SAME AND ASKING PEOPLE TO NOT
THROW AWAY THE SEEDS BECAUSE OF
POTENTIAL HARM TO THE
ENVIRONMENT.
MICHAEL GEORGE , CBS NEWS.
RIGHT NOW WE ARE TRACKING
THE TROPICS AND WE WILL NEED TO
PAY CLOSE ATTENTION THROUGH THE
REMAINDER OF THE WEEK.
CHIEF METEOROLOGIST CRAIG
SETZER IS TRACKING THAT AND WE
ARE ALL PRACTICING THE NAME
TROPICAL STORM ISAIAS .
YES, EXACTLY.
WITH EMPHASIS ON THE SECOND E.
I AM WORKING FROM MY DESK.
THIS IS WHERE I AM LIVING.
THIS IS THE GREEN SCREEN THAT I
STAND IN FRONT OF.
MY LIVING ROOM RIGHT BEHIND ME.
THE LATEST, IT IS STILL A
POTENTIAL TROPICAL STORM MOVING
NORTHWEST GETS A FAST CLIP.
IS EXPECTED TO SLOW DOWN BY THE
TIME GETS CLOSER TO US.
HERE IS THE GRAPHIC THAT WE
HAVE BEEN SHOWING YOU.
IT SHOWS THE EXTENT OF THE STORM
. YOU CAN SEE THAT FUTURETRACK
THERE.
THERE'S THAT CONE WE TALK ABOUT
THE CENTER THAT'S EXPECTED TO
STAY IN THE CONE.
IT SHOWS THE WEATHER EXTENDING
OUTSIDE OF THE CONE.
THOSE CONDITIONS FOR THE
THURSDAY TIMEFRAME.
THERE WE ARE FRIDAY AFTERNOON,
HOW STRONG OR HOW LONG THAT
SYSTEM LAST IS GOING TO BE A
BIG PLAYER AS FAR AS HOW STRONG
THEY GET WHEN IT ARRIVES IN
FLORIDA.
WE ARE RIGHT THERE IN THE
MIDDLE OF THE CONE.
YOU CAN SEE TROPICAL STORM
FORCE WINDS COMING INTO SOUTH
FLORIDA DURING THE DAY AND THEN
THE STORM FORECAST TRACKING A
LITTLE BIT MORE TO THE LEFT OR
RIGHT.
MOST OF THOSE MODELS HAVE BEEN
SHIFTING BACK AND FORTH.
THAT'S THAT WIND SHIELD WIPER
EFFECT THAT WE HAVE BEEN
TALKING ABOUT THAT WE SOMETIMES
SEE.
STILL A LOT OF UNCERTAINTY.
WHAT WILL YOU BE WATCHING FOR
THE NEXT 24 HOURS?
THERE ARE TWO BIG THINGS
THAT I WILL BE WATCHING
CLOSELY.
WE STILL DO NOT HAVE AN IDEA.
WE HAVE THIS ESTIMATED START
POSITION THAT IS REALLY WHERE
THE MODELS GO . THE THE TRACKS
EMANATE FROM THAT START POINT.
IS THE CENTER FORMS UP HERE
THAT'S GOING TO BE A BIG
CONCERN.
THEN THE TRACKS GO OFF AND MISS
THIS AREA.
YOU CAN SEE THIS MOUNTAIN AND
ITS 10,000 FEET, AND THAT'S
VERY DISRUPTIVE TO A TROPICAL
CYCLONE.
THAT'S THE TIMEFRAME RIGHT
THERE ON THURSDAY.
IT'S GOING TO CROSS THAT ISLAND
AND THEN AFTER THAT THAT'S WHAT
WE WILL HAVE TO WATCH CLOSELY.
THESE COULD SHIFT SUBSTANTIALLY
IF THAT STARTING POSITION IS
DIFFERENT.
WE WILL KNOW MORE ABOUT THAT
STARTING POSITION .
WE WILL KNOW MORE ABOUT THAT
TONIGHT AND TOMORROW.
FOR THE NEXT 24 TO 36 HOURS IS
VERY CRUCIAL.
WHAT SHOULD WE BE THINKING
ABOUT AND DOING?
WE BEEN TALKING ABOUT
PLANNING FOR WHAT WE EXPECT TO
COME.
THEN PLANNING FOR THE
POSSIBILITY OF ONE CATEGORY
HIGHER.
IF IT'S A CATEGORY TWO
FORECASTS WERE GOING TO PLAN
FOR THREE.
WE ARE PLANNING FOR POWER
OUTAGES AND WE WILL WANT TO
CHECK GENERATORS, FLASHLIGHTS,
BATTERIES, THINGS LIKE THAT.
YOU MAY WANT TO FREEZE SOME
BOTTLED WATER , GET EVERYTHING
NICE AND COLD.
WIND ISSUES.
ANYTHING THAT COULD BLOW AROUND
YOU NEED TO SECURE.
AND BY FRIDAY NIGHT I DON'T
THINK IT'S GOING TO BE A
SHUTTER EVENT .
WE MIGHT NOT KNOW UNTIL
FRIDAY MORNING.
IF WE DO HAVE TO PUT UP
SHUTTERS IT'S GOING TO BE A
FRIDAY EVENT.
