TL;DR

Tropical Storm Idalia is currently in the Gulf of Mexico with sustained winds of 70 mph. It is forecasted to strengthen into a major hurricane before making landfall in Florida early Wednesday. Tropical-storm-force winds are expected to arrive as weather conditions deteriorate, serving as a deadline for storm preparations and potential evacuations. This year's Atlantic hurricane season is expected to be near-normal, with the presence of El Niño increasing wind shear and potentially impeding hurricane formation. However, heightened sea surface temperatures pose additional threats, including the potential for supercharged storms.
