GOOD MORNING, SOUTH
FLORIDA.
WE CONTINUE TO TRACK HURRICANE
ISAIAS, AND RIGHT NOW, WE WANT
TO SPEAK TO THE NATIONAL
HURRICANE CENTER DIRECTOR, KEN
GRAHAM. JUST THE PAST FEW DAYS,
THAT HEADCOUNT SHIFTING TO THE
RIGHT, AND THEN TO THE LEFT.
HOW IS EVERYONE FEELING AT THE
NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER
TODAY, KEN, KEEPING HURRICANE
ISAIAS TO THE EAST, AND WHAT
POTENTIAL IMPACTS ARE YOU
EXPECTING FOR US HERE IN SOUTH
FLORIDA?
A STRONGER STORM WOULD BEEN
ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE CONE.
MODELS WOULD DRAG IT BACK
TOWARD THE WEST. SO, BACK AND
FORTH A LITTLE BIT.
THE FORECAST IS RIGHT ON TRACK.
THE IMPACTS ARE COMING.
THEN ON THE APPROACH THIS IS
THE INTERESTING PART THAT WE
HAVE TO PAY ATTENTION TO IT IS
NOT JUST THE POINT.
RIGHT ALONG THE COAST THERE, THE
STORM IS BIGGER.
THAT IS SOMETHING WE HAVE TO
TALK ABOUT THE IMPACTS ARE MUCH
LARGER.
RIGHT, WE ALSO NOTICED, IT
IS SLOWING DOWN A LITTLE BIT
AND THERE IS ALSO SOME WIND
SHEAR AND DRY AIR.
I THINK YOU ARE GOING TO SEE
THOSE FLUCTUATIONS.
NOTICE THE SOUTHWEST PORTION OF
THOSE WIND SHEARS.
THIS YEAR KNOCKS THEM DOWN.
IT IS VERY INTERESTING.
I LIKE LOOKING AT THIS THIS IS
ACTUALLY THE AMERICAN MODEL
SIMULATED SATELLITE AND YOU CAN
SEE THE STORM RIGHT NOW I AM
GOING TO LUKE THIS AND NOTICE
IT LOOKS GOOD, IT DOESN'T LOOK
GOOD. IT MAY NOT LOOK PERFECT,
BUT WE ARE STILL GOING TO GET
THAT RAIN.
AND YOU ARE GOING TO STILL SEE
THOSE IMPACTS.
IT IS STILL A HURRICANE.
IT IS STILL A LITTLE TOO CLOSE
TO COMFORT.
WE JUST NEED TO PREPARE, RIGHT,
FOR ALL OF THESE IMPACTS.
AS YOU MENTIONED, KEN, WE ARE
GOING TO SEE METEOROLOGISTS AT
THE NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER
FOR ALL OF YOUR HARD WORK AND
TRACKING HURRICANE ISAIAS.
THE NEXT BIG ADVISORY WILL
HAPPEN AT 11 A.M.
HURRICANE ISAIAS HAS NOTCHED
WINDS AT THE BAHAMAS MOVING
NORTH/NORTHWEST. AND SO WE ARE
GOING TO SEE IMPACTS LATER.
TROPICAL STORM WARNING IS STILL
IN PLACE FOR MIAMI-DADE COUNTY
HURRICANE WATCH FOR COASTAL
BROWARD. HURRICANES WARNING IN
PLACE FOR THE BAHAMAS CURRENTLY
EXPERIENCING SOME NASTY WEATHER.
YOU CAN SEE THOSE TROPICAL
STORM CONDITIONS EXTENDING WELL
OUT OF THE WAY IMPACTING THOSE
BAHAMAS.
AS WE HEAD INTO THIS AFTERNOON
AND THIS EVENING IS WHEN WE ARE
GOING TO SEE THE WEATHER
CONDITIONS DETERIORATING.
PALM BEACH COUNTY HURRICANE
CONDITIONS GETTING ALL TOO
CLOSE AS WE GET INTO THIS
EVENING AND ALSO OVERNIGHT.
ISAIAS MOVES NORTH/NORTHWEST
AND JUST WRITING UP THE COAST
HERE OF NORTHEAST FLORIDA AND
HEADING TOWARDS THE CAROLINAS,
JUST OFFSHORE, AND TOWARD THE
NORTHEASTERN AREAS.
