You can see on skytower radar that big mess of rain has been slowly inching its way towards the coastline all morning long. If youre washing good day with Dave Osterberg it is showing out getting closer and closer we see individual cells that would make its way on shore. Now were getting into that time where we will start to see more and more persistent rain and embedded in that will be some heavier cells. In fact, you can see basically from clearwater down the coastline, there you see some very heavy rain. These tropical downpours individual cells are racing on to the north. Then north, northwest right now probably about 30 to 35 miles an hour. Down through the south, manate and sarasota, this is just off your coastline. Just starting to work its way up towards longboat and anna maria. Down towards venice. Some of this brushing along the coastline as you get into central Sarasota County. But kind of take that big wide view and you can see this is really, been a lopsided storm. That left hand or that western side of the storm. Theres been some drier air. Some stronger wind sheer. All strong convection is also sitting on righthand side. Problem that is exactly where we are. So its all going to work it is way over the state this afternoon into tonight. Probably not until some time late tonight or early tomorrow morning that this center of this will actually make land fall up into the big bend or the panhandle area. You look at some of the winds, these are wind gusts from out into the gulf of mexico. There you see that grabs your eyes winds gusting up to 54 miles an hour. Very close to center of storm. And even along the coastline, remember were still we will call it beginning stages of this. And the winds are sustained out of the south right now at 24 miles an hour in st. Petersburg. And were seeing some winds gusting in sarasota. Up to 32 miles an hour. And these are just going to continue to increase as these heres the latest coordinates, these are the 11 00 a. M. Coordinates, 27. 4 degrees north. 86 degrees west. Top winds riding now still at 65 miles an hour. Strong Tropical Storm in and motion is moving to north, northeast right now at 14 miles an hour. The pressure continues to fall in the system, so it looks like it will continue to strengthen. So theres that distinct possibility this could actually be a hurricane just prior to making land fall. Winds about 75 some time late this evening and then racing across georgia and up into the carolinas. Heres watches and warning you can see we Tropical Storm warning out from anclote to swau knee and a hurricane warning to mexico beach and Tropical Storm warnings over on eastern side of the state. So this is basically what we can expect as we go through this afternoon into this evening. Winds will start to turn more to starts at 1 oclock this afternoon. And then that goes until 1 oclock tomorrow. So along the coastline basically from pinellas to the south, were looking at that surge of about 1 to three feet. Obviously you got to deal with high surf, the rip currents, not a good day to even try to get out into the water. As you you work your way to north. Once you get to anclote where that Tropical Storm warning is in effect. So youre going to see Tropical Storm conditions expect to see that winds in an hour. As you get closer and closer to the center youre going to dealing with more and more of that surge. You can get an idea winds coming up from the southwest how it will pile that water up along the coastline. So 4 to eight foot surge along the coastline. Obviously youre dealing with flooding rains as well. We will talk a lot more about this and a lot more maps to show you and talk brief you on all of that coming up in a little bit. Linda, thanks jim as you just said we will have more on canaveral an explosion has rocked spacex launch site. Nasa Officials Say spacex was test firing unmanned rocket just after 9 when this blast happened. Multiple explosions shook buildings several miles away and a dark cloud of smoke filled the air. You can see it there. Was routi anticipation of planned launch on saturday. Rocket was supposed to carry an israeli satellite into orbit. Spacex says no one was hurt in this blast, right now officials are checking for toxic its not just hermine that caused concerns in pasco counter. An electrical fire at bayonetin f more than 200 people. Can you imagine . Fox 13s aaron mesmer has an update on the situation. What can you tell . Whats happening today . Royal well linda what were hearing now is this fire was actually caused by a Lightning Strike at about 6 15 yesterday evening. So right now slowly getting up and running again. But still is no back up generator. And that by law has to it be functioning in order for the hospital to start reaccepting patients. So it doesnt seem like its going to fully reopen until monday. At least thats the target at this point. Lets back up to last night. Like i said of course to bayonet spokesperson cutter, that Lightning Strike hut its main power source on roof called full power outage one generator was destroyed and generator safe switch was disabled. Brief fire on roof. And he described the situation a completely dark powerless environment. So using flashlights and cell phone lights, staff began a full evacuation beginning with Critical Care patients. It took more 70 ambulance along with three ambulance