there is a "mouse-over" popup feature on the web page, or read this:

...WINDS...
EXPECTED CONDITIONS AND IMPACTS FOR THE FOLLOWING AREAS:
COASTAL PALM BEACH, COASTAL BROWARD, COASTAL MIAMI DADE, FAR SOUTH MIAMI DADE
MAXIMUM WINDS OF 25 TO 35 MPH WITH GUSTS TO 45 MPH OR HIGHER ARE
EXPECTED TO SPREAD ACROSS THE AREA THIS MORNING THROUGH EARLY THIS
AFTERNOON, PARTICULARLY IN HEAVY RAIN BANDS AND SQUALLS. AS THE
CENTER OF TROPICAL DEPRESSION SIXTEEN APPROACHES TODAY...TROPICAL
STORM FORCE WINDS ARE STILL POSSIBLE PARTICULARLY IF THE SYSTEM
INTENSIFIES...OR GETS BETTER ORGANIZED WITH MAXIMUM WINDS WRAPPED
CLOSER TO THE LOW PRESSURE CENTER. CONTINUE TO CLOSELY MONITOR THE
FORECAST FOR ANY SIGNIFICANT CHANGES AND BE READY TO TAKE
APPROPRIATE ACTIONS.

POTENTIAL IMPACT: THESE WINDS DO NOT REPRESENT A THREAT TO LIFE
OR PROPERTY. HOWEVER...IF ACTUAL TROPICAL STORM FORCE WINDS ARE
EXPERIENCED ACROSS THE AREA...MINOR DAMAGE COULD OCCUR TO MANY
MOBILE HOMES, ESPECIALLY THOSE THAT ARE UNANCHORED. A FEW HOUSES
MAY HAVE MINOR DAMAGE TO ROOF SHINGLES AND SIDING. THOSE WINDS
WOULD ALSO BE CAPABLE OF DAMAGING CARPORTS, AWNINGS, POOL CAGES
AND LANAI SCREENS. UNSECURED LIGHTWEIGHT ITEMS MAY BECOME
PROJECTILES, CAUSING ADDITIONAL DAMAGE. WINDS COULD BECOME
DANGEROUS ON BRIDGES AND CAUSEWAYS, ESPECIALLY FOR HIGH PROFILE
VEHICLES. SOME ELECTRICAL WIRES COULD BE BLOWN DOWN, AND ISOLATED
POWER OUTAGES WOULD BE POSSIBLE, ESPECIALLY IN AREAS WITH ABOVE
GROUND LINES. MOST NEWLY PLANTED TREES AND SHRUBS COULD BE DAMAGED
OR UPROOTED. SMALL BRANCHES AND NUMEROUS SMALL TWIGS COULD BREAK
OFF TREES. SOME PALM FRONDS COULD BE BLOWN DOWN.
