Tropical Depression 10 was upgraded to Tropical Storm Idalia on Sunday morning.
Idalia has winds of 40 miles per hour.
The storm is forecast to move into the eastern Gulf of Mexico early next week and head toward Florida, likely as a hurricane.Hurricane hunters are flying in and around the storm Sunday to collect more accurate data that will help forecasts.that Idalia will move northward into the Southern Gulf then turn more northeast toward Florida with the entire Panhandle & upper west coast susceptible to a landfall.Buresh said at this point, a landfall on the Eastern Panhandle or approximately Big Bend seems to be the area to focus on. The European model continues taking the storm to a landfall just north of Tampa on Wednesday afternoon.
Based on the current forecast, Buresh said locally we could see an average of 1-2″ of rain, locally 3-4,″ heaviest/most widespread from Lake City to Waycross . We could see winds averaging 20-30 mph sustained with gusts 40+ mph *Talking the Tropics With Mike:There will be a high rip current risk largely due to distant hurricane Franklin & an easterly swell. Based on the current forecast, this should not be particularly significant for our beaches.
