Description
With Florida in the cone of uncertainty of Tropical Storm Idalia — which is forecast to become a hurricane in the coming days — and the potential for impacts from the storm, there is the possibility the Tampa Bay area could see the "dirty side" of the storm.
But what do meteorologists mean when they say the "dirty side" of a storm?
The dirty side of a hurricane or tropical system is the right side of the storm with respect to the direction it is moving.
