and lower Florida Keys," the Miami-based weather forecaster added.
