Tropical Storm Idalia has formed in the eastern Gulf of Mexico and is expected to strengthen into a Category 1 hurricane before making landfall over Florida's Gulf Coast. The National Hurricane Center has issued a state of emergency for 33 Florida counties in preparation for the storm. Governor Ron DeSantis has urged Floridians to have a plan and a stocked supply kit and to follow updates from the Florida Division of Emergency Management. Idalia is currently bringing heavy rains to parts of western Cuba and the Yucatan Peninsula with maximum sustained winds at 40 mph. It is expected to move near the Yucatan Channel through Sunday night and then speed up towards the north on Monday, putting it near the Gulf of Mexico. The storm is forecast to bring 3 to 6 inches of rain to parts of Florida, with up to 10 inches in some areas. Flash and urban flooding is also a possibility. People are advised to have their hurricane plan in place and stay updated on the storm's progress.
