Latest Forecast Updates 

UPDATE: 11 p.m., Friday, Sept. 8, 2017

Hurricane Irma is back to a Category 5 with winds at 160 MPH.

Irma is located 120 miles east-southeast of Caibarien, Cuba and 300 miles south-southeast of Miami, Florida.

The complete list of advisories is:

Storm Surge Warnings:

  • Volusia/Brevard County Line southward around the Florida peninsula to Anclote River
  • Florida Keys
  • Tampa Bay

Storm Surge Watches:

  • North of the Volusia/Brevard County Line to the Flagler/Volusia County Line
  • North of Anclote River to Suwannee River

Hurricane Warnings:

  • Volusia/Brevard County Line southward around the Florida peninsula to Anclote River
  • Florida Keys
  • Lake Okeechobee
  • Florida Bay
  • Cuban provinces of Camaguey, Ciego de Avila, Sancti Spiritus, and Villa Clara
  • Central Bahamas and Ragged Island
  • Northwestern Bahamas

  • North and west of Anclote River to Indian Pass
  • Cuban provinces of Holguin and Las Tunas 

Tropical Storm Warnings:

Hurricane force winds extend outward up to 70 miles from the center of the storm and tropical storm force winds 185 miles from the center.​

A turn to the northwest will occur late Saturday. Irma's eye will continue to move near the north coast of Cuba and the central Bahamas tonight and Saturday before nearing the Florida keys and southern peninsula by Sunday morning into Sunday afternoon.

Hurricane and tropical storm force conditions are possible within the watch area in central and north FL by Sunday.

The potential for tornadic activity will begin Saturday morning across south Florida moving that potential north as the storm moves north. 

Irma is likely to make landfall in southern Florida as a dangerous major hurricane and is expected to bring life threatening wind impacts to majority of the state.

The danger of life threatening storm surge has been elevated for southern Florida through the Florida keys over the next 24-36 hours. Areas on the southwest coast of Florida could experience 6-12 foot storm surge. 

Rain accumulations across the state are expected to be between 4-12 inches with isolated areas up to 15 inches through Monday. Highest amounts are expected along the eastern peninsula down through the Florida keys which in result elevates the threat for flooding.

It is the time to have hurricane preparedness plans and checklists in place and be ready to evacuate if local officials say to do so.

The peak of hurricane season is September 10 and the season goes through November 30.​

In addition to Irma, we are also tracking two other hurricanes in the Atlantic although they will pose no threat to Florida at this time.

Hurricane Jose is now a Category 4 in the Central Atlantic and expected to make a turn to the northwest farther away from the United States, warranting watches and warnings for the northern Leeward Islands, where Irma hit just a few days ago.

Hurricane Katia is drifting west-southwest in the Bay of Campeche and has warranted watches and warnings along the east coast of Mexico.

The fairly quiet weather right now is a great time to go over your hurricane preparedness checklist. Make sure you have your supply kit, a plan to evacuate if you're in an evacuation zone and asked to leave, and check with your insurance company regarding hurricane and flood coverage.

There is no need to be scared, it is always good to be prepared. The 2017 Atlantic hurricane season runs through Nov. 30.
