Gov. Ron DeSantis activated the Florida State Guard and directed the emergency management division to prepare for severe weather on Tuesday.

According to The Weather Authority Chief Meteorologist Matt Devitt, the severity potential for the storm ranges from a Level 3 out of 5 in the Panhandle. Southwest Florida can expect a Level 1 – 2 impact locally.

Higher tides, gusts over 40 mph and the potential for tornadoes is possible during the storm. While there is still a chance for these intense conditions in Southwest Florida, harsher conditions can be expected closer to the Panhandle.

DeSantis urged Florida residents via X to be prepared for Tuesday.
