TROPICAL STORM IDALIA IS FORECAST TO INTENSIFY INTO A HURRICANE
TODAY AS IT MOVES THROUGH THE EASTERN GULF OF MEXICO TOWARD THE
WESTERN COAST OF FLORIDA. SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD BEGIN
TODAY ACROSS FLORIDA. THE MOST SIGNIFICANT IMPACTS ASSOCIATED WITH
IDALIA WILL BE EXPERIENCED ALONG PORTIONS OF FLORIDA'S GULF COAST
BETWEEN TAMPA BAY AND TALAHASSEE, WHERE THE FLASH FLOODING, SEVERE
WEATHER, WIND AND STORM SURGE THREAT IS THE GREATEST. A MODERATE
RISK OF EXCESSIVE RAINFALL LEADING TO FLASH FLOODING IS IN EFFECT
FOR THE AFOREMENTIONED AREA. THERE IS A DANGER OF LIFE-THREATENING
STORM SURGE INUNDATION ALONG PORTIONS OF THE FLORDIA GULF COAST
WHERE A STORM SURGE WARNING IS IN EFFECT. HURRICANE, FLASH FLOOD
AND STORM SURGE WARNINGS ARE ALL IN EFFECT ALONG FLORIDA'S GULF
COAST. FOR MORE INFORMATION ON IDALIA, PLEASE GO TO HURRICANES.GOV.
MEANWHILE A STATIONARY FRONT DRAPED ACROSS THE CENTRAL/SOUTHERN
APPALACHIANS WILL BE THE FOCUS FOR HEAVY RAINFALL AS MOISTURE FROM
THE GULF STREAMS NORTHWARD AND INTERACTS WITH THE BOUNDARY.
UPSLOPE ENHANCEMENT ALONG THE TERRAIN WILL SUPPORT FLASH FLOODING
CONCERNS, ESPECIALLY OVER PARTS OF THE LEE SIDE OF THE
CENTRAL/SOUTHERN APPALACHIANS OUT INTO THE CAROLINA AND GEORGIA
PIEDMONT REGIONS.
