MANY, MANY HOURS AGO. LET’S CHECK BACK IN WITH TROY BRIDGES TO GET A LOOK AT WHERE
THIS RADAR IS RIGHT NOW. YEAH,
WE ARE WATCHING THAT LATEST
ADVISORY AS OF 2 O’CLOCK THIS
MORNING STILL SHOWING THE
MAXIMUM SUSTAINED WINDS WITHIN
THIS STORM AT 75 MILES PER
HOUR. SO STILL.
>> A CATEGORY ONE HURRICANE AS
IT TURNS ON TOP OF CENTRAL
FLORIDA. SO WE WILL HAVE SOME
OF THOSE GUST CLOSE TO THE
HIGHER END OF THE TROPICAL
STORM FORCE. YOU TALK ABOUT
THE WIND GUST OUTSIDE OF THAT
CENTER OF CIRCULATION. SO
THESE ARE THE OFFICIAL
NUMBERS. I THINK WE GET THE
05:00AM ADVISORY. THIS WILL BE
DOWNGRADED BECAUSE WE’VE BEEN
CHECKING ON OUR WINDS AND OUR
WINDS ARE UP TO 50, 60 MILES
PER HOUR OR GREATER WITH SOME
OF THOSE GUST. BUT WE’RE NOT
TALKING ABOUT SEEING A WHOLE
BUNCH OF GUST NEAR 75 MILES
PER HOUR, WHICH IS GOOD NEWS.
BUT WE ARE SEEING ENOUGH WIND.
WE TALK ABOUT TROPICAL STORM
FORCE TO LEAD TO SOME DAMAGE
WITH TREE LIMBS DOWN AND MORE
OF THAT. SO ANYWAY, THIS IS
THE LATEST TRACK. AND AGAIN,
WE’LL GET A NEW ONE OUT AT 5
O’CLOCK THIS MORNING. AND IT
LOOKS LIKE THE CENTER OF
CIRCULATION, OF COURSE, IS A
LITTLE FARTHER NORTH AND WHERE
THIS IS SPINNING BECAUSE, OF
COURSE, THIS IS A LITTLE OLDER
TRACK WAITING ON THAT NEW ONE
THAT WILL BE OUT IN A COUPLE
OF HOURS. BUT HERE IS THE
RADAR AS WE SCAN THE SKIES AND
WE PINPOINT THE HEAVIEST OF
THE RAIN WE ZOOM IN OR YOU’RE
SEEING THE REDS HERE. SO A
GOOD BIT OF VERY HEAVY RAIN
SPIRALING AROUND FOR OUR
CENTER. MOST POINTS OF ORANGE
COUNTY. A GOOD BIT OF ORLANDO
AND THEN POINTS UP TO THE
NORTH INTO WINTER PARK.
ALTAMONTE SPRINGS. AS WE TALK
ABOUT SEMINOLE COUNTY ON UP TO
SANFORD. SO YOU DO SEE SOME OF
THE HEAVIER RAIN CONTINUING TO
SPIRAL AROUND. WE’RE SEEING
THOSE DEEPER REDS. WE’RE
SEEING SOME FAIRLY HIGH
RAINFALL RATES. A COUPLE OF
INCHES AN HOUR AND SOME OF
THESE SPOTS EVEN MORE THAN
THAT IN SOME POCKETS. AND SO
AS THIS CONTINUES TO SPIRAL
AROUND ON SOME OF THE SAME
AREAS, WE’RE GOING TO CONTINUE
WITH THAT FLOODING CONCERN. WE
TALKED ABOUT THE FLASH
FLOODING. THAT’S WHEN THE RAIN
CAN REALLY ADD UP QUICKLY AND
LEAD TO SOME FLOODING IN A
MATTER OF SECONDS IN SOME
SPOTS. THAT WILL BE A CONCERN.
AND OF COURSE, THE FLOOD
WATCHES AND WARNINGS AND
CONCERN WILL BE A CONCERN OVER
THE NEXT FEW DAYS AS THE RAIN
CONTINUES TO, YOU KNOW, STAY
IN PLACE EVEN THOUGH THE
SYSTEM ACTUALLY MOVES AWAY.
