>> PLUS, A CHANGE FOR THE QUEEN ELIZABETH PLATINUM JUBILEE AND WHY SHE DIDN’T ATTEND AN EVENT
.
. >> RIGHT NOW AT NOON, TRACKING THE TROPICSES A WE START TO FEEL
THE EFFECTS OF A SYSTEM THAT
COULD BRING SIGNIFICANT FLOODING
TO SOUTH FLORIDA THIS WEEKEND.
>> HERE’S A LOOK AT THAT TIME
STORM’S POSSIBLE PATH WITH A
TROPICAL STORM WARNING ISSUED
AND WE GO TO BRANDON FOR THE
LATEST.
>> THIS IS AN ADVISORY, NOT JUST
A TROPICAL STORM YET BUT
PRODUCING TROPICAL STORM FORCE
WINDS AND IT’S 40 MILES PER HOUR
BUT IT’S NOT ORGANIZED ENOUGH TO
BE CALLED A TROPICAL STORM.
WHEN IT DOES, IT WILL BE
TROPICAL STORM ALICE, POTENTIAL
CYCLONE NUMBER ONE.
THE CONE DOES FOCUS TO THE NORTH
OF OUR AREA, BUT DON’T FOCUS ON
EXACTLY WHERE THE CONE GOES
BECAUSE IT’S TO THE NORTH GOING
TO Ft. MYERS.
MOST OF THE IMPACTS WILL BE FELT
AWAY FROM THE CENTER OF THE
STORM ON THE SOUTHSIDE WHICH
COVERS ALL OF SOUTH FLORIDA, AND
THAT’S WHY OUR ENTIRE AREA IS
COVERED IN A TROPICAL STORM
WARNING BECAUSE WE’LL FEEL
TRANSFORM CONDITIONS AS EARLY AS
LATER TONIGHT.
THE WINDS ARE STARTING TO PICK
UP A LITTLE BIT IN PARTS OF THE
KEYS.
THIS IS WHY IT’S NOT A TROPICAL
STORM JUST YET.
THIS IS THE CENTER OF THE STORM
WITH THE THUNDERSTORMS BLOWN TO
THE ONE SIDE, A LOPSIDED STORM,
WHICH MEANS IT’S VERY
DISORGANIZED, BUT WHEN HURRICANE
HUNTERS FLY THROUGH THIS, AND
THEY HAVE BEEN, AND THE PLANE IS
FLYING THROUGH THIS AND THEY
FOUND ON THE DATA, MULTIPLE
CIRCULATIONS, NOT ONE CLOSED
CIRCULATION, AND UNTIL THEY FIND
ONE, THEY WILL HAVE A TROPICAL
STORM.
EVENTUALLY, WE’LL GET ORGANIZED
ENOUGH TO GET A CIRCULATION TO
BE TROPICAL STORM ALICE, BUT
UNTIL THEN, IT’S A TROPICAL
DISTURBANCE.
WE GET A DISTURBANCE WHETHER OR
NOT IT’S NAMED THE SAME.
WE’RE NOT GETTING THE IMPACTS
HERE IN SOUTH FLORIDA, THOSE ARE
STAYING PRETTY CONSISTENT.
WE HAVE THE HEAVY RAIN IN
SOUTH FLORIDA WITH THE HEAVY
BAND PUSHING THROUGH MIAMI-DADE
AND NOW MOVING INTO BROWARD, IN
FACT, THROUGH Ft. LAUDERDALE
ALONG 595 AND THIS IS PORT
EVERGLADES AND THIS IS THE
FLOODING, BECAUSE THE GROUND IS
ALREADY SATURATED, IT’S NOT GOOD
GOING INTO A STORM SYSTEM LIKE
THIS, SO WE HAVE A FLOOD
ADVISORY, TWO OF THE MANY ISSUED
IN THE NEXT 48 HOURS.
THIS IS FROM 1:45 TO 2:00
COVERING A CHUNK OF BROWARD AND
MIAMI-DADE.
DOWN TO THE KEYS, THE RAINS ARE
NOT AS HEAVY BUT THE WINDS ARE
STRONGER, WIND GUSTS OF 31 MILES
PER HOUR AND GUSTING CLOSE TO 40
IN THE KEYS AND THE MAIN IMPACT
IS THE HEAVY RAIN.
STILL EXPECTING FOUR TO EIGHT
INCHES, BUT THERE WILL BE SOME
NEIGHBORHOODS THAT PICK UP TO 15
INCHES OF RAIN, AND THAT COULD
CAUSE VERY SIGNIFICANT FLASH
FLOODING ACROSS SOUTH FLORIDA
ESPECIALLY LIGHT TONIGHT INTO
TOMORROW.
IF YOUR HOME OR BUSINESS IS VERY
PRONE TO FLOODING DURING HEAVY
RAIN EVENTS LIKE, THIS I WOULD
HAVE WHATEVER PREPARATIONS YOU
NEED, WHETHER IT’S SANDBAGGING
OR NOT, TO BE DONE IN THE COURSE
OF THE AFTERNOON ESPECIALLY
AROUND SUNSET, THAT IS WHEN
WE’LL SEE SOME OF THE HEAVIEST
RAIN PUSH THROUGH.
SO HERE’S 5:00, HEAVY RAIN IS
ALREADY DOWN INTO THE KEYS AND
ONLY PROGRESSES TO THE NORTH.
THIS IS BY 9:00, AND WE’RE
PICKING THINGS UP A LITTLE BIT
WITH THE WIND GUSTS PICKING UP,
AS WELL, AND WE HAVE TO WATCH
OUT TONIGHT AND TOMORROW MORNING
FOR STRONG THUNDERSTORMS
INCLUDING THE POTENTIAL FOR A
COUPLE TORNADOES, WATERSPOUTS
HITTING THE COASTLINE.
TYPICALLY, THEY’RE NOT STRONG
TORNADOES BUT NONETHELESS, THEY
CAN DO DAMAGE, SO WE’LL LET YOU
KNOW SO STICK US WITH AS THIS
STORM MOVES THROUGH, AND WE’LL
GET THROUGH MIDDAY TOMORROW AND
COMING UP, WE’LL TALK ABOUT HOW
LONG THE RAIN BANDS AND FLOODING
THREAT GO INTO THE WEEKEND, WITH
MORE STUFF TO LOOK AT TAKING IT
CITY BY CITY TO COVER SO MORE
COMING UP.
>> THANK YOU, BRANDON.
AND WE’LL HAVE MORE FROM STORM
