Hasn't there been a state of emergency already ordered?

State of Emergency

Ahead of the storm, Gov. Ron DeSantis on Saturday declared a state of emergency for 33 Florida counties, including the Tampa Bay Area, "out of an abundance of caution."

For something more on topic I wonder if the recent convective blowup over the core could be an actual indicator of strengthening or just arrested development. Heres a tweet and link to an article on arrested development. IF this isnt arrested development then things could get pretty interesting tonight

That link is for TS Franklin, not TS Idalia.

I’m aware but same principle for both. Franklin was just a good recent example.

Disagree, Idalia does not even have an established CDO yet so what's happening tonight is not in relation to CCC. Idalia's issue is shear ATM. Once convection can stay consistent and shear/minimal dry air can abate, this thing takes off. Pretty much...the vertical column is not stacked yet and that is Idalia's hinderance in the short term.

Really don't want this thing to take it's time moving ashore in those warm SST's. Not a great trend to have in this juncture. However...only real silver lining with a slower speed is it will increase the likelihood of an internal process such as an Eyewall Replacement Cycle being induced. Current forecast, showing Idalia moving ashore at a faster speed, does not support internal processes happening.

That buoy is displaying a legit pressure fall. Looking at that, IR, and most importantly radar, it looks like Idalia is trying to take this latest mesovortex and turn it into the beginnings of an inner core.

The longer the convective towers can fire absent disruptive shear and dry air intrusion, the more likely it’ll be able to go from mesovortex in a broader circulation to nascent inner core. Seeing convection try to rotate upshear on radar is a meaningful piece of data.

I agree, this is likely the beginning of an established inner core being developed. Very impressive to see this right now.