LATER TODAY, THE RAIN WATER
WILL HAVE FILLED MANY OF OUR
WATERWAYS. AND SO THAT WILL
LEAD TO THAT CHANCE FOR SOME
FLOODING. EVEN THOUGH THE RAIN
WILL HAVE PUSHED OUT. SO HERE
IS THE HEAVIEST OF THE RAIN
AGAIN FROM KISSIMMEE ON UP
COURAGE AND DOWNTOWN ORLANDO
TO WINTER PARK BACK OVER TO
OCOEE AND THEN STRETCHING TO
TITUSVILLE, MERRITT ISLAND,
PORT SAINT JOHN CAPE
CANAVERAL, ROCKLEDGE, ALL OF
THOSE AREAS WHERE YOU’RE
SEEING THE DEEPER REDS AND THE
YELLOWS ON YOUR SCREEN. OF
COURSE, THE GREEN INDICATING
LIGHTER RAIN. WE’RE SEEING
THAT REALLY EVERYWHERE IN
CENTRAL FLORIDA, FAR SOUTHERN
BREVARD COUNTY GETTING A
LITTLE BIT OF A BREAK FROM AT
LEAST THE HEAVIEST OF THE
RAIN. BUT THERE IS SOME LIGHT
RAIN EVEN IN SOUTHERN BREVARD
COUNTY. SO HERE IS FUTURE
RADAR AS WE TAKE YOU THROUGH
6.30, THIS MORNING. STILL
SEEING THAT CENTER OF
CIRCULATION LIKELY ON TOP OF
BREVARD COUNTY. ORANGE COUNTY,
MAYBE EAST ORANGE COUNTY AT
THAT POINT AND POSSIBLY FAR,
FAR SOUTHERN NORTHERN
SECTIONS, RATHER OF OSCEOLA
COUNTY. SO AS WE SEE THAT SPIN
THERE IN THE ATMOSPHERE WILL
SEE THAT CENTER OF CIRCULATION
BEGIN TO PUSH UP IN OFF. WE’D
LIKE TO SEE IT PICK UP SOME
SPEED AND MOVE AWAY AGAIN. YOU
SEE THAT A SPIRALING MOVEMENT
HERE. THERE’S 08:30AM, IN THE
MORNING SEEING MOST OF THE
HEAVIEST STUFF PUSHING UP TO
THE NORTH AND EAST AND SORT OF
CLEARING BREVARD COUNTY, WHICH
COULD BE SOME GOOD NEWS.
BREVARD AND OSCEOLA NOT SEE AS
MUCH OF THE RAIN BY 8.30, THIS
MORNING. MOST OF THE HEAVIEST
STUFF WOULD BE IN VOLUSIA
COUNTY, STRETCHING UP INTO
FLAGLER COUNTY AND THEN BACK
INTO A MARION COUNTY. BUT
AGAIN, THESE WOULD COME IN
SPIRALING BANDS AND SO STILL
HEAVY RAIN IN NORTHERN ZONES
WRAPPING AROUND INTO PARTS OF
THE EASTERN ORANGE COUNTY AND
THEN EVENTUALLY PUSHING ON UP.
SO WE STOP THE CLOCK AGAIN.
THERE’S 03:00PM AND YOU SEE BY
03:00PM, MOST OF THE RAIN, THE
CENTER CIRCULATION CERTAINLY
OFFSHORE. BUT SOME WRAP AROUND
MOISTURE STILL FOR OUR COASTAL
ZONES AT THAT POINT. SO WE
STILL HAVE SEVERAL HOURS TO GO
BEFORE WE GET THE WHOLE THING
OUT OF HERE. BUT WE DO THINK
IT’S GOING TO WEEKEND AND OF
COURSE, WE’LL SEE A LOT OF
THAT RAIN LESSON AND THE WINDS
LESSEN AS WE GET INTO THE NEXT
COUPLE OF HOURS, CERTAINLY BY
THE AFTERNOON THINGS TO SHAPE
UP A LOT BETTER FOR CENTRAL
FLORIDA, EVEN THOUGH THE WIND
IS GOING TO BE LEADING TO
THOSE ISSUES WILL CERTAINLY
SEE WHAT KIND OF DAMAGE IS OUT
THERE BECAUSE OF ALL THE WIND.
NOW, THESE ARE THE SUSTAINED
WINDS RIGHT NOW. WHEN WE TALK
ABOUT SUSTAINED WINDS, WE MEAN
IS CONSTANT WINDS THAT WILL
CONTINUE GUST EVEN HIGHER. SO
THE SUSTAINED WINDS AND MANY
AREAS CLOSE TO TROPICAL STORM
FORCE 40 MILES PER HOUR OR
GREATER. SO THERE’S COCOA
BEACH WINDS RIGHT NOW
SUSTAINED AT 37 MILES PER
HOUR. 24 MILE PER HOUR
SUSTAINED WINDS AND LEESBURG.
