SOUTHWEST FLORIDA : I wanted to continue to reaffirm that this will not be our storm. The eyewall, the worst part of the storm, will be up the coast and away from our area. Models have not drastically changed since my morning update (they've actually shifted west the past 24 hours) and still fall within the current NHC cone. Southwest Florida will experience impacts typical on the eastern "dirty side" of a storm and more comparable to a tropical storm...which is why we are currently under a Tropical Storm Warning. Locally, you do not need to put up Hurricane Shutters based on the forecast. Here is my final forecast for Southwest Florida: 👉 RAIN: 1 - 3" on average. I do have a few models showing the potential of what's called "training," where narrow bands of heavy rain move over the exact same spot. In those limited and isolated spots, 4"+ of rain *if* they set-up. 👉 WIND: West of I-75 (coast) wind will be sustained during the storm's peak between 20 - 35 mph, gusting 35 - 55 mph. Highest at the beaches. East of I-75 (inland) wind will be sustained during the storm's peak between 15 - 25 mph, gusting 25 - 45 mph. I'm not expecting widespread power outages, but a few isolated areas can't be ruled out. 👉 SURGE: 2 - 4 feet Tuesday evening into Wednesday morning with some coastal flooding. Unfortunately Idalia's arrival will also be coinciding close to the 2nd August Full Moon, which produces greater tidal swings. Lower low tides, but also higher high tides. 👉 TORNADOES: Will be possible because of our position on the eastern "dirty side" of the storm with enhanced twist and spin aloft. The minute any cell starts to spin, you'll immediately know about it from our WINK Weather Team. 👉 OTHER IMPACTS: Higher surf and beach erosion. This will not be an Ian for us. Not even close. For those struggling with PTSD after the storm, I hope that will bring some comfort. We will feel impacts from this storm in Southwest Florida, but not to the caliber or intensity of Hurricane Ian. For those struggling with PTSD after the storm, I hope that will bring comfort. If you're reading this from an area in a Hurricane or Storm Surge Warning along the Florida West Coast and you're told to evacuate because of the potential of life-threatening storm surge, please do so. Make sure to stick with WINK News in Southwest Florida for your #1 source for Idalia updates. I'll be with you every step of the way with the latest with no hype, just facts weather. @WINKNews

Unedited storm surge video at Fort Myers Beach from #HurricanIan released. It is so heartbreaking to see how the place many call home was under water in a matter of hours. Then, the surge goes down and you just see the devastation it left afterwards. Credit: @MesoMax919

Doctors are worried that a new bill cracking down on illegal immigration could have deadly consequences for their patients. The bill would require hospitals that accept Medicaid to ask patients about their citizenship status. @winknews bit.ly/3LXDAhc
