In the wake of impacting the Florida Peninsula throughout the end of the week, Irma will track inland over the southeastern U.S., debilitating flooding, harming winds and extreme climate over a substantial region.

Irma will put many lives in danger well inland from the drift. Occupants in northern Florida, Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee and South Carolina ought to foresee extreme effects from Irma.

Irma is the figure to track close to the Gulf shoreline of Florida and inland close Tallahassee through Monday morning. From that point, Irma will track crosswise over Georgia and Alabama Monday into Tuesday.

Twist whirlwinds to 80 mph, with locally higher blasts conceivable, will spread from Florida to southern Georgia and southeastern Alabama Monday.

"The typhoon drive winds ought to grow outward, particularly on the east side, to more than 300 miles on Monday," AccuWeather Hurricane Expert Dan Kottlowski said.

Twist of this extent can down trees and electrical cables and make harm frail structures.

Intermittent blasts in the vicinity of 40 and 60 mph will be felt crosswise over eastern Tennessee, northern Alabama, and Georgia, including the urban communities of Atlanta, Knoxville, Tennessee; Chattanooga, Tennessee; Birmingham, Alabama; and Augusta, South Carolina.
