Ceremony of the receive olympics . Unbelievable. Some of the highlights are mind blowing. Yeah, take a look. Many of of you are talking about this as well, the epic entrance of japans Prime Minister in disguise. A big tease for the tokyo olympics. Much more just ahead. But first, a check on the monday forecast. Yeah, im all for a mario brothersthemed olympics. Tokyo 2020, cant wait. 81 80 in st. Pete. Sarasota, starting off at 79, kids heading back to school. A warm start, 75, a couple degrees cooler in wimauma this morning. The rain chances, only a few thunderstorms yesterday. And im thinking a similar set up is in place for today. Only about a 20 shot of a shower on 75 and points towards the coast. And slightly better chances inland. We will bump up to 30 by then. In the meantime, not much to cool us down, those up to 92 degrees. Again, you will be hoping for a cooling showers and thunderstorms. Coming up, we will talk about the tropics and we have three systems were keeping our eyes
How it is looking . Yeah, busy in the tropics and that is to be expected this time of year as we head into the heart of Hurricane Season which typically peaks on september 10th. 61 of storms form in august or september. Right now, we have the tropical depression fiona. Thats losing its tropical characteristics likely in the next 24 hours. We have tropical we will show thaw in a moment. First, a quick check. That is expected to quickly become a category one hurricane, possibly as soon as tomorrow. The track takes it into the middle of the atlantic. No concern with it. Invest 99l, the model takes it through the lesser antilless. A 60 chance of develop into a tropical system within the next system, it has a chance to impact either florida, somewhere in the southeastern united states. No cause for concern just yet but of course, this time of the year we will watch that closely. We are watching traffic as well. And so far, looks good. We have overnight construction in sarasota but right now
For gayle. I love the way you said friday. Thats the most important word. We need to go to weather. Reporter better than friday, the invest system is getting weaker. Gaston was a hurricane get, and now back to a Tropical Storm it should regain hurricane status, but even as it strengthens to a category 2, it will sea this is invest 99l, and this is southern bahamas, and north of cuba. I will show you the next few hours, and its basically going to head between the bahamas and cuba this thing may completely fall apart, but if it stays over the warm waters in southern florida or south of florida, it has the potential to strengthen a bit, and then bigger development there, and most of the computer models have it just off the coast, and that means an enhanced rain chance. Today a hot one. 93 above the average of 90. At 4 08, i will take you specifically through the week. Theres overnight work out there, and lets move over to the howard start things bridge to start things off. They did not gi
But its not, right, leigh . Its not. We still have Tropical Storm hermine in the gulf of mexico. So all day today and tomorrow, the counterclockwise wind flow will rotate in thunderstorms and at some point, heavy rain. Look at the red shaded area along the panhandle, thats a hurricane warning meaning hurricaneforce conditions are expected within 36 hours. For citrus, hernando and pasco, you remain under a Tropical Storm warning meaning tonight could feel Tropical Stormforce winds as the system passes to the north. Heres the latest forecast track. Again, the 60 Miles Per Hour winds, it didnt necessarily get any stronger winds. The pressure did come down a bit so basically getting stronger. And also picking up forward speed. Its now moving north, northeast at 12 Miles Per Hour. By this afternoon, still headed toward the panhandle with 65 Miles Per Hour winds but heres the kicker, sometime between this afternoon and early, early tomorrow morning, it may become coming onshore. And then hea
Strengthen. It has winds of 35 Miles Per Hour now. Its going to drift toward the central gulf of mexico today and tomorrow. During that time, it should become a Tropical Storm. And by 2 00 p. M. On wednesday, you can already see it starting to make the turn to the northeast. Between 2 00 p. M. On wednesday anding the a. M. On thursday, our weather will start to wednesday and 2 00 a. M. On thursday, our weather will start to deteriorate. And between 2 00 a. M. On thursday and 2 00 a. M. On friday, thats the worst of the weather. This could come onshore anywhere from panama city all the way down here to tampa. But generally the models bring it in north of citrus county, around the big bend of florida. And that would puts on the Southern Side of the storm which would be the worst area of the storm. And then heads into the atlantic ocean. We dont have to werely about it anymore past the weekend. To worry about it anymore past the weekend. Right now, Hurricane Hunters tracking them with gps
