Not only do we have warmth, we have mugginess. The dew point up to 76 in tampa. Similar to yesterday, were going to have this easterly flow, a lot off moisture in of moisture in play but with drier air above, only hit and miss showers and thunderstorms expected as we go into this afternoon. The over all coverage is going be fairly limited but the heat will be around. 92 degrees this afternoon and over the next couple of days, we will bring back that rain chance as more moisture streams well take a look at that and well talk ant a cool down about a cool down heading our way.

Spaghetti models. The general trend is is to curve the system back to the northeast. Its a con sense sus as to consensus as to how far south it is. Wednesday at 2 00 p. M. Six per mile an hour winds the most of tampa bay northern polk northward is in the cone. This is called a cone of air meaning it can wobble quite a bit which is why we have to maintain our vigil of watching this thing. Heavy rain, coastal flooding keep in mind the southern part is usually the strongest. As we look at the center and the Hurricane Hunters were just image rayry. You can imagery. You can see the thunderstorms to south are pushed farther to the south over the land mass of cuba itself. Thats where the bulk of activity has been this afternoon. Thats not good for a system. That and try air which there is still plenty of in the midz and high levels of the mid and high levels of the atmosphere. We like those influences on the storm to weaken it or not allow it to streth if that trend carries on well talk about
Its a tropical wave right now near puerto rico. In the short term, it doesnt have a big possibility of developing but longterm, about an 80 chance. Later information on hurricane gaston, still 75 Miles Per Hour winds. It should weaken by to a Tropical Storm and then strengthen again but it stays out to sea. And now lets focus on the one that has more impact on a lot of land masses. Right now, 45 Miles Per Hour winds and pretty sure its going to head right into the bahamas. Thats what every model says. The problem s once it gets into the problem is, once it gets into the bahamas, it will have the possibility of strengthening quickly and we dont like that because its close to florida. Saturday afternoon, most of the models take it through south florida and into the gulf of mexico. Which would increase our rain chances locally. Of course, how big those rain chances are and how big the effects will be determined by the eventual track as well as how strong that system is. Of 92 degrees. Tha

Tracking hermine. And jamel lanee live in Clearwater Beach. Ryan hughes in cedar key. And Ed Bloodsworth is in tampa monitoring the conditions for us this morning. Yeah, you mentioned it, gayle, a huge system. This extends from North Carolina on the north side to the central gulf of mexico. And we are stuck in the middle as the system did make land fall at 1 30 with 80 Miles Per Hour winds, making it a category one hurricane near st. Line there. But so significant that it made land fall as a category one hurricane. Believe it or not, its been 11 years since florida has seen a land falling category one hurricane or larger. So very, very unusual to have gone that long. But now we have what is left of this system affecting the tampa bay area. We have been inundated with rain over the last two days.
