ACROSS SOUTH FLORIDA TO GET YOU THROUGH THIS ONE AND OVER TO CHIEF METEOROLOGIST, BETTY DAVIS
AND WALK US THROUGH WHAT THIS
STORM IS DOING NOW.
>> HEY, IN CASE YOU ARE
WONDERING WHAT CHANGED AS OF
LAST ADVISORY, NOT A LOT.
TROPICAL STORM ETA 150 MILES
SOUTHEAST OF MARATHON, FLORIDA
AND MOVING NORTHWEST AT 14 MILES
PER HOUR AND THE PLAN IS STILL
FOR THAT CENTER TO CLOSE IN ON
THE KEYS LATER ON TONIGHT.
MEANTIME WHAT YOU ARE SEEING IS
THIS EXPLOSION OF BANDING WELL
NORTH THAT OF CENTER.
IT STILL IS A STRETCHED OUT NOT
SYMMETRICAL SYSTEM AT ALL AND
THIS IS SATELLITE IMAGERY BEFORE
THE SUN GOES DOWN AND THE SUN
REFLECTION OFF THE CLOUDS AND
THIS NICE IMAGE.
WHAT I AM PAYING ATTENTION IS
THE TEXTURE YOU HAVE THAT
CAULIFLOWER LOOK TO THE CLOUDS
AND BOTTOM LINE THAT’S WHERE THE
INTENSE STORMS ARE ASSOCIATED
WITH THE SYSTEM AND THOSE ARE
WELL REMOVED FROM THE CENTER ON
THAT NORTH SIDE.
AND WHERE THE WORSE OF THE
WEATHER IS AND COMING ON STRONG
IN PARTS OF DADE AND BROWARD.
AND WINDS FROM THE NORTHEAST
FROM FORT LAUDERDALE AND MIAMI.
LOOK AT THAT GUSTS IN FORT
LAUDERDALE, 35 MILES PER HOUR
AND THESE STORMS IN THESE BANDS
WITH THESE GUSTS, SOME OF THAT
ENERGY IS TRANSLATING INLAND.
NOTE PEMBROKE PINES WINDS
GUSTING TO 40 MILES PER HOUR AND
THIS IS TROPICAL STORM FORCE.
AND MORE OFF SHORE AND LINED UP
AND AIMED AT BROWARD AND
MIAMI-DADE AND WE HAVE HAD
SEVERAL INCHES ALREADY AND THE
FLOOD WARNINGS FROM FORT
LAUDERDALE TO MIAMI.
THIS IS INDEED TURNING OUT TO BE
PROBLEMATIC AND AS I MENTIONED
MORE OF THOSE GUSTY RAIN BANDS
LURKING OFF SHORE.
AND KEEP LOOKING AT ALL
DIFFERENT KINDS OF INFORMATION
AND SOMETHING THAT WE ARE
LOOKING AT, THERE ARE SOME KICK
TO DO THE STORMS THAT ARE WITHIN
THESE BANDS.
THIS IS VELOCITY DATA, I’M SURE
THAT LUKE WILL HAVE ANOTHER LOOK
AT THIS TO SHOW THE STRONGER
WINDS WITH SOME BANDS.
45-50 MILES PER HOUR.
INDEED THERE IS A REASON WHY WE
ARE UNDER A TROPICAL STORM
WARNING AND BECAUSE WE MAY NOT
NECESSARILY GET THE CORE OF THIS
SYSTEM PASSING OVER DADE OR
BROWARD WE ARE CAUGHT UP IN THE
WORSE WEATHER FROM THE BANDS.
I WANT TO TALK ABOUT RAINFALL
RATES, RAIN ON TOP OF RAIN AND
WITH THESE TROPICAL STORM
DOWNPOURS TOPPING TWO INCH PER
HOUR AND EVEN IF NOT, AND ONE
INCH OR LESS, IT’S RELENTLESS
AND COMING IN ON SATURATED
GROUND AND WHY WE ARE SEEING THE
ISSUES WE ARE SEEING IN PARTS OF
BROWARD COUNTY.
