YOU DON'T NEED TO GO TO THE
MOVIE THEATER TO SEE THE
SUPERSTAR.
JENNIFER IS HERE TO TELL US
ABOUT STORMS IN THE TROPICS.
THANK YOU BUT I AM NO
SUPERSTAR.
GOOD MORNING, WE ARE NOW GETTING
IN THE STATS FOR THE 8:00 A.M.
ADVISORY FOR TROPICAL STORM
LAURA.
WE DON'T UPDATE THE FORECAST:
BUT WHAT IS UPDATED ARE THE
STATS IN THE LOCATION.
SO THIS LOCATION IS NOW 40
MILES NORTHEAST OF PORT-au-
PRINCE HAITI.
IT IS MOVING ALONG AT THAT 18
MILE PER HOUR SPEED, WEST
NORTHWEST DIRECTION WITH
MAXIMUM SUSTAINED WINDS OF 45
MILES PER HOUR.
TAKE A LOOK AT THESE TROPICAL
STORM WATCHES AND WARNINGS.
THE WATCHES ARE IN BLUE AND THE
WARNINGS IN YELLOW.
THE KEYS, WE ARE UNDER THE
TROPICAL STORM WATCH FROM OCEAN
REEF TO KEY WEST.
A LOOK AT THE FORECAST: AND THE
AREA.
THEY REMAIN JUST SOUTH OF KEY
WEST. BUT THERE IS DEFINITELY
STILL A POTENTIAL FOR TROPICAL
STORM FORCE WIND GUSTS BY
TOMORROW AFTERNOON.
TOMORROW AFTERNOON IS THE
CLOSEST APPROACH TO SOUTH
FLORIDA.
THE MORE SOUTH YOU LIVE, THE
GUSTY YEAR AND STRONGER THE
WINDS WILL BE.
THE MORE NORTH YOU LIVE, IT
WILL BE AS GUSTY, BUT CERTAINLY
TOMORROW, OR EVEN TONIGHT, IT
WILL BE ON THE WINDY SIDE.
HERE IS A LOOK AT THE FORECAST
CONE.
LAURA IS GOING TO HAVE A LOT OF
LAND INTERACTION THROUGHOUT THE
DAY AND TOMORROW.
BUT ONCE IT GETS INTO THE GULF
WATERS, IT IS EXPECTED THAT
LAURA WILL BECOME A CATEGORY
ONE HURRICANE.
AND THEN EVENTUALLY A CATEGORY
TWO BEFORE MAKING LAND BY VERY
EARLY THURSDAY MORNING.
SO WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO THURSDAY
, ALONG THE LOUISIANA COASTLINE.
OF COURSE THE FORECAST CALLED
WIDENS UP BECAUSE OF THE
UNCERTAINTY.
SO IT COULD BE ANYWHERE WITHIN
THE CONE WHERE THE CENTER WILL
MAKE LANDFALL.
AND LAURA IS EXPECTED TO MAKE
LANDFALL AFTER MARCO.
SO THE GULF COAST DEALING WITH
ACTIVEX STORMS.
HERE IS THE SATELLITE IMAGERY
OF LAURA.
LAURA IS BRINGING SOME HEAVY
RAIN ALL TO HISPANIOLA WHICH
COULD DEFINITELY CAUSE
MUDSLIDES.
SO THAT IS A HUGE IMPACT.
LAURA AGAIN IS INTERACTING WITH
LAND SO IT IS SHRINKING A BIT.
BUT, THE DISTANCE FROM
YESTERDAY IS THAT THUNDERSTORMS
DEVELOPED ON ALL SIDES OF THE
SYSTEM.
MAKING IT MORE ORGANIZED AND
MORE SYMMETRICAL.
FOR US, WE ARE DEALING WITH
PASSING SHOWERS ON THE KEYS UP
TO BROWARD.
THESE ARE QUICK MOVERS. THEY
ARE HEAVY AT TIMES, LASTING 10
TO 15 MINUTES.
AND ALSO SIMILARLY FOR THE
KEYS, THERE IS A BAND OF
SHOWERS COMING NEAR MARATHON IN
THE NEXT COUPLE OF MINUTES.
SO AS WE CONTINUE INTO SHOWERS
ON AND OFF SHOWERS AND THEN
TOMORROW WE WILL GET THE OUTER
BANDS FROM LAURA.
THEY WILL BE HEAVIER BUT THEY
WILL BE MOVING QUICKLY SO I
DON'T EXPECT THE RAINFALL
ACCUMULATION.
BUT WE HAVE TO WATCH FOR
ISOLATED THREATS OF TORNADOES
AND WATERSPOUTS FOR MONDAY.
TROPICAL STORM WIND GUSTS
POSSIBLE FOR BROWARD.
AND FAIRLY WINDY FOR BROWARD.
HERE IS A LOOK AT THE WIND
GUST.
I DO EXPECT BY TOMORROW THAT
THE GUSTS WILL BE INCREASING
AROUND 35 TO 40 MILES PER HOUR.
EVEN CLOSE TO 50 MILES PER HOUR
