Tropical Storm Idalia to Become Major Hurricane on Its Path Toward Florida

Tropical Storm Idalia is set to intensify into a hurricane on Monday on its way toward Florida, which is bracing for its first major storm of the Atlantic hurricane season. The storm is expected to make landfall Wednesday on Florida’s Gulf Coast as a dangerous major hurricane, according to the National Hurricane Center. Idalia, which strengthened into a tropical storm Sunday, could become at least a major Category 3 hurricane before it reaches Florida.