buses to transport all 209 patients to other hospitals. He says this took a massachusetts effort to pull off without any major issues. Team of really the coordination of assets and personnel and highly trained individuals. It just all came together. And it was coordinate very well. Weve heard this same praise from a couple of patients. They said staff was so well coordinated, that an amazing job getting everybody out. Doctors, nurses even some volunteer and other Staff Members were literally holding lights in one hand and working anything they possibly could with the other. And some cases they wereve their patients before they moved them out and into the ambulances and ambulance buses to be transported to other hospitals around the area. Now one thing that might have actually helped in the response was the fact that the hospital was already in an emergency coming in with Tropical Storm r hermine possibly hitting the area. So there was already an emergency generator nearby. They were able to get that here, linda. Between an hour and an hour and a half. Might have been a long are time asking with that storm bearing down in the area. Still amazing that they pulled that off and took care of all of those people. Aaron, thank you. Allstate offices are closed right now and that is the order from governor rick scott. Weather whether identifies will be open tomorrow and it depends on what happens with Tropical Storm hermine. Pinellas county residents have been concerned about this sewage spilling into streets and homes. As fox 13s Alcides Segui reports, with more rain on the way as you saw, city officials are urging residents to r go easy on the water so sue wars can keep up. Gulfport st. Pete beach and Treasure Island send sewage water into st. Petersburg. Wall the rain, their Treatment Facilities are at capacity. So the city will likely have to release some water into the bay. Now to be clear, whats been released is not whats in your toilet. Its whats running off from your lawn. Pipes took beating yesterday. Millions of gallons of rain. Officials said all three plants capacity. And need to make move before the effects of the Tropical Storm hit the area. Theyve contacted the department of Environmental Protection to notify them they would likely be discharging partially treated water into the bay. Now back in june, Tropical Storm collin presented area with a very similar situation. The city was forced to dump ten million gallons of city sewage into the bay. Then, city of st. Petersburg actually spent about 4,000 at an additional of emergency storage at one of his treatment plans. So thats why the city urging folks to conserve as much water as possible. Try to hold off from washing dishes. And cleaning clothes. In temporary island Alcides Segui, fox 13 news. Thank you, alcides.

That means they are asking people to limit showers and washing dishes and clothes and anything that uses excess water. Main concern here the station and treatment falts are full.

And unfortunately s withstanding water and saturated soil and excessive rainfall, that waste water systems. Thats a common issue that wate have some rain water. Yesterday, very short d experiencing this summer and in the last several days, it, it has caused the system to be at full capacity and has begun causing issues with the system in terms of being able to move that much additional water, i wouldnt normally handle.

It was teams final preseason game against washington. The nfl and bucs moved game to last nights instead of tonight because of hermine. The bucs lost. Lost first game of regular season this sunday september lefrpt in atlanta. So jim i and i go got it tell you it looked a little miserable basically thing maybe worse tonight at 7, 8 oclock rain will be working its way in here already along coastline seeing heavy rain in Pinellas County ask working its way down to the south. You know were seeing some spin in some of the cells. So, right along the coastline, if youre in some rain, just not a good idea to maybe head outside. You want to see how heavy rain is coming down. Because you know there could an coastline and moving quickly. So you got that a really quick threat of maybe an isolated tornado in there. You dont want to really venture out in any of this. Skytower radar really showing a lot of rain out into the gulf of mexico. All sitting in on that righthand side of Tropical Storm hermine. The heavenest portion right now has working its way through Pinellas County. You can see, it is raining very heavily. Really from just to the south of palm harbor through clearwater into the Sunshine Skyway bridge. Notice how quickly these cells are just racing to the north. And probably about 30 to 35 miles an hour. And weve seen a little spins in some of these. So thats that threat you have to watch for that possibility of a quick water spout or tornado. Also down to our south, manatee and sarasota. Brushing right along the coastline. This entire mess will continue to nudge a bit further to the east as we head through the center here works its way to the north. Heading up into the big bend area. You can see all wet weather sitting on that righthand side. We always talk about the righthand side of the storm. Thats typically the stronger side of the storm. Exactly what youre seeing. All the weather, stronger winds, just because you got at that counterclockwise flow in that dryer air on that other side of the storm. Really, has kept the convection to a minimum on that side of the water vapor loop shows that drier air kind the backside of the storm. Its been staying away from the center so it looks like it will continue to strengthen at this point. Look at some of the winds, along the coastline, these have really come up really the past ten, 15 minutes with some of the squalls working their way through. Winds gusting up to 30 miles an hour in st. Petersburg. 