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.

Sunday morning tropics update

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.

5 disturbances swirl in the tropics
FOX 13 Meteorologist Tony Sadiku is watching a handful of tropical disturbances, including three named storms that popped up over the last two days. On Monday, Potential Tropical Cyclone 9 and Tropical Storm Gert formed. Potential Tropical Cyclone 9 dumped rain on Florida over the weekend and is now moving west in the Gulf of Mexico. The system could impact Texas as early as Tuesday. Tropical Storm Franklin is in the Caribbean, but it is expected to turn into the Atlantic and gain strength. Tropical Storm Gert is having a tough time and will likely dissipate on Monday. Emily, which became a tropical storm on Sunday, has been downgraded to a post-tropical storm and the National Hurricane Center says it has issued its last advisory on the storm. Sadiku says the good news is that none of the tropical systems will impact Florida. The next named storm will be called Harold.

Activity in the tropics continues to increase
With the weekend coming to a close, Fox meteorologist Tony Sadiku is keeping his eye on the congested tropics. Tony says a new depression has formed, but it is not expected to turn into a storm. Tony is also watching five other depressions expected to bring rain to Florida. While all the depressions are expected to develop, Tony says they are not expected to make a local impact.

Activity in the tropics is increasing
Fox 13 meteorologist Tony Sadiku is watching the Pacific and Atlantic as Activity in the Tropics increases. Tony says Hurricane Hillary is closing in on California. The storm could cause significant flooding in parts of Nevada and California. Tony is also watching one system expected to stay around the Caribbean.

4 systems spin in tropics, 1 to impact Florida
FOX 13 Meteorologist Jim Weber is keeping an eye on four tropical systems, including one that will likely bring rain to the Sunshine State. Weber says a tropical wave that is working its way west will increase our rain chances on Sunday. After it enters the Gulf of Mexico it has the potential to strengthen into a tropical storm as it heads toward Texas. As Weber watches Invest 98 and Invest 99, he says wind shear will play a major role in determining whether or not they will develop further. Another tropical disturbance is also working its way west. If one of the four gains a name, it will be called Emily.

Tropical disturbance may bring rain to Florida
FOX 13 Meteorologist Jim Weber is watching three different areas in the tropics that may develop over the next week. The first one is a tropical wave working its way into the Gulf of Mexico, which may increase our rain chances before it heads west toward Texas and Mexico. Weber?s been watching two area off the coast f Africa for a few days. He says they are still pretty disorganized and if they stay close to each other it will lessen the chances of the areas developing. However, he does caution that one area looks like it has a better chance than the other of gaining strength is the two separate.

Tropical activity could ramp up heading into the weekend
Fox 13 meteorologist Jim Weber is watching two tropical waves. Both waves are working their way off the east coast of Africa, but only one will likely develop into a storm. Jim is also watching a frontal boundary in the Gulf of Mexico which is providing some instability. According to Jim, a tropical wave is working its way south into the Gulf, which would add extra pressure to the boundary. He says that will bring heavy rain to Texas as it moves west.