21 MILES PER HOUR SUSTAINED
WINDS RIGHT NOW IN ORLANDO. 31
AND SANFORD. 44 IN DAYTONA
BEACH, SO CERTAINLY TROPICAL
STORM FORCE WINDS THERE IN
DAYTONA BEACH AND THEN MANY
OTHER AREAS IN OUR NORTHERN
ZONES NOT SEEING AS MUCH. BUT
AGAIN, THIS IS SPIRALING
AROUND. SO WE’LL SEE MORE OF
THOSE STRONGER WINDS AND
REALLY ALL PARTS OF CENTRAL
FLORIDA AS WE HEAD INTO THE
NEXT SEVERAL HOURS RIGHT NOW,
17 MILES PER HOUR, WINDS IN
OCALA AND 24 MILES PER HOUR,
WINDS AND MELBOURNE. SO HERE
ARE THOSE GUSTS AGAIN, GUSTING
GREATER AS WE TALK ABOUT WINDS
IN KISSIMMEE, THEIR 45 MILES
PER HOUR. SO DEFINITELY
TROPICAL STORM FORCE GUSTS.
WE’RE SEEING 46 MILE PER HOUR
WINDS AND MELBOURNE, COCOA
BEACH AND 51. 49 AT CAPE
CANAVERAL. 52 MILE PER HOUR
WINDS AND SANFORD. 39 MILES
PER HOUR. WINDS RIGHT NOW IN
LEESBURG AND OCALA. 23 AGAIN,
THESE ARE GUSTS UP ALL THE WAY
TO 63 MILES PER HOUR IN
DAYTONA BEACH. AND 32 MILES
PER HOUR. WIND GUSTS IN PALM
COAST. SO AREA WIDE, A GOOD
BIT OF WIND AND OF COURSE, A
GOOD BIT OF RAIN AS WE SHOW
YOU A LITTLE BIT OF A WIDER
RANGE VIEW OF THE RADAR ACROSS
ALL OF CENTRAL FLORIDA. AGAIN,
YOU SEE THE BULK OF THE RAIN
IN THE MIDDLE FROM ORANGE
COUNTY STRETCHING ALL THE WAY
UP OVER NORTHERN SECTIONS OF
BREVARD COUNTY. SO WE’LL SEE
MORE OF THAT SPIRALING AROUND
HERE. AND THAT COUNTER
CLOCKWISE WIND FLOW. AND AS
THAT HAPPENS, WE’LL SEE SOME
OF THESE REDS RIGHT HERE THAT
HEAVIER RAIN UP TO A COUPLE OF
INCHES OR MORE AN HOUR COMING
DOWN PULLING TO THE NORTH. SO
EVENTUALLY MOVING INTO AREAS
OF SEMINOLE COUNTY AS WELL AS
VOLUSIA COUNTY AND EVEN INTO
OSCEOLA COUNTY. BUT WHERE
YOU’RE SEEING THE YELLOWS
THAT’S GOING TO MODERATE RAIN.
THE GREEN, OF COURSE, LIGHT
RAIN, THE HEAVIER STUFF AROUND
THAT SPIRALING CENTER OF
CIRCULATION THAT LOOKS LIKE
IT’S RIGHT ON TOP OF SOUTHERN
ORANGE COUNTY, NORTHERN
SECTIONS OF OSCEOLA COUNTY,
BUT EVENTUALLY PUSHING THROUGH
INTO BREVARD COUNTY. AND
THAT’S WHEN WE BEGIN TO SEE
THE BULK OF THE RAIN PUSH UP
AND OUT OF THE WAY. SO THERE’S
THE RADAR AS WE SHOW THAT WIDE
VIEW SPENDING AROUND WITH THAT
CENTER OF CIRCULATION. AS I
JUST POINTED OUT RIGHT THERE
FOR OSCEOLA ON UP INTO
SOUTHERN SECTIONS OF ORANGE
COUNTY. THAT’S WHERE WE’VE
SEEN SOME OF THE HEAVIEST
RAIN. THESE ARE SOME OF THE
RAIN RATES THAT WE’VE SEEN
CLOSE TO A COUPLE OF INCHES AN
HOUR IN POCKETS. OTHER AREAS
NOT SEEING AS MUCH OF THOSE
HEAVIER RAIN RATES, BUT THAT
CAN CHANGE BECAUSE WE’RE
TALKING ABOUT THE SPIRALING
ACTION. THIS THE SPINNING IN
THE ATMOSPHERE IS MORE OF
THOSE BANDS MOVE ON SHORE. YOU
