Transcripts For WFTV America This Morning 20160216
That is it, brian, we look for bound reak echo regions, you want to see heavy rain and a very weak region on the reflectivity of array car that would indicate the twist of a potential tornado, it is very broad near the rock ledge area, the fact that we have groans bounded by the yellows an oranges shows there is at least some broad rotation at the surface, its not a fancy game mick, it really lets us intire gate the storm and analyze this, make sure what we see on a flat perspective is holding through on a 3d perspective, this echo region goes above 10,000 feet, its a strong one, that is something i wanted to you do in real time, lets back here, flip it back to flat view, well go over this one more time. Get back to the vma, if you are viewing us this morning from the orlando area, the tornado orlando, this is for brevard and oceola county, squall line works its way flew, again we are still following this potentially tornadic storm moving through central
Brevard County
, getting you back to velocity, it is the easiest way you can still see it, look at that. Absolutely, brian. Hanging together for and hour now. The nature of the storm hadnt changed much, the rotation area may have broadened a little bit, you are seeing a couple different notches here as well, its not going to be one area, there could an couple different areas where we could see some rotation, any of those could drop a brief tornado, the
Weather Service
fired off a
Tornado Warning
until 5 00 a. M. And now you are starting to see as we were mentioning, brian, some of the stronger winds moving into more
Populated Areas
5 0060mile an hour winds, that is across the grace wills point. You mentioned a couple different areas, winds 50
Miles Per Hour
, williams point, sharps, port st. John, tornado precautions, lowest level of your home, apartment complex, we need you down on the lower level in case we have the potential tornado moving in. That rotation really has been hanging together, we mentioned about 20 minuting a stay off i 95 for good reason, this is moving in, down even through 0 rock ledge, rusty i noticed, weve got heavier storms, but the potential tornado in port st. John in 8 minutes have the shoes on in case we have debris or glass, sunglasses on, a bike helmet, too. Be safe, lowest level of your home, 11 minutes as we get into cocoa. This is the
Tornado Warning
until 5 00, the next 27 kfc, we are go to go watch out for this. 5 20 in rock ledge, heavy rain, heavy wind moving in. Lets expand out slightly, this is where the potential tornado is and
Tornado Warning
until 5 00. We are not going to get good confirmation over the last 30 minutes of a tornado, locations its been passing through so rural. So even if we had something on the ground its not like we have ground truth on this. But this is the line, too, expending back into has see ola county, racing through harmony, lots of viewers here, down toward keen andville, watching out for the notches, not at the surface just above, all of this from as see ola county, yeha junction, not a warning out for this area, we are going to watch out for, i want you prepared to know what is going sections of brevard, you can see it yourself the brighter colors moving in, very strong winds moving across i 95, not just northern sections of brevard but southern sections, too, melvin, grant, mico all of that working in, heaviest weather now you see the lightning on top of it much when you see the reds even some of the purples on the radar that is the very heavy rain, if we have a tornado it is going to be rain wrapped, very difficult to see, hey brian its dark outside, its difficult to see either way. Moving across i95 right now. Lets get a look at velocity mode, if we can, rusty, weve had couple areas, a couple little notches port st. John, down to the south,. This is coming south, so you can see again we use different modes here, its not as rusty was saying not to be fancy, dissect these storms, we have 3 d version of it, velocity of it. Not just the heavy rain falling but we need to see where this darn thing is twisting and spinning up. These are markers put out by some of our kit a showing some early indications of rotation, polk, oceola,
Brevard County
, impressive how long this has been hanging together, the sign the of rotation. We dont have one super well defined point right now, we have a couple different areas we are watching for the potential, tornado ef0, ef1, more
Populated Areas
of
Brevard County
. Yeah, that rotation is broadened, that is one good thing you can see the main core has weakened, the problem with that now is when you start to lineup the storms, as those storms move in there could belittle notches of rotation and its very difficult brief tornado, you need to stay weather aware in
Brevard County
