10 AM CDT 28Aug: Storm Surge, Hurricane & Tropical Storm warnings for #Idalia have been issued for portions of Florida. Residents in these areas should follow any advice given by local officials. Make sure to stay up to date with the latest information at hurricanes.gov
KEY MESSAGES: 1. There is a danger of life-threatening storm surge inundation along portions of the Florida Gulf Coast where a Storm Surge Warning is in effect, including Tampa Bay and the Big Bend region of Florida. Inundation of 7 to 11 feet above ground level is expected somewhere between Chassahowitzka and Aucilla River. Residents in these areas should follow any advice given by local officials. 2. Hurricane conditions are expected within portions of the Hurricane Warning area along the Florida Gulf Coast, with the potential for destructive winds where the core of Idalia moves onshore. Strong winds will also spread inland across portions of northern Florida near the track of the center of Idalia. 3. Areas of flash and urban flooding, some of which may be locally significant, are expected across portions of Florida and the southeast United States. 4. Hurricane-force winds are expected across portions of far western Cuba later today. Heavy rainfall is also expected.

Here's a good way to visualize how impacts will extend well outside #Idalia's forecast cone with bands of heavy rain, gusty winds and isolated tornadoes expected for #swfl Tuesday-Wednesday. Storm surge is also a big concern as winds come onshore. @NBC2