KNOW, WE WERE TALKING EARLIER
ABOUT THAT DIRTY SIDE OF THE
SYSTEM. IT’S THE RIGHT FRONT
QUADRANT AND YOU REALLY DIVIDE
THE ENTIRE SYSTEM. THE CENTER
CIRCULATION HERE AGAIN OVER
SOUTHERN ORANGE COUNTY AND
NORTHERN OSCEOLA COUNTY. BUT
WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE CENTER
RIGHT THERE AND YOU PUT SORT
OF A DIVISION HERE WITH A
QUADRANT LIKE THAT, IT’S ALL
BASED ON THE MOVEMENT. SO IT’S
MOVING TO THE NORTH AND
NORTHEAST. SO THAT RIGHT FRONT
QUADRANT WOULD BE THIS AREA,
EVEN STRETCHING ALL THE WAY
OUT TO SEA. AND THAT’S ALWAYS
THE RAGGED SIDE OF THE STORM
WHERE YOU SEE MORE OF THOSE
DEEPER REDS, MORE OF THOSE
STORMS THAT COULD BE SEVERE
AND COULD POSSIBLY ROTATE. THE
GOOD NEWS IS MOST OF THE BULK
OF THAT DIRTY SIDE IS OUT TO
SEA. AND SO OUR RISK FOR
TORNADOES IS MUCH LOWER. IN
FACT, THAT TORNADO WATCH WAS
ALLOWED TO EXPIRE. SO THE
FUTURE RADAR INTO THE NEXT
COUPLE OF HOURS AGAIN, SEWING
THAT MOISTURE CONTINUING TO
SPIRAL AROUND VERY HEAVY RAIN.
STILL A BIG FACTOR, BUT
EVENTUALLY WE PUSH THIS BIG OL
SYSTEM OUT TO SEA AND OUT OF
THE WAY. SO THERE’S THE CLOUDS
AND RAIN FORECAST AS WE TAKE
YOU INTO THE FUTURE. WATCH AS
WE TAKE YOU THROUGH THE NEXT
COUPLE OF HOURS AND NOTICE
THAT CENTER CIRCULATION BY
6.30, THIS MORNING BEGINNING
TO PUSH A LITTLE BIT FARTHER
TO THE NORTH IMPACTING OR ARE
ACTUALLY MOVING ON TOP OF
BREVARD NORTHERN BREVARD
COUNTY AND EVEN SEMINOLE
COUNTY. AND SO THAT WOULD PUSH
MORE OF THE HEAVY RAIN
SPIRALING AROUND IN THE
VOLUSIA COUNTY PARTS OF
FLAGLER COUNTY. AND THEN WE
START TO DRY OUT A LITTLE BIT
IN SOME OF OUR SOUTHERN ZONES
AS WE SEE MOST OF THE BULK OF
THAT MOISTURE AND ENERGY
PUSHING UP TO THE NORTH AND
EAST. SO BY 8.30, THIS
MORNING, WE’LL BIT OF A BREAK
FOR OSCEOLA AND FOR BREVARD,
ALTHOUGH THERE WILL STILL BE
SOME RAIN COMING DOWN. IT
WON’T BE THE HEAVIEST OF THE
RAIN AS WE SPEND THAT THING
OUT TO SEA 11 THIS MORNING.
NOTICE AS WE ARE BEGINNING TO
PUSH MORE AND MORE OFF TO THE
NORTH AND NORTHEAST AND THEN
WE STOPPED THE CLOCK AT
03:00PM. THE BULK OF THE RAIN
OUT OF HERE, EVEN AS EARLY AS
MAY BE ONE O’CLOCK THIS
AFTERNOON. WE’LL SEE THE BULK
OF THE RAIN OUT OF MOST OF
CENTRAL FLORIDA, BUT STILL
DEALING WITH IT ALONG THE
IMMEDIATE COAST THERE FOR
VOLUSIA COUNTY FOR EVEN
BREVARD COUNTY WITH SOME WRAP
AROUND. BUT I THINK THE
NORTHERN COASTAL ZONES WILL BE
THE LAST TO HAVE TO DEAL WITH
THE HEAVIEST RAIN. THAT WILL
BE FLAGLER COUNTY AND VOLUSIA
COUNTY AROUND 3 O’CLOCK STILL
SEEING IT. AND THEN IT’S OUT
OF HERE. SO AGAIN, BY LATE
