Tropical storm-force winds will begin to push in Wednesday across Central Florida.

As the storm moves closer as a projected major hurricane, it will have more impacts in Central Florida.

Hurricane-force wind gusts are possible for a large part of Central Florida for the middle and end of the week.

Expect power outages and downed trees if we have strong winds around for a long period of time.

Flooding could be a concern as heavy rain adds up to 10 inches or more in western zones. Many areas will see 6 to 8 inches of rain.
