Idalia strengthens to Category 4 hurricane

The time to prepare is over and a dire situation is unfolding along Florida’s Gulf Coast as Category 4 Hurricane Idalia continues to rapidly intensify in the Gulf of Mexico. Catastrophic, life-threatening storm surge and destructive winds will pound the state’s Big Bend region as the monster storm nears the coast just hours away from landfall.

The FOX Forecast Center is actively tracking Hurricane Idalia as it churns toward Florida as the tenth named storm of the 2023 Atlantic hurricane season. Idalia rapidly intensified into an extremely dangerous Category 4 hurricane hours ahead of the storm’s Florida landfall. 

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis issued a state of emergency for half the state ahead of the catastrophic threats from heavy rainfall, gusty winds and storm surge.

The maps below from the FOX Forecast Center show the latest live information on system’s projected path, watches and warnings, predicted rainfall totals and more.