26 in clearwater. You head down to sarasota. Winds gusting up to 32. Same down in venice. And sustained winds over 20 only going to get worse. As we go through the afternoon. Here latest coordinates 27. Fou north. 86 degree west. Top winds 65 miles an hour moving to north, northeast 14 miles an hour latest recon measured the pressure at 991. And it continues to fall at this point. So theres that forecast track in there still that distinct possibility that this could become a hurricane prior to making land fall. And remember on that righthand side winds coming up from t south and southwest, thats where you have that threat of the storm surge. Really from anywhere from anclote on to the north. You can see much larger storm surge. Tropical storm warning anclote to Suwannee River back to mexico beach. So this is what we expect to see as we go through afternoon into tonight. A Coastal Flood Advisory out for our coastline. That goes until 1 oclock tomorrow. Storm surge between 1 to three feet from pinellas down to the south. Got Tropical Storm warning. Winds in excess of 39 miles an hour. Even stronger as you head even up towards suwannee and points north. Storm surge between 4 to 8 feet. Obviously you got to deal with all flooding rains as well. You can see the worst of this will be up into the big bend. Heading up into the apalachicola bay where we can see that storm surge in excess of 8 to 10 feet in some locations. Look probably big edge concern will actually be through the overnight hours and into tomorrow morning. Oh so take note of those high tides. Thats when this wind is coming out of the southwest. You have that threat once again of that storm surge. Rainfall amounts 5 to 10 inches along the coastline. If youre in interior, were not forgetting about you, its just youre not going to be dealing with this as bad, youre looking a two to four inches rain head down to hardee, de soto and inches of rain and just breezy conditions. The worst conditions obviously are near the coastline in and awe get closer to a center increasing squalls and daytime high of 82. Then for tonight, continuing to rain. Continues windy. And overnight low of 77. For tomorrow, were going to continue with the rain. At least through Morning Hours in that High Temperature about 83 degrees. Small craft advisories out winds out south 30 to 45 knots. Dont go on water high heres your sevenday forecast, rain chances stay high into the first part of the weekend.

Well, meteorologist jim weber has been keeping a close eye on band of showers is starting to move across our coastal counties and cities. And twitter jim im seeing some flooding started already. Yeah. I would not doubt it because remember how much rain we saw in opinions county yesterday. Upwards of 9 inches of rain along the immediate coastline. So theres no where for this water to go a this point. Any additional rain is going to cause flooding and going to tend to cause a flooding pretty quickly. Now as you look at that wide view on skytower radar, you can the gulf and that heavy band embedded in that. Which is working its way over opinions county down into manatee and sarasota as well. Along the Sunshine Skyway bridge as well. You can see, the heaviest portion of this right now, basically cutting right up 275 in central and southern Pinellas County. And then cutting over towards clearwater. If youre up in northern Pinellas County over towards palm harbor up in tarpon your way in next few minutes. And also, we noted a lot of little spins in this in these individual cells as well. So theres that potential that we could see either quick water spout near coastline or a tornado. So this is not kind of weather you want to go venturing out in you can get a tornado forming in this very quickly in the cells are moving extremely fast. So they could move on top of you with very, very little notice. Now anywhere you see that shade, thats excess of 2 inches per hour rainfall rates. So that basically coming down just about as hard as it can. These are heavy, heavy tropical downpours. Down the coastline, into sarasota, into manatee county, near bradenton, out along the coastline inside cells seeing winds gusting over 30 miles an hour as well. So conditions, they are just going to continue to do down hill as we go through a. Noon and evening. You can see very lopsided stopper. The hurricane htes currently flying in the system. Level winds between about 60 to 75 miles an hour. So the system certainly looks like it continues to increase in strength. Wind gusts from buoys out into the gulf of mexico. Currently gusting up to 49 miles an hour. Along the coastline, you can see gusting up to 26 in clearwater. Down in sarasota, venice winds are currently miles an hour. More on the location, the track, the storm surge and high tides. Were talking about that in just a few minutes, linda. All right thanks, jim.

