++PARTIALLY COVERED++
“Idalia, right now on Monday afternoon, still a tropical storm. It is expected to become a hurricane and then a major hurricane. And it is a threat to Florida and the southern- southeastern United States. It is in the Gulf of Mexico, which is very warm water right now. It is hurricane fuel.”

5. SOUNDBITE (English) Seth Borenstein, Associated Press:
“And the Hurricane Center's forecast that it will be a major hurricane by the time it hits land, 115 miles an hour. Once it hits land, it's supposed to go up Florida and likely through Georgia, South Carolina and parts of the North Carolina coast before it then takes a right turn, heads east and into the Atlantic. “

“This storm is going to be a rain threat. It is a water threat. Wind threat is not as big. It is still an issue. But it is mostly rain that kills people in hurricanes these days.”

STORYLINE:
Idalia is expected to start affecting Florida with hurricane-force winds as soon as late Tuesday and arrive on the coast by Wednesday. It is the first storm to hit Florida this hurricane season and a potentially big blow to the state, which is also dealing with lingering damage from Hurricane Ian.

At 5 p.m. EDT Monday, Tropical Storm Idalia was about 35 miles (60 kilometers) off the western tip of Cuba, with maximum sustained winds of 70 mph (110 kph), the hurricane center said. Idalia was moving north at 8 mph (13 kph). On Tuesday, it was expected to turn northeast at a faster pace, reaching Florida’s western coast as a dangerous major hurricane on Wednesday.

After moving across Florida, Idalia is forecast to blow through Georgia, South Carolina and North Carolina.
