so you see the shape of this, how it's just getting tucked in toward appear lachie bay. that's what the -- appal achee bay. that's what the storm path shows. on the other side of the storm system, you get the significant component of onshore flow. it'll stay that way for several hours' time. you throw that in conjunction with the fact that this is an incredibly poorly timed major hurricane with the super moon today. now, we're expecting it to peak today. these were already going to be some of the highest high tides of all of 2023, and now you've got a surge that's helping to assist that. jane just pointed out the pinhole eye. when you got the smaller inner cores where you can see the darker reds and the purples, these smaller cores can intensify much more quickly, jane. that's what we're expecting this go around. this is likely going to be up to
cat 4 status before it makes landfall. >> jane: you can see the deeper convection bubbling up on the southwestern side of the eye. you know, as that continues to wrap around, we consider the dirty side of the storm up across the northeast. that's going to help bring in the tightening of that eye circulation, the intensification happening especially as that pinhole potentially gets a little bit smaller but you can see already the outer rain bands making their way on shore. the 60 mile-per-hour gusts as you mentioned there in sarasota. this is a classic textbook form of what you would consider a major hurricane. you know, you get those outer rain bands that continue to shift in, and it's within those individual bands and now you have smaller, you know, more isolated threats of wind gusts, tropical storm force winds, but also, too, the tornado threat. we don't want to forget there's a tornado watch in place for the western coast of florida up around the big bend as the bands shift their way through. >> ian: a look at some of these gusts. you've got apalachicola up to 2.
up in levy county. from north to south, the national weather service office has got to be a couple hundred miles you're forecasting, sarasota, you've got a much lower surge but for the northern counties, this is practically a worst-case scenario for surge. >> oh, absolutely. you couldn't have said it be better. worst-case scenario for surge across the big bend area, leavy, citrus and dixie counties as well. in fact, i got a report from one of our forecasters, sarasota is still getting wind, gusts up to 60 or 70 miles per hour. that's the highest wind gusts we've seen from a land-based site so far. so the wind is there as well. like you said, a low-end or category 4 hurricane now is forecast to make landfall across the big bend, nature coast area early this morning. that's what we're looking at and the impacts of what we'll be
what we consider the dirty side of the storm, the northeast of the center of circulation where that eye sits. these wind gusts continues to climb. don't pay too much mind to the drop in the data there. that's just bad data that's come in in the last couple of minutes. you can see consistently up to hurricane force strength. potentially, we'll see that as this storm comes closer. >> ian: jane this particularly buoy is referenced in the latest discussion from the national hurricane center, the advisory that they put out. cody, what'd you say? about 30 miles or so from the inner core? this isn't even sampling the worst, of course, as we're waiting on the hurricane hunters to do that, but you do see, jane, some gusts approaching 70 miles per hour as measured by the buoy and that's not even close to the worst that idalia has to offer. >> jane: still to come. we're going to continue to track hurricane idalia expected to become a major hurricane before making landfall in florida. we are awaiting the next hourly update. this one will be a big one at the 2:00 hour from the national hurricane center.
