Yeah the wind field on the eastern side of #Idalia's circulation is huge for a 50-55 knot (ish) tropical storm.
Recon has been consistently getting ~50+ knot flight level winds & ~45 kt SFMR ~150+ miles to the east-southeast of the center. The wind field is likely only going to grow appreciably in size as #Idalia continues to fight off this northerly shear (which could lead to additional short-term broadening), then begins the process of extratropical transition prior to landfall in Florida, which also typically leads to TCs that grow in size.
Don’t take any chances with #Idalia 🌀
If you’re under an #evacuation order, please get out.
Glad to hear #Florida emergency officials and leaders are stressing to evacuate just a few miles inland. You don’t have to drive hundreds of miles away.
We lost so many people to #Hurricane Ian. Do not underestimate the threat of storm surge.

Subsidence in periphery of HOT SUPERCELL on the south side of the center of Tropical Storm #Idalia looks to be carving out a little eye-like feature. Hurricane warnings issued for far western Cuba. Farther east path seems very plausible. Storm surge impacts around Tampa Bay could be catastrophic.
We are three thousand followers away from 850k, and are actively building the largest movement in America to elect Democrats up and down the ballot this November. Could you please retweet this and give us a follow to help grow the Meidas Mighty movement?
Republicans are getting very upset people keep retweeting this ad so I figured I would post for any of you who haven’t seen it yet and then I am going to retweet myself tonight.
