A small craft advisory remains in effect as Hurricane Sandy brushes Florida's coast. The bulk of the storm will stay away from Florida and will eventually head up the East Coast. Sandy is expected to turn inland around Maryland and bring upwards of 10 inches of rain to the area, with snow likely in the higher elevations.
