Tropical Storm Ida formed in the central Caribbean Thursday afternoon. At 5 am Friday, Ida was located near 20.0 North, 81.4 West, about 50 miles north-northwest of Grand Cayman. Maximum sustained winds were 45 miles per hour, and Ida was moving northwest at 15 miles per hour. A tropical storm warning is in effect for the Cayman Islands and western Cuba. A hurricane watch is in effect from Cameron, Louisiana to the Mississippi/Alabama border, including the New Orleans area. There’s a tropical storm watch from the Alabama border eastward to the Alabama/Florida border. Ida is expected to intensify in the Gulf of Mexico, possibly reaching category 3 status before reaching the northern Gulf coast. Besides damaging winds and flooding rain, Ida has the potential of bringing up to 7 feet of life-threatening storm surge to portions of the northern Gulf coast.
In the central Atlantic, the disturbance well to the east-southeast of Bermuda has a medium chance of developing into a depression in the next couple of days, before conditions become more hostile. And the wave halfway between the Lesser Antilles and the Cape Verde Islands has a high chance of developing in the next few days as it moves generally northward into an area of unfavorable upper-level winds.
