Tropical Storm Ida is now expected to be at or near major hurricane strength when it approaches the US Gulf Coast, according to the latest public advisory issued by the National Hurricane Center (NHC) at 05:00 EDT.

In its previous advisory the NHC said it “could” be close to such strength when it nears landfall.

The storm has strengthened with maximum sustained winds reaching 45mph, as it is now passing through the Cayman Islands.
