Five Bay area counties, Pinellas, Hillsborough, Hardee, Manatee and Polk, are under a tornado watch until 11 p.m. Tuesday. A hurricane warning is posted from Egmont Key (mouth of Tampa Bay) north to near Perry in north Florida.
In Pinellas County, officials are urging residents to be ready for a three to five foot storm surge at the beach.
Pinellas Sheriff Bob Gualtieri says he plans to keep deputies on the streets overnight, but that is subject to change. Right now Pinellas beaches are expected to experience winds no higher than 50-55 mph overnight. If winds go higher, that may lead to deputies seeking shelter until the winds pass.
