1:15PM EDT 30 August 2023 Update
A fortuitously timed Eyewall Replacement Cycle began as Idalia made landfall, weakening the hurricane, and thus lowering the maximum sustained winds. Nonetheless, severe impacts were and still are widely felt.
As of this update, Idalia continues pushing inland, analyzed by as a Cat 1. The center is clearly located east of Valdosta, GA.
NHC is now ending hourly advisories. The next intermediate advisory will be issued at 2:00 PM EDT.
9:00PM EDT 29 August 2023 Update
Idalia is continuing to rapidly intensify. Interests along the west and northwest Florida coast, especially those in Surge Warning and Hurricane Warning areas should now be rushing any last minute preps to protect life and property to completion. Impacts will also be felt well inland. Power outages may last days or even weeks. Hazards such as felled and falilng trees, roof and even building failures, rapidly rising water, could soon make passage to safety difficult and potentially deadly in your area.
1:30PM EDT 29 August 2023 Update
This wide view of the Tropical Atlantic really highlights how much larger Hurricane Idalia has become. While the cyclone has a well-defined and tight inner core with an increasingly healthy eyewall, the reach of Idalia's winds and heavy rains extends out up to hundreds of miles from the center. This not only will prolong the wind and rain over many locations, but also dramatically increase the fetch of storm surge. Deadly storm surge.
This image is also a reminder that the entire basin is still favorable for development, with two more Tropical Cyclones being tracked (Franklin and T.D. 11), as well as two other areas of interest.
Original Update
Overnight, Hurricane Franklin became the first Major Hurricane of the 2023 Atlantic Hurricane Season, and as of the 4AM CT Advisory, Hurricane Idalia is now officially forecast to become a Major Hurricane as well.
The time for Floridians to prepare for potentially life-threatening storm surge, wind and rain is today. By Tuesday conditions (and not just the weather) may start to become far too difficult for many.
Models are ingesting flight after flight of recon data now, and this should assist forecasters. We go into them in greater detail in the Idalia Forecast Lounge , which is also a good place to discuss pure informed speculation and best guesses as to Idalia's future.

Tropical Storm Idalia Local Statement Advisory Number 7
National Weather Service Melbourne FL AL102023
534 AM EDT Mon Aug 28 2023
This product covers East Central Florida
**Tropical Storm Idalia Forecast to Strengthen into a Hurricane as
it Moves Into the Southeastern Gulf of Mexico Later Today**
NEW INFORMATION
---------------
* CHANGES TO WATCHES AND WARNINGS:
- A Tropical Storm Watch has been issued for Orange, Osceola, and
Seminole
* CURRENT WATCHES AND WARNINGS:
- A Tropical Storm Watch is in effect for Northern Lake, Orange,
Osceola, Seminole, and Southern Lake
* STORM INFORMATION:
- About 640 miles south-southwest of Leesburg FL
- 20.1N 85.2W - Storm Intensity 65 mph
- Movement North or 360 degrees at 7 mph
SITUATION OVERVIEW
------------------
The center of Tropical Storm Idalia is located around 125 miles
south of the tip of western Cuba early this morning. Idalia is
moving north at about 7 mph, with a continued northward motion
expected today and Tuesday. The storm is currently forecast to
approach the Florida Gulf coast Tuesday night into Wednesday as a
major hurricane.
Preparations should be ongoing for at least tropical storm
conditions by mid week.
A Tropical Storm Watch is now in effect for Lake, Seminole, Orange
and Osceola Counties, where confidence is highest in tropical storm
conditions occurring. Additional watches may be necessary for
portions of east-central Florida later this morning.
Showers, squalls and thunderstorms associated with outer rain bands
from Idalia may reach central Florida by late this afternoon, with
conditions further deteriorating Tuesday afternoon and evening as
Idalia accelerates north-northeastward across the eastern Gulf of
Mexico. As coverage of showers and squalls increases Tuesday
afternoon into Wednesday, the possibility of strong to damaging wind
gusts will also increase. Tropical storm force winds are forecast to
extend outward from the storm's center, potentially reaching
interior portions of east-central Florida Tuesday night into
Wednesday morning.
Based on the current forecast track, Idalia will make its closest
pass to east-central Florida late Tuesday night and early Wednesday
morning, continuing northeastward during the day on Wednesday.
While the heaviest rainfall from Idalia is currently forecast to
fall along the Gulf Coast and western Florida Peninsula, gusty
squalls will be capable of torrential downpours, especially Tuesday
and Wednesday over Lake County. One to two inches of rain from
Monday afternoon through Wednesday night is expected for coastal
areas and Okeechobee County and two to four inches are expected west
of I-95 from Brevard and Osceola Counties northward, with locally
higher amounts possible.
Locations in closer proximity to the center of Idalia, such as Lake
County in east-central Florida, may receive higher rainfall totals.
