MIAMI — Tropical Storm Arlene weakened to a tropical depression Saturday morning as its maximum sustained winds dipped from 40 mph to 35 mph. The Miami weather service issued a flood watch Wednesday for South Florida that remained in effect through Saturday night. The National Hurricane Center's 11 a.m. Saturday advisory had Arlene moving south-southeast near 7 mph about 145 miles west-southwest of the Dry Tortugas and on a track toward Cuba. The depression should turn east Saturday night and scrape under the Florida Keys' coast.
