As hurricane season moves forward in Florida, we’ve been keeping you updated on everything you need to know about Tropical Storm Elsa.

And, as the storm makes its way towards Florida, here is the latest update on the latest weather information and details!
The Orlando Sentinel has reported that Tropical Storm Elsa could pick up some strength as it moves along Florida over the next few days. At 8AM EST, the storm had reached 55 miles west of Key West and 240 miles south of Tampa. As it moves west-northwest at 12 miles per hour, Tropical Storm Elsa’s current storm-force winds can reach up to 70 miles.

Elsa is still projected to make landfall in Florida as it reaches Tampa at around 2AM on Wednesday morning. It’s expected to gain some strength before reaching Tampa.

Right now, Elsa is passing to the west and slightly north of Central Florida, so guests heading to parks can expect a rainy day. An Inland Tropical Storm Watch is currently in effect for Lake, Sumter and Marion counties, as a Hurricane Watch has been issued for the west-central area of Florida and Big Bend coast that stretches from Egmont Key to the Steinhatchee River.

The Weather Channel reports that winds of 20 to 30 miles per hour can be expected with gusts up to 40 miles per hour. However, some areas may even see high gusts of up to 60 miles per hour, so caution is advised. There are also northern parts of Florida that could see some flash flooding due to heavy rainfall. While Governor Ron DeSantis stated this morning that widespread evacuation wasn’t expected, Florida residents are still being urged to have preparations ready for the storm.

The Weather Channel has also reported Tropical Storm Elsa could near hurricane strength as it continues to near Florida. As we keep an eye on the storm, we’ll be sure to keep you updated on everything you need to know! Stay tuned with AllEars for the latest Disney news!