, melbourne, palm by area as that line of storms moves through. This is still the main concern area, as that storm moves off to the northeast at 25 miles and hour, heavier wings across i95, u. S. 1 is next, moving over to the intercoastal and
Merritt Island
area. Full screen, i am going to do a storm track for you where we still have rotation and the
Weather Service
,
Tornado Warning
still in effect until 5 00, for the next 23 minutes this storm is moving off to the northeast right now at 25 miles and hour, if again no confirmed tornado, but brian and i have been keeping a close eye on this, and brian as you mentioned, i mean this is one that we are really watching, there is a couple other areas as well, another one across 192, that is the bright greens that you see right now, because you are not seeing greens and reds together, friends, what that means those are
Straight Line
winds, being pushed in one direction, when you are looking at 60mile an hour winds across i 92 that is not fun driving, and we have more
Severe Weather
in
Brevard County
. Looking at the radar itself right now, brian, those storms are beginning to increase a little bit in intensity. Melbourne, palm bay, grand buck area. No doubt, when this is the area we were talking about 2 00 3 00 this morning, some other spots had good
Old Fashioned
rain, that helped to stabilize the atmosphere, you dont get the bigger storms pop ugh up, rusty was talking about potential of rotation, see some of our markers pop willing up, not down at the surface we could see some rotation along this line, rusty, do you mind putting a track on this in
Brevard County
for our friends in shout earn brevard, im still thinking about harmony, you have heavy weather working in, left of st. Cloud, kissimmee, celebration, we have heavy rain moving off east, northeast, roughly at 40, larger picture pivoting around, that means we are going to have to update the timing on this. 23 minutes in palm shores things going downhill. Lightning off to the west. Melbourne about 29 minutes. So again, yes, the
Tornado Warning
to the north. Nasty weather, you dont want to be outside in this either. We are going on 4 40 right now, we are going to hang with you. Marion county, summer county we would be on air, too, this time it really happens to be the focus from oceola, orange and brevard counties, as we put this into motion it is going to go downhill quickly in southern sections of
Brevard County
. Northern zones is where we have the tornado watch or warning that is up. This is the whole broad picture,
Severe Weather
, lake is over, just some showers, by the way, this is going to be it are for the day, we are going to turn sunny as we hit the afternoon today. So this is our weather moving in over the next two hours,
Severe Weather
threat pole ec county, western sections of orange county, looking much better although it is wet if this morning but we are watching eastern sections of oceola county into
Brevard County
for the heaviest weather working in. You see the red shadings, orange shadings showing up in
Brevard County
. A new warning up, did they is that
Tornado Warning
up but the new warning a
Severe Thunderstorm Warning
up until ac 30. There you go. Until 5 45, that is exactly what we were just talking about, we are here with eye ren, george, rusty here, obviously. That includes central, southern sections of
Brevard County
just where we were talking about. So even if we done have a tornado in these zones, we are going to have winds over 60
Miles Per Hour
with a blinding wind driven rain, too. So clearly you done want to be caught on i95 as that moves tractor trailer. Some nasty weather with that line from oceola county, that will be moving into
Brevard County
. This new warning includes mel burn, palm bay, mel burn, melbourne village, grab, right near micco until ac 45, that is a
Severe Thunderstorm Warning
. Also we have that tornado watch. We cant rule out an isolated tornado in this sector but looking at
Straight Line
winds as the main factor, you got some good
Old Fashioned
rain, there is that line, this is the brevard oceola county line, that is a work across and that is why that warning has been issued up for the next 1 hour, delay that commute in central and southern
Brevard County
for one more hour, then i promise you well get more sunshine working in. Damages winds, we could have power out ands this morning, tree limbs down, that is a possibility, watching out for debris as well, back to the have the
Tornado Warning
out for the next 18 minutes, northern
Brevard County
, central and northern
Brevard County
, this is where we need to take tornado precautions, weve got a few areas which tells me, i have been here for a long time in central florida, we may have nothing, get a quick drop of ef 0 tornado. Goes back up, but that can cause some damage and that is why that warning has beenish youded, i95, kfc,
Merritt Island
