Tropical Depression in Inland Palm Beach County, Florida

Maximum sustained winds were in the 25 to 30 mph range, with gusts 40-50 mph, across inland Palm Beach County. Wind damage was minimal.

The center of Hurricane Idalia passed about 180 miles west of Naples as a Category 2 moving north over the eastern Gulf of Mexico. The outermost edge of Idalia's tropical storm force wind field skirted the SW Florida Gulf coast, and a few outer rain bands moved through South Florida on August 29th and 30th bringing brief tropical storm force wind gusts. A storm surge of about 3 feet, combined with high astronomical tides, led to minor coastal flooding in Collier County during the high tide cycles on August 29th and 30th.
