Hurricane Idalia to impact Bay Area Tuesday night
FOX 13 Meteorologist Tony Sadiku is closely monitoring Hurricane Idalia as it moves toward Florida. He says the winds are stronger and the pressure is dropping, which means it will likely intensify to a category 2 storm and then reach category 3, close to category 4 status before making landfall in the Big Bend Area Wednesday morning. He encourages residents to be done with their hurricane preps by 7 p.m. on Tuesday because the Bay Area should begin feeling the effects of the storm Tuesday evening. He adds that Hurricane Idalia?s path has not changed and says even though he doesn?t expect us to get a direct hit from Hurricane Idalia, the Bay Area can expect a 4?7-foot storm surge with counties close to the Big Bend area seeing a storm surge of 10-12 feet.

Hurricane Idalia: Tuesday afternoon forecast
FOX 13 Meteorologist Tony Sadiku says Hurricane Idalia will strengthen as wind shear weakens and it moves over very warm waters in the Gulf of Mexico. Sadiku says Hurricane Idalia has picked up speed and as of noon on Tuesday was moving north at 14 miles an hour. He expects Hurricane Idalia to become a category 2 storm when it is off the coast of the Bay Area and then reach category 3 strength before it makes landfall in the Big Bend. At this point Sadiku says he does not expect the track to shift much as it moves north. He did caution that while the Bay Area is not in Hurricane Idalia?s direct path, we are on the east side of a storm that will have winds of 120 miles per hour, putting it just under category 4 strength. That means the Bay Area is likely to see a storm surge of 4-7 feet, with a storm surge of 10-15 feet for the northern counties.

Tropical Storm Idalia to become a major hurricane
FOX 13 Meteorologist Jim Weber continues to watch Tropical Storm Idalia as it begins to strengthen. He says it is currently a tropical storm, but it is expected to become a hurricane Monday night or Tuesday morning and intensify as it moves along warm waters in the Gulf of Mexico. A hurricane warning is in place from Longboat Key through the Big Bend Area. As of 11 a.m., Idalia has wind of 65 miles an hour. He cautions Floridians to pay attention to the forecast cone and not the center line of the storm because any jog in the forecast will change the impact to the Bay Area. Southern counties on the west coast of Florida will begin to see tropical storm-force winds beginning Tuesday evening, while the rest of the area experience the winds Tuesday night and into Wednesday morning. A storm surge of 4-7 feet is also likely in Tampa Bay.

Tropical system may impact Florida
FOX 13 Meteorologist Tony Sadiku has his eye on the tropics as a tropical system moves closer to Florida. Tony is watching an area of disturbed weather in the Northwest Caribbean, circulating an area of low pressure. As it moves into the Gulf of Mexico on Monday, Tony says things could ramp up. Tony says a potential storm would bring heavy rain and severe weather along the coast on Tuesday and Wednesday. However, there is still a lot to fine-tune regarding strength and the path of the potential storm that will become clearer once the system fully forms.

Tropical storm may form in Gulf, head toward FL
FOX 13 Meteorologist Dave Osterberg says the tropics are heating up, but he is only concerned about one area that will impact Bay Area weather next week. He says there is an area of low pressure in the western Caribbean that will meander over the Yucatan and move into the Gulf of Mexico, where the water is very warm making it the ideal climate for strengthening. Osterberg says the good news is there is a wind shear over the Gulf that will slow its development. However, he adds that most of the computer models show that it will become a tropical storm and stay a tropical storm that will bring a lot of rain to the west coast of Florida on Tuesday and Wednesday. If it does earn a name, the storm will be called Idalia.

Potential tropical system may impact Florida
FOX 13 Meteorologist Dave Osterberg has his eye on the tropics as we head into the heart of hurricane season. He is watching an area of moisture that?s sitting over Central America has a 50 percent chance of developing over the next week as it heads into the Caribbean and eventually the Gulf of Mexico. He says that while wind shear should keep it fairly weak, it could become a named storm. Regardless, the system will bring rain to central and South Florida next week. Two other disturbances are in the middle of the Atlantic and while Tropical Storm Franklin may gain hurricane strength as it moves into the Atlantic, it will not impact the Sunshine State.

Tropical Storm Franklin may become a hurricane
FOX 13 Meteorologist Jim Weber is watching several areas in the tropics. Tropical Storm Franklin has top winds of 40 miles an hour as it crosses the Dominican Republic. It is expected to gain strength, and possibly become a hurricane as it enters the Atlantic. Weber is also watching the remnants of Emily that has the possibility of reforming in the Atlantic. Another area Weber is looking at is in the Pacific Ocean that is moving over Central America and may eventually enter the Gulf of Mexico and develop as it hits warm water.