, doors away from windows. Rusty and i have been tracking this rotation, we are seeing a few pockets of weaker rotation that is why i mentioned we could get a quick, brief tornado. Courtney in about 2 minutes moving in audubon,
Cape Canaveral
, we are looking at wind gusts rusty at 60 miles and southern
Brevard County
. Yeah, brian there is no doubt northern side of that cell has weakened a bit, the wind rotation that broadened, you are still seeing gusty winds,
Tornado Warning
still infect until 5 00 a. M. For this area that we just mentioned right now. Southern
Brevard County
as brian mentioned, the threats for the storms including the melvin area we are going to see 60mile an hour winds, possibility up to quarter size hail, heavy rain and a lot of cloud to ground lightning. Not good driving in
Brevard County
over the next hour, but the good news is with this as i analyze this on the air for you right now, see a couple areas of weaker inflow with this storm, we dont have that one tight rotation, when i query the winds right now you dont see it as strong, even this next image that we just received in live, it looks even worse right now. There is still some areas where would be right across the 528 there between cocoa and
Cape Canaveral
areas moving across the intercoastal heading offshore, right near the cape, the potential for at least strong damaging winds, let me get on to
Brevard County
perspective, the other thing we are going to have to start deal with, is what is going to be happening in the melbourne area, notice what is happening back a long the oceola brief and county line, see all the light green those are very strong winds in one direction so that is
Straight Line
winds not going to be a rotational concern at least right now, when i query those winds you are looking at winds at 30
Miles Per Hour
, up to 60 miles and hour, those are the winds that are moving into the
Brevard County
area in the next 5 minutes and over towards melbourne as well, this is a wall of water that is going to be moving in, let me switch radar sights. If you live in melbourne as heaviest stuff right now is only about 9 miles, 20 minutes why is way from melbourne, the
Weather Service
indicating 60 mile an hour winds, quarter sized hail possible in the melvin area with
Severe Thunderstorm Warning
that guess until 5 45, so for the next hour there warning is up. That is a pretty long warning for the
Weather Service
to issue right now, they feel pretty strong that this storm will continue to have severe criteria for it again. Tornado warning in effect, northern
Brevard County
until 5 00 a. M. ,
Severe Thunderstorm Warning
Brevard County
until 5 45, broader perspective, i want to put the entire radar on, if you are drowning us here, this
Severe Weather
threat has passed metro orlando, mainly focused in oceola and
Brevard County
, there is rain up into volusia county, orange county, the main show in town is with that line that pushes through brief and good piece of knew toss talk about is watch news to talk about is watch this line of shore. It is going to turn out gorgeous, a lot of sunshine working in, i 4 back to the northwest, we are okay. We are already drying out, its really to the southeast that we are going to continue with the
Severe Weather
threat, 4 46 right now, we are on tv because weve got
Severe Weather
working in, that
Tornado Warning
out, they are going to keep that going until 5 00,
Severe Thunderstorm Warning
, biggest threat oceola into brevard, we were pinpointing this with that line working in right about now, there it is, this is going to give us damaging winds, yes, this could still drop a brief tornado, ef 0, ef1, a typical tornado that can cause some damage, is have the shoes on in case there is degree or glass like that. With the potential of damaging winds and winds in this line thats working in here, 60 even 70
Miles Per Hour
, what is going on to happen here, this is about to hit i95, there is our ray consider sight, network of ray considers scanning through this storm, couple markers showing early rotation, this is racing across 6070 mile per hour winds, old tree, tree limbs done that is possible, that is why i want you in doors we are going to be safe and away from those windows,
Power Outages
this morning, we are going to lose power, tree limbs come down, if they clip power lines, not to pension we do have a significant amount of lightning in this area, too. We could see transformers getting blown out, too. So we are going to continue to dissect this line for you for any signs of rotation, lets put a track on this now broad working in to
Brevard County
