Named Storm Ida – 2021
Named Storm Ida – 2021 is developing and intensifying in the Caribbean. This storm system is moving northwest at 12 to 15 miles per hour and due to the fairly fast movement, not much time remains before it could start affecting the US Gulf Coast States. Persons in Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and northwestern Florida should be monitoring the progress of this storm very carefully. Named Storm Ida – 2021 has a high probability of becoming a Hurricane by this weekend. Most worldwide tracking agencies are showing this system making landfall somewhere between the Texas – Louisiana border to as far east as the Alabama – Florida border on Sunday, August 29. We will post unofficial updates as needed.

Named Storm Elsa – 2021
Tropical Storm Elsa formed in the central Tropical Atlantic from a Tropical Depression. This storm is moving fairly rapidly westerly at over 20 MPH. As it enters the Caribbean, it will start to move more west-northwest and will affect Hispaniola, Jamaica and Cuba over the next few days.
Initial tracking models are showing this storm remaining as a mid level to strong Tropical Storm that may enter the southeastern Gulf of Mexico along the coast of Florida where it will then be steered more northerly. However, tracking this many days out can be a bit imprecise. Persons along the entire Gulf of Mexico should be monitoring the progress of this storm carefully, especially persons in Coastal Mississippi, Alabama, and most of Florida, on both the Gulf and Atlantic coast sides. South Florida could start to feel the effects of Named Storm Elsa later on Sunday, July 4 – extending through Tuesday, July 6. Coastal residents in Florida can expect heavy rain, gusty winds, high surf, beach erosion, rip currents and some tornadoes. We will update this initial information as needed.
Update July 02, 2021: As projected by many tracking models from worldwide agencies, Named Storm Elsa 2021 has gone over slightly warmer waters in the eastern Caribbean and has been upgraded to Hurricane Category 1. However, as it approaches Hispaniola, the mountains that the storm will be encountering will most likely weaken the intensity back to Tropical Storm levels. Tracking models are in general agreement that this storm will start affecting Southern Florida by early Monday, July 5.
Update July 05, 2021: As Named Storm Elsa moves more northerly, it will affect the Florida Keys, south Florida and the Gulf Coast of Florida. The storm is projected to bring heavy rainfall, gusty winds, a coastal storm surge of up to 4 feet in places and power outages. Persons in most of Florida, southern Georgia, the Carolina’s and Virginia should be monitoring this storm very carefully – especially for Flash Flood advisories from your local National Weather Service office.
