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.
