Pinellas predicts the most critical period for this storm to be between 3 am and 2 pm Tuesday when tides and winds will reach their peaks.

Residents are encouraged to call (727) 464-4333 for Pinellas County information throughout this storm threat.

Red Cross is working to place three shelters on standby in north, mid and south Pinellas County, but officials do not expect to issue any evacuation orders.
