All eyes are on Hurricane Idalia as it nears the Florida west coast. Idalia is expected to make landfall around the Big Bend of Florida Wednesday morning as a major category three hurricane.

Temperatures will be near 100 through Friday with lower humidity. Look for rain chances to return this weekend and temperatures to drop back to the middle to upper 90s.