AND ADD TO THAT THE AIR AND THE
WAY THAT THE WINDS ARE FLOWING
AND THAT ONSHORE FLOW PUSHING
THE WATER CONTINUALLY TOWARDS
THE COASTLINE.
HERE WE ARE LOOKING AT THIS
RADAR IMAGERY, HERE THE CENTER.
AND WELL NORTH AND EAST THIS
RADAR IMAGERY TELLS THE STORY OF
A STRETCHED OUT TROPICAL STORM
ETA AND THOSE BANDS JUST WILL
NOT BE QUITTING FOR PARTS OF
BROWARD AND DADE ANY TIME SOON
AND THIS IS PART BEFORE WE PULL
THE CORE OVER THE KEYS.
AND THAT’S THE FORECAST FOR THE
CENTER TO MAKE A LANDFALL LATE
TONIGHT AROUND THE KEYS.
AND MEANWHILE RAINFALL IN THE
LAST 48 HOURS AND IN THE PAST
HOURS SOME AREAS OF BROWARD
EXCEEDED THIS INCHES AND 6-ALATE
ISOLATED SPOTS COULD RECEIVE UP
TO 18 INCHES OF RAIN AND IN A
FLOOD WATCH THROUGH TUESDAY AND
HOW IT LOOKS AND START AT 6 p.m.
AND THIS FORECAST HONING IN ON
THOSE INTENSE RAIN BANDS
BATTERING PARTS OF BROWARD AND
DADE AND THE TROPICAL STORM
BANDS PERSIST AND FLOOD RISK
CONTINUES.
AND AS FOR WINDS UP TO TROPICAL
STORM FORCE AND MAYBE GUSTS UP
TO 65 MILES PER HOUR AND THE
KEYS SAY UP TO 80 MILES PER
HOUR.
THIS IS WHERE WE STILL HAVE THAT
HURRICANE WARNING IF -- IN PLAY
FOR THE KEYS.
AND BASED ON THE WAY THINGS ARE
HAVE THAT CORE MOVING ACROSS THE
KEYS.
FLOOD RISK CONTINUES AND SOME
STRONGER WINDS DEPENDS ON WHAT
HAPPENS WITH THE CENTER OF THAT
MAY COME OVER PARTS OF THE KEYS.
EITHER WAY WITH ALL OF THOSE
INTENSE BANDS DISPLACED FROM
THAT VERY BROAD CENTER WE WILL
HAVE THOSE WINDS GUSTING INTO
PARTS OF DADE AND BROWARD.
THROUGHOUT THE NIGHT AS THE
BANDS COME THROUGH AND THE RAIN
CONTINUES TO POUND.
NOTICE BY 8 a.m. AND STILL
TROPICAL STORM POURS PERSISTING
BASED ON THIS MODEL.
FLOOD RISK CONTINUES AND WINDS
COULD GUST TO 40 AT 8 a.m. AND
AS THE DAY WEARS ON THE RAIN
COVERAGE LOWERS AND WINDS EASING
BACK AT THAT POINT.
AS TOMORROW AFTERNOON PLAYS OUT,
WE EXPECT TO GET OUT OF THE
WORSE OF IT.
BUT FOR NOW WE ARE DEFINITELY
INVOLVED IN THE THICK OF THINGS
ACROSS SOUTH FLORIDA.
HERE WE GO, LOOKING AHEAD
TUESDAY, 6 p.m. AND THE MODEL
SHOWING LESS AND LESS RAIN OVER
HOUR AREA.
BUT WINDS COULD STILL BE GUSTY
AT TIMES.
HERE’S WHAT IS INTERESTING IN
TERMS OF WHAT CHANGES WE HAVE
SEEN IN THE HURRICANE WARNINGS.
WE FIND THAT MIAMI-DADE IS STILL