, we are in about 3 minutes heavy weather moving in, 7 at palm shores, melvin downhill at 8 minutes. Stay with us because with that said, we are going to update this timing as all this pivots around, well adjust the timing for you some. Satellite beach we have rain, 12 minute that is working in. West melbourne 15 minutes. Mel burn beach 23 minutes. This is wind we could get some of the worse weather. Moving from i95 toward a 1 a, and then there is our radar sight we are using. Including our live million watt radar we get to choose that gives us the best advantage point. What we are doing now is giving us a scan to see if we have a twisting motion, you do see some brighter colors in some spots at least showing that we that are very aggressive now moving across some of the landing sights, look at the wind, those are brighter colors, winds at 75, wind 6070
Miles Per Hour
. This is the torn warned area, this cell moving in now has had a history of some rotation in both polk, oceola and brevard counties. Kind of broad areas of rotation at this point. Heavy rain, gusty winds, that is the greatest threat. Then we draw our attention down to the south. What does this mean for the morning driver you are usually out the door at 5 006 00, we are going to see a lot of sun i gorgeous day moving in, so southern
Brevard County
if you are watching me, delay that commute giving and hour, well give you the rest of the day, you dont want to be out in this any way, its a nasty weather working in, heavy rain, popping up, that is a blinding rainfall moving in, lots of lightning in this, too. So this sector here, the
Severe Thunderstorm Warning
out until 5 45 just to the north, we have that
Brevard County<\/a>, getting you back to velocity, it is the easiest way you can still see it, look at that. Absolutely, brian. Hanging together for and hour now. The nature of the storm hadnt changed much, the rotation area may have broadened a little bit, you are seeing a couple different notches here as well, its not going to be one area, there could an couple different areas where we could see some rotation, any of those could drop a brief tornado, the

That rotation really has been hanging together, we mentioned about 20 minuting a stay off i 95 for good reason, this is moving in, down even through 0 rock ledge, rusty i noticed, weve got heavier storms, but the potential tornado in port st. John in 8 minutes have the shoes on in case we have debris or glass, sunglasses on, a bike helmet, too. Be safe, lowest level of your home, 11 minutes as we get into cocoa. This is the
Tornado Warning<\/a> until 5 00, the next 27 kfc, we are go to go watch out for this. 5 20 in rock ledge, heavy rain, heavy wind moving in. Lets expand out slightly, this is where the potential tornado is and

So this sector here, the
Severe Thunderstorm Warning<\/a> out until 5 45 just to the north, we have that
Tornado Warning<\/a> that has been issued and that guess in, that is still with us the next 10 minutes. We didnt use the tools just for fun, we use them to see what is going on inside the storm. We are peering into it. This is something we see in the summertime, this is 10,000 feet here, 20 here, 30,000 feet here. Typically, not always but typically the taller the storm the stronger the storm, up to 4050,000 feet, a nasty storm and in this wind damage that is going to be the greatest threat as this rolls in. That is an impressive storm for this time of year to have it top 50,000 feet, that storm coming into the melbourne area is going to be adosee, the winds associated, the winds are but then you are going to have wing gusts up to 70 miles and hour, that is why the national
Weather Service<\/a> issued the
Tornado Warning<\/a>, also because of the height the of this storm, still in our cool season that means the freezing level is lower in the atmosphere, hail is more of a concern, that is why we see penny, time, nickel size hail, the national
Weather Service<\/a> says up to quarter sized hail, all the change, money type size hail is a possibility out of this. I am just using our million watt
Doppler Radar<\/a> to kind of scan this line of storms, of course if you joined me earlier, one thing i was looking at was the potential for rotation with this storm, that we have the weak echo region, that i have not seen up in the rock ledge area. This is till and care that has not seen weather yet so far, so the atmosphere is not raked over, up and down that line, potential to see rotation in those storms, i have not seen that much, that yellow icon that you see right there that will be mid level broad rotation, when we start to get the oranging and reds in the icons, those are indicative of low level rotation, more of an indication there could shall a tornado more eminent than what we are seeing right now. We had a lot of mid level, so not right at the surface, earlier we had plenty of red spinning around, telling us we may have had a tornado, it may never be confirmed puts the want to hang with you as we dissect this line, we could get a quick drop of a very weak tornado, tornado in itself not necessarily weak but we are talking ef0, ef1, quick drop of a tornado possible now with this line rotation not as pronounced as earlier, biggest threat is going to be tree limbs down, power line issues and
