A hurricane watch was issued for the tip of the Florida panhandle on Sunday afternoon, as Hurricane Ida strengthened to a category 2 hurricane while it bubbled in the Gulf of Mexico.
Fueling on the warm Caribbean Sea, Tropical Storm Ida gained speed and strength and was expected to become a hurricane Saturday night or Sunday morning as it moved north on a path that could threaten Florida Panhandle and other Gulf Coast states by next week.
A weakened Tropical Depression Ida emerged Friday into hot Caribbean waters and was expected to quickly regain strength as it moves north toward the United States and, possibly, landfall somewhere along Florida's Gulf Coast.
