由于风暴移动的速度很快,远离佛罗里达海岸的内陆地区可能会出现极端大风,甚至从盖恩斯维尔到瓦尔多斯塔都可能会出现110英里/小时的大风。
Idalia live updates: Forecast shows hurricane will be 'extremely dangerous'
Hurricane Idalia isforecast to make landfallWednesday morning in Florida's Big Bend area, north of Tampa.
The storm is expected to strengthen further as it nears Florida, possibly becoming a major Category 3 hurricane.
Hurricane Idalia remains Category 2, winds reach 105 mph
Hurricane Idalia remains a Category 2 storm with sustained winds up to 105 mph.
Idalia is moving at 16 mph to the north and is now 155 miles away from Tampa, Florida.
Hurricane and storm surge warnings in Florida are in effect for Englewood, Longboat Key and Tampa Bay, according to the National Hurricane Center.
Idalia's flight impacts
More than 2,200 flights Tuesday are delayed and over 500 flights are canceled across the U.S. as Idalia nears.
So far, more than 500 U.S. flights are canceled for Wednesday.
Currently the Tampa International Airport and St. Pete–Clearwater International Airport are closed. Sarasota-Bradenton International Airport is set to close at 7 p.m. Tuesday.
Now is the time to evacuate, DeSantis says
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis urged people ordered to evacuate to leave now if they haven't already.
"If you are in an evacuation zone and you've been directed to evacuate, particularly if you're in a low-lying area or coastal area, in that Big Bend region, now's the time to do it," DeSantis said during a press briefing. "If you wait much longer, by the time we get in further into tonight, the weather is going to start getting nastier and nastier."
Kevin Guthrie, director of the Florida Division of Emergency Management, said he is "greatly concerned about Cedar Key," where he expects a storm surge of 12 to 13 feet.
DeSantis said that 28 counties in Florida now have some kind of evacuation order -- including Alachua County, home to Gainesville. Over 50 shelters have been set up throughout the state, he said.
Idalia is expected to intensify to a Category 3 hurricane overnight, according to the National Hurricane Center, which warned in its latest advisory that "life-threatening" storm surge could reach 10 to 15 feet in some of the Big Bend area.
The impact of the eyewall is expected to arrive sometime Wednesday morning, DeSantis said.
Latest path shows Idalia making landfall southeast of Tallahassee
The latest track shows Hurricane Idalia making landfall southeast of Tallahassee in the northern Big Bend area. This is a bit farther west than the previous track.
Idalia is then expected to skirt across southern Georgia and the Carolinas with tropical storm force gusts and flooding rain Wednesday through Thursday.
Isolated tornadoes will also be possible.
Extreme winds are possible far inland off the Florida coast because of how quickly the storm is moving -- even Gainesville to Valdosta could see 110 mph winds.