Power Outages<\/a>, you see the line racing into patrick air for business. So lets put an up date on this,
Severe Thunderstorm Warning<\/a> out for these sections for the next 45 minutes, this is going to move into lotus, heavier rain over my shoulder, we are talking about winds 60 plus, lots of lightning, very heavy rain, quick inch or two of rain even though this is moving fast it is going to dump on us. Palm bay in about 12 minutes. Malibar, 1520 minutes. That is where we are going to see the heaviest weather. Now here is the line we are watching, and as we mentioned weve been in here all night. We havent had a lot of action in
Brevard County<\/a>, had a few showers so the atmosphere much more ripe, riper for some
Severe Weather<\/a> that is why we are seeing some things going, moving into south patrick,
Patrick Air Force<\/a> base across i 95, all of this action moving east, northeast. The
Tornado Warning<\/a> to the north still up the next 6 minutes it looks like mostlily that will expire, the rotation is not as pronounced but a lot of that is moving offshore so it makes sense we would be have a warning at that point. So we are looking at our southern zones, if we could bride in out, get a grasp what is going on, i want to let all of us know what is happening, if we have a tornado, letting happening, we cover all our friends here, marion county, flagler counter, volusia, seminole, orange, lake and summer that
Severe Weather<\/a> threat is over, we are going to be drying, even oceola county moving away, confined to
Brevard County<\/a>. So the
Severe Weather<\/a> threat right in that sector there much the rest of the day is actually going to look gorgeous, i want to give you some good news, too. I dont want anyone a larged this is an all day
Severe Weather<\/a> event, we are talking about the next hour, when i see at 6 00 we are going to have a different story, looking at the lightning strikes it he will its us, too some energy of the storms, weve had 312 lightning strikes with this. So we are seeing lightning, heavy rain and very strong if not damaging winds moving into
Brevard County<\/a>, still watching out for especially the next 45 minutes while that
Severe Thunderstorm Warning<\/a> is up for the tornado watch itself was issued very early this morning, it did include polk county that has been dropped, that
Severe Weather<\/a> threat central and western zones we are done with, tornado watch is still up for at least the next couple hours in our southern zones, but that is going to expire once this line moves off, this is the last line we are watching. We have a tornado warn that go is up including kfc, toward
Cape Canaveral<\/a> until 5 00 this morning. Another 3 minutes that looks like it is going to expire. Good news there. Then we get to the south you see the yellow box there, that is the
Severe Thunderstorm Warning<\/a>. That is out until 5 45, and that is where the worse weather is now, central and southern
Brevard County<\/a>, small chance of a tornado,
Straight Line<\/a> damaging winds that is going to be the biggest threat as this rolls in, you see some of the brighter colors now, we are just tracking that on the time frame for you, you see it knocking on the door of west in just on the cusp of palm bay, hang off on that dry, 5 00 5 30, give me 30 minutes. You also see the lightning, simply put, crossing i95 now very strong if not damaging winds that could be moving in. Thats done with, this is where its melbourne beach, grant, malibar we have rain right now, so i95 just a up could he will minutes away from some of the heaviest weather that will be working in. So we are 2 minutes now from the
Tornado Warning<\/a> expiring in northern earn sections of
Brevard County<\/a>, 45 minutes of this warning because of this line back to the west still needs to roll through and we could still have some issues with power here, and some wind damage, too, rusty as this continues to race in. Brian trying to get a storm bottom line as you mentioned its going downhill pretty bad for us. The bottom line is we have to keep a close eye what is handing in this area, that is where the potential for
Severe Weather<\/a> is after 5 00 a. M. , i flee expect
Weather Service<\/a> to let the
Tornado Warning<\/a> expire at 5 00 because that rotation has broadened out but also as brian mentioned its moving offshore, so the strongest area from lets say rock ledge to the north is offshore, we are going to have to worry about melbourne, palm bay. Florida, nick could, grant,. 60 miles and hour and quarter sized hail, even this time of the year. It is going to be a light show, there is going to be a ton of we will stay with you. Tornado expiring we have a
Severe Thunderstorm Warning<\/a> until 5 45 am. We will watch for the warning expiring over the next few seconds and severe storm warning and hang with you to the warning as it races through
Brevard County<\/a>. 5 am joining us on