And this will continue throughout afternoon as more and more of this works its way on shore. Theres a live view from our st. Pete beach camera surf is picking up rain has been coming down pretty heavy as well. Actually weve watching a couple people running around on the beach. And thats really not a good idea. Because, inside some these cells weve been noticing some rotation. So theres that possibility of a quick water spout or tornado in with how quick these cells are moving. You dont want one of these to catch you outside in an unprotected area. There you can see surf really starting to build as well. In clearwater beach. Skytower radar active. Lots of storms out into the gulf of mexico. And heaviest portion right now has been working its way through Pinellas County. Bridge and down into manatee and sarasota. In fact, just a few minutes ago, as the biggest portion of this was moving through sarasota, their winds were gusting close to 50 miles an hour with winds sustained at about 40 miles an hour. Obviously inside these individual cells, you can get some very strong winds, and that in itself can cause damage as well. In these purple shaded areas, thats where the rain is coming down heaviestve per hour. So those heavy tropical downpours will continue across Pinellas County. Remember much pinellas yesterday between 7 and 9 inches of rain. So theres just nowhere for this water to go. And already, were starting to see some significant flooding across portions of Pinellas County. Its going to continue throughout afternoon. Down into sarasota there you can see that one cell that worked through there. Just a little bit ago. Racing on to the north. And more of this is kind of mexico. There you see the winds currently winds gusting up to 31 miles an hour in sarasota. But inside, those stronger cells. Thats where weve seen winds gusting currently close to 50 miles an hour. Center still sitting this, this about 220 miles off the coastline. And its continuing to race on now to the northeast. Heading towards the big bend. So, late tonight, into early tomorrow, thats when the expected land fall is. Notice how lopsided the storm is. All strong co righthand side of the storm. Where you see the purples magenta colors. Thats all strong convection. Center actually located right about here. And Hurricane Hunters have been flying out there. You can see right now, they are estimate surface wind at about 60 miles an hour in the location they are at right now. But, theyve measuring up to 65 miles an hour. Pressure continues to fall. So they are expecting system has that potential of being a hurricane prior to land fall. Are at 65 miles an hour. 27. 4 north. 86. 0 west. Its moving to north, northeast right at 14 miles an hour you see that track thinking that is could become a hurricane some time this evening. Prior to land fall. Thats why the hurricane warning is out from Suwannee River bach to mexico beach. South of there all way down to anclote, we do have a Tropical Storm warning you also see Tropical Storms on eastern side of the state so as we go through this afternoon into tomorrow, the winds are going to start to turn more toward that southwesterly direction. Weve got Coastal Flood Advisory. That goes until 1 oclock tomorrow afternoon. Storm surge along the coastline from pinellas south between 1 to 3 feet. Once you get to the north, were talking more of Tropical Storm force winds. Even north of there. Could see Hurricane Force winds for a brief time. And then, youre looking a storm the flooding rains as well along the coastline. 5 to 10 inches of rain. And in excess of that in some locations, the worst surgery will be as you head further to the north. Up into the apalachicola area. But even in the Citrus County you will dealing with significant surge along the coastal areas. So forecast goes like this 82 degrees increasing rain and squalls throughout afternoon. And into this evening. Even tonight we continue with windy weather. Rain and going linger into tomorrow as well. And scattered showers will continue into tomorrow. But by the weekend, things are going to start to clear out. By labor day things looking much better. With temperatures warming right back up. But at least for the next say 24 hours, at least. We will dealing with some pretty wet weather and some gusty winds. . You and me. . . Hey guys, im going to tell you what its like to be a fireman. .
