“I’ve teamed up with our state emergency management teams and meteorologists and sheriffs and others around the state to make sure everybody’s prepared," Scott said. “We’re in the middle of hurricane season everybody’s got get prepared."

Gordon will make landfall as a high-end tropical storm or low-end Category 1 hurricane, First Alert Meteorologist Mike Buresh said.

There is a chance for isolated tornadoes and waterspouts.

There is no impact on Jacksonville, but the Atlantic Basin is active and everyone is urged to have their hurricane plan ready.
