Potential Tropical Depression Threatens Tampa Bay Area

A tropical depression is likely to form in the Gulf of Mexico and could potentially impact the Tampa Bay area next week. The system, if it develops, could become a tropical storm named Idalia. While the chances of it reaching hurricane status seem minimal, residents should expect heavy rain, tropical downpours, wind gusts of 40 mph or higher, and coastal flooding.
