Hurricane and tropical storm watches have been issued for parts of Florida, with the system expected to strengthen into a hurricane by Wednesday in the Gulf of Mexico. Most forecast models predict landfall on Florida's Gulf Coast or the northern Gulf Coast by Thursday. The hurricane could be intense at landfall, bringing life-threatening storm surge, damaging winds, and heavy rainfall. Impacts are expected to extend inland across parts of the southern U.S. through Friday.

A storm surge watch is in effect for parts of Florida, including Tampa Bay and Charlotte Harbor. Water levels could rise as much as 10-15 feet in the Big Bend area, while Tampa Bay may see 5-8 feet of storm surge. Although the highest surge will occur near the storm's center, much of Florida’s western coast will experience elevated water levels above normal.
