The National Hurricane Center discontinued a tropical storm warning for the Florida Keys last Friday. 

The Florida Keys National Weather Service does have a coastal flood warning remaining in effect for the Upper Keys for the potential of some saltwater flooding in low-lying areas.

Both Monroe County airports, including Key West International, are open. However, passengers should check with airlines before traveling to airports to ensure their flights are not being impacted by the storm's effects on other airports.

No significant infrastructure damage was reported, according to Monroe County Emergency Management Director Shannon Weiner, adding that the Florida Keys Overseas Highway is fully open without issues. 

Everglades National Park, including the Flamingo area in Monroe County, is open. Garden Key and Loggerhead Key in Dry Tortugas National Park, located 70 miles west of Key West, are open, said parks spokesperson Allyson Gantt, with ferry and seaplane trips happening daily. 

Keys state parks are open, as are most all Keys attractions and other visitor-related offerings.
