Subtropical Storm Alberto is expected to bring heavy rainfall and flooding to Florida by Sunday morning. Orange County Assistant Emergency Manager Keith Kotch says people should start preparing storm kits now, to avoid driving where there’s been ponding.

The normal hurricane season is June 1 through November.
