KATRINA.
AND WITH THIS WEEK MARKING 15
YEARS SINCE THAT DISASTER,
SHELTERS LIKE THIS ARE
PROMISING TO STAY OPEN AS LONG
AS IT TAKES.
WE OBVIOUSLY GOT THE WORST
OF IT.
BUT IT RAINED THIS AFTERNOON
AND IT IS STILL RAINING OUTSIDE.
WE WILL TAKE RAIN ANY DAY
OVER A HURRICANE.
AND WE WERE REALLY REALLY CLOSE.
THIS IS THE WHOLE TRACK OF
LAURA AND HOW ONE LITTLE DIP ON
FRIDAY REALLY MADE THE
DIFFERENCE FOR US.
HE IS THE LATEST ADVISORY.
60 MILE AN HOUR WINDS MOVING TO
THE NORTHWEST AT 20.
IT HAS KEPT HIS FAST SPEED.
THAT IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE AS
A GOES INTO THE GULF LATER
TONIGHT AND THROUGH THE COMING
DAYS.
AND THE PRESSURE DOWN AROUND
1001 MILLIBARS.
THE PRESSURE EXPECTED TO DROP
AS THE INTENSITY COMES UP.
THERE IS THE YELLOW AREA.
THAT IS THE AREA WHERE THEY
HAVE TROPICAL STORM CONDITIONS.
THAT HAS BEEN THE CASE THE
WHOLE TIME.
AND THIS IS THE CURRENT
TROPICAL STORM WARNING.
TROUBLE STORM WARNINGS ALSO FOR
THE LOWER AND MIDDLE KEYS.
THE THREAT, SHOWING NORA MOVING
TO THE NORTHWEST AWAY FROM
SOUTH FLORIDA DURING THE DAY
TOMORROW.
BY THE TIME WE GET TO WEDNESDAY
AFTERNOON, YOU CAN ALREADY SEE,
EVEN THOUGH THE CONE IS IN
REACHING LAND YET, TROPICAL
STORM CONDITIONS ARE STARTING
TO COME ON SHORE IN PARTS OF
LOUISIANA AND EXTREME FELT
TEXAS AND MISSISSIPPI AS WELL.
AND GOING ON INTO WEDNESDAY
NIGHT, HERE COMES THE CENTER.
HERE COME THE HURRICANE FORCE
WINDS.
AND THEN FINALLY WE GET TO
THURSDAY AND FRIDAY AS IT MOVES
UP TO THE MISSISSIPPI VALLEY
THERE.
THIS IS THE THING THAT SAVED
US.
THAT BIG ROCKING HIGH.
WE DON'T LIKE IT THERE BECAUSE
SOMETIMES IT STORM COMES FROM
THE SOUTHEAST, IT STEERS THE
STORM INTO US.
THIS TIME HE PROTECTED US
BECAUSE THEY KEPT THE STORM TO
OUR SOUTH.
THE OPPORTUNITY TO GO NORTH IS
OVER HERE.
IT MOVES WEST SO IT TRIES TO
KEEP THE STORM GOING WEST.
BY THE TIME WE GET TO THIS
POINT IN TIME, IT DEPENDS
REALLY HOW STRONG THE STORM IS.
A STRONGER STORM IS GOING TO
SINCE THE HIGH BETTER AND TRY
TO GO MORE TO THE WEST.
A WEAKER STORM OUT HERE, WON'T
SINCE THE HIGH AS MUCH AND WILL
TRY TO GO MORE TO THE NORTH.
SO THAT THE SCENARIO IS THAT A
STRONGER STORM WILL GO MORE
TOWARDS TEXAS.
AT WEAKER STORE MORE TOWARDS
LOUISIANA.
HERE IS MARCO, MARCO IS BARELY
HOLDING ON.
WINDSHEAR PEER PEALED THE
STORMS AWAY.
GOOD NEWS HERE IS THAT THE
FOLKS IN LOUISIANA ARE NOT
GOING TO BE HAVING TO DEAL WITH
MUCH.
THE HURRICANE WATCHES FOR LAURA
. THERE ARE NO WATCHES OR
WARNINGS FOR MARCO.
CLOSER TO HOME, WE HAVE HAD THE
SHOWERS MOVING THROUGH THE
KEYS.
AND THEN DRAPED ACROSS BROWARD
AND EXTREME NORTH WITH BY MIAMI-
DADE, HERE IS THE WINDJAMMER
CAMERA.
SUMMING IT UP, LOTS OF BLUE
THERE BUT IT IS WARM AND HUMID
AND STEAMY.
SUPER STEAMY ON THE STICKINESS
SCALE.
MAKING IT FEELS LIKE 103.
WINDS GUSTING UP TO 30 MILES AN
HOUR.
FEELS LIKE TEMPERATURES 100 TO
106.
SO IT IS DEFINITELY THICK
TROPICAL AIR OUT THERE.
I WIND GUSTS WERE ANYWHERE FROM
33 TO 40 MILES PER HOUR.
CORAL GABLES SAW GUSTS TO 40
MILES AN HOUR.
THERE'S THE MOISTURE FROM LAURA
TO OUR SOUTH.
IT GETS ON PASSES PRETTY
QUICKLY.
DOESN'T HAVE A TAIL AFFECTING
US.
FRIDAY WE WILL SEE A BETTER
CHANCE FOR THUNDERSTORM.
OUR FORECAST FOR TONIGHT LOOKS
LIKE THIS.
WINDY AT TIMES.
WE WILL SEE SOME SQUALLS COMING
THROUGH WITH A LOW TEMPERATURE
IN THE MID 80s.
TOMORROW, LOOK FOR THE BREEZE
STAYING MUCH OF THE DAY IN THE
DROPPING UP BY TOMORROW
EVENING.
HIGH TEMPERATURE NEAR 92
