Hurricane hunters began flights on Sunday to collect data on Tropical Storm Idalia which is expected to be least a Category 1 Hurricane.
Although it is too soon to specify the exact location and magnitude of these impacts, residents in these areas should monitor updates to the forecast, have their hurricane plan in place, and follow any advice given by local officials.reportedNOAA’s Hurricane Hunters and the Air Force Reserve have seven separate flights scheduled Sunday to check out Idalia.
If the planes find the center of the storm sits more offshore, to the east of current predictions, that could sit the system over some of the warmest waters in the Gulf of Mexico, giving it time and space to strengthen before it launches north into the Gulf. Western regions of the state are expected to experience strong winds leading to power outages and coastal flooding.
“Everyone along Florida’s Gulf Coast should prepare for potentially significant impacts from this storm, whether direct or indirect,” meteorologist Tony Sadiku warned. This most recent tropical storm comes a little more than a week after Tropical Storm Hilary — labeled a category 4 — made landfall in Southern California, bringing record rain to the region, Breitbart News