In addition to strong wind gusts, a threat for tornadoes is forecast
to develop as the center of Idalia moves into the eastern Gulf of
Mexico from Tuesday afternoon into Wednesday.
Incoming swell from Hurricane Franklin combined with winds from
Idalia will lead to high seas, rough surf, an increase in life-
threatening rip currents, and beach erosion Tuesday into Wednesday.
Do not let your guard down, especially in locations outside of the
current Tropical Storm Watch. Impacts from Idalia will be felt far
from the center of the storm. Now is the time to ensure your
hurricane supply kit is stocked and your safety plan is in place.
As Idalia becomes better organized through this afternoon,
additional changes to the current forecast are possible. Eastward
shifts in the forecast track would increase the potential for local
impacts, so continue to monitor the latest forecasts from the
National Hurricane Center and National Weather Service in Melbourne,
Florida.
POTENTIAL IMPACTS
-----------------
* WIND: Prepare for dangerous wind having possible significant
impacts across portions of east central Florida. Potential impacts
in this area include:
- Some damage to roofing and siding materials, along with damage
to porches, awnings, carports, and sheds. A few buildings
experiencing window, door, and garage door failures. Mobile homes
damaged, especially if unanchored. Unsecured lightweight objects
become dangerous projectiles.
- Several large trees snapped or uprooted, but with greater
numbers in places where trees are shallow rooted. Several fences
and roadway signs blown over.
- Some roads impassable from large debris, and more within urban
or heavily wooded places. A few bridges, causeways, and access
routes impassable.
- Scattered power and communications outages, but more prevalent
in areas with above ground lines.
* FLOODING RAIN: Prepare for dangerous rainfall flooding having
possible significant impacts across portions of east central
Florida. Potential impacts include:
- Moderate rainfall flooding may prompt several evacuations and
rescues.
- Rivers and tributaries may quickly become swollen with swifter
currents and overspill their banks in a few places, especially
in usually vulnerable spots. Small streams, creeks, canals and
ditches overflow.
- Flood waters can enter some structures or weaken foundations.
Several places may experience expanded areas of rapid inundation
at underpasses, low-lying spots, and poor drainage areas. Some
streets and parking lots take on moving water as storm drains and
retention ponds overflow. Driving conditions become hazardous.
Some road and bridge closures.
* TORNADOES: Prepare for a dangerous tornado event having possible
significant impacts across portions of east central Florida.
Potential impacts include:
- The occurrence of scattered tornadoes can hinder the execution of
emergency plans during tropical events.
- Several places may experience tornado damage with a few spots of
of considerable damage, power loss, and communications failures.
- Locations could realize roofs torn off frame houses, mobile
homes demolished, boxcars overturned, large trees snapped or
uprooted, vehicles tumbled, and small boats tossed about.
Dangerous projectiles can add to the toll.
* SURGE: Direct surge impacts from Idalia are not currently
anticipated at this time. However, larger swells and surf combined
with Hurricane Franklin will bring a threat for minor coastal
flooding and beach erosion.Locations more vulnerable to coastal
flooding and beach erosion, such as portions of the Volusia County
coast, should stay updated on the latest forecasts.
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS
----------------------------------
* EVACUATIONS: Listen to local official for recommended preparedness
actions, including possible evacuation. If ordered to evacuate, do
so immediately.
* OTHER PREPAREDNESS INFORMATION: Now is the time to check your
emergency plan and emergency supplies kit and take necessary
actions to protect your family and secure your home or business.
When making safety and preparedness decisions, do not focus on the
exact forecast track since hazards such as flooding rain, damaging
wind gusts, storm surge, and tornadoes extend well away from the
center of the storm.
When securing your property, outside preparations should be
concluded as soon as possible before conditions deteriorate. The
onset of strong gusty winds or flooding can cause certain
preparedness activities to become unsafe.
Closely monitor weather.gov, NOAA Weather Radio and local news
outlets for official storm information. Listen for possible changes
to the forecast.
There is a threat from tornadoes with this storm. Have multiple ways
to receive Tornado Warnings. Be ready to shelter quickly.
* ADDITIONAL SOURCES OF INFORMATION:
- For information on appropriate preparations see ready.gov
- For information on creating an emergency plan see getagameplan.org
- For additional disaster preparedness information see redcross.org
NEXT UPDATE
-----------
The next local statement will be issued by the National Weather
Service in Melbourne FL around 12 Noon EDT, or sooner if conditions
warrant.

Relatively cool and moist eye at the moment, but pressure is still lower than earlier, with the winds a bit stronger. It should be noted that these winds are from the NW and SE quadrants, recon having not yet sampled what are probably even stronger winds in the Right Front Quadrant (NE).
Worth noting that there may be a little bit of increased shear over Idalia this afternoon. However, this is expected to drop again tonight, along with increased instability from the atmosphere cooling while the ocean remains exceptionally warm.
