However, Key West International Airport was expected to close today at 10 a.m. EDT. Sunday, US 1 was backed up with traffic as residents and tourists were leaving the Upper Keys. Monday traffic was light and steady. Early this morning, Tropical Storm Fay was over central Cuba and moving north-northwest at 12 mph. Read: Florida Keys brace for hit from Tropical Storm Fay.