WHEN WE LOOK AT THE SATELLITE
AND THIS IS WHAT WE ARE TALKING
ABOUT, IT IS A LITTLE RAGGED,
BUT STILL, WE ARE GOING TO SEE
THE POTENTIAL FOR POWER
OUTAGES, YOU WANT TO MAKE SURE
YOU KNOW WHERE THE BATTERIES
ALL TOO.
RIGHT NOW, SHELTERS NOT
NECESSARY.
IF YOU LIVE IN NORTHERN BROWARD
COUNTY, RECOMMENDING NORTH AND
WEST SIDE DUE TO THE FLOW OF
THE WIND.
THESE ARE MOVING QUICKLY.
RACING ACROSS PARTS OF BROWARD
COUNTY.
WE ARE ALSO SEEING SHOWERS ON
IN MIAMI BEACH.
FOR MORE ON OUR LOCAL FORECAST
WE TAKE A LOOK AT THE WINDS.
THANK YOU, WE ARE GOING TO
START OFF WITH WHAT IS
HAPPENING RIGHT NOW.
BUT, RIGHT NOW, NOT TOO
IMPRESSIVE.
IT DOES GET A BIT BREEZY AND
GUSTY WANTS THOSE RAIN BANDS
COME IN WITH SOME OF THOSE
GUSTY SHOWERS THOSE STORMS THAT
ARE ROLL IN THROUGH THE
ATLANTIC, BUT RIGHT NOW, WIND
GUSTS, WE ARE NOT SEEING THEM
HOWEVER.
THERE WAS A REPORTED WIND GUST
OF 40 MILES PER HOUR IN FT.
LAUDERDALE.
THIS IS ACTUALLY THE EUROPEAN
MODEL, AND IT IS SHOWING THAT
DEFINITELY, YES, WE CAN GET
SOME OF THOSE 14-MILE-PER-HOUR
WIND GUSTS. IF YOU LOOK TOWARDS
THIS OUT, NOTICE THE WIND GUSTS
ARE LIGHTER AROUND 20 TO 30
MILES PER HOUR THROUGH THE
OVERNIGHT HOURS, AND THEN AS WE
HEAD INTO SUNDAY MORNING
THROUGHOUT THE DAY, THAT IS
WHEN WE START TO SEE THAT
GRADUAL IMPROVEMENT.
IN THE MORNING, DEFINITELY WILL
STILL BE GUSTY.
AS WE HEAD INTO THE AFTERNOON
AND LATER IN THE EVENING, THE
WINDS WILL START TO DROP, SO,
WE STILL EXPECT THAT IMPROVEMENT
TOMORROW.
NOW, BROWARD IS EXPECTED TO
FEEL AND HAVE THE HIGHEST WIND
SPEEDS THERE NOTICED INLAND
WIND SPEEDS THROUGH THE
OVERNIGHT HOURS WIND GUSTS AND
THEN COULD GO UP TO 50 MILES
PER HOUR.
ESPECIALLY OFFSHORE NORTH OVER
THE WATERS, THERE COULD BE
THERE IS HURRICANE FORCE WIND
GUSTS AS WELL.
ENOUGH TO CAUSE, OF COURSE,
THINGS TO FLY AROUND.
RIGHT NOW IS THE TIME TO BRING
ANYTHING THAT YOU HAVE IN YOUR
BACKYARD THAT YOU THINK COULD
GET PICKED UP, BRING IT INSIDE
OR LOCK IT DOWN.
THAT IS A BREEZY DAY, AND FOR
THE LOWER KEYS, EVEN LESS THAN
THAT.
LET'S TALK ABOUT THE RAINFALL
FORECAST SO HIGHER AMOUNTS ARE
EXPECTED ALONG THE COAST, BUT
SOUTH THE THAT AROUND ONE 23
INCHES OF RAINFALL. SO, WE ARE
NOT EXPECTING TOO MUCH RAIN.
THAT IS A PICTURE TAKEN BY RON.
BEFORE THE SUN WAS RISING YOU
CAN SEE THAT SURF PICKING UP
AND IT IS ROUGH OUT THERE.
THE DAYS EXTREMELY ROUGH.
