AREA AROUND DISDAIN.
WE WILL CONTINUE TO FOLLOW THE
LATEST ON THE SEARCH AND BRING
YOU THE LATEST ON AIR AND
ONLINE AT CBSMIAMI.COM.
NOW LET'S GET A CHECK ON
THE FORECAST SPECIFICALLY WE
ARE TRACKING TROPICAL STORM
LAURA.
CRAIG, WHAT IS THE LATEST?
Reporter: THE NEXT BIG
ADVISOR COMES IN AT 11.
I DON'T THINK WE WILL SEE A LOT
OF CHANGES GOING FORWARD.
THE ONLY CHANGES WILL REFLECT
THE STORM ITSELF CHANGES.
WHAT WE SAW THIS MORNING WAS A
CHANGE BECAUSE AT 8:00 THIS
MORNING IT WAS FURTHER TO THE
NORTH.
AND THEN BY 9:00 THE HURRICANE
HUNTERS FOUND STRONGER WINDS.
THE STRONGER WINDS ARE NOT A
SURPRISE.
IF YOU JUST HURT WHILE, NOW
IT'S A TROPICAL STORM.
THAT WAS IN THE FORECAST.
THE LITTLE JUMP TO THE SOUTH OF
THE CENTER, THAT WAS A LITTLE
BIT OF A SURPRISE.
IT WAS A SURPRISE IN OUR FAVOR.
45 MILE AN HOUR WINDS MOVING TO
THE WEST AT 17.
40 MILES EAST OF ANTIGUA. THE
WARNINGS ARE UP NOW FOR MUCH OF
THE NORTHERN CARAVAN.
ESPECIALLY THE NORTH FACING
ISLANDS.
HISPANIOLA HAS A WATCH.
HERE IS THE THREAT:.
THIS IS THROUGH SATURDAY
AFTERNOON TIMEFRAME.
THIS IS GOING TO BE CRITICAL.
WE WILL WATCH THIS BECAUSE THIS
IS ALL I DO THIS TIME OF YEAR.
I WILL BE WATCHING IT VERY
CLOSELY, WHERE THE CENTER IS.
IF IT IS BETTER ORGANIZED, IF
IT IS PASSING OVER PUERTO RICO.
IT MEANS A FLOOD THREAT WILL BE
VERY HIGH THERE.
BUT, IF IT IS OVER OR SOUTH OF
THE ISLANDS, IT WILL BE
DISRUPTED AND HAVE A HARD TIME,
MAYBE EVEN STATE A TROPICAL
STORM.
THE HURRICANE CENTER SOMETIMES
SPLITS THE ODDS.
SO THEY GO MIDDLE-OF-THE-ROAD
AND KIND OF A COURSE OF LEAST
REGRETS.
HERE IS THE SATURDAY NIGHT
TIMEFRAME.
IS THE SUNDAY AFTERNOON
TIMEFRAME.
BY THE TIME WE GET INTO SUNDAY
MORNING AND SUNDAY AFTERNOON,
WE WILL HAVE A GOOD IDEA IF IT
IS GOING TO COME HERE AS A
TRIAL STRONG TROPICAL STORM.
OR IT COULD BE DISRUPTED AND
BECOME A TROPICAL DEPRESSION.
BUT THIS CONSIDERS THE
POSSIBILITY THAT IT HUGS THE
WATER.
HERE WE ARE SUNDAY NIGHT IN
HERE WE ARE MONDAY AFTERNOON.
THE YELLOW AREA INDICATES A
TROPICAL STORM CONDITION AREA.
AND THAT IS THE AREA THAT IS
MOST LIKELY TO OCCUR IN THE
KEYS.
WE COULD SEE TROPICAL STORM
WIND GUSTS IN SOUTH FLORIDA,
MIAMI DADE AND BROWARD.
THAT IS THE OUTLINE OF THE CONE
AND THOSE ARE THE ONE THAT HAD
THE BEST SCALE LAST YEAR.
THE MODEL SHIFTED TO THE NORTH
AND THEN HE CAME BACK TO THE
SOUTH.
COULD GO MORE TO THE SOUTH?
IT COULD.
THE CENTER IS OUR START POINT
SO IF IT JUMPS AT ALL, THAN THE
MODELS WILL JUMP WITH IT.
AND THEN IT IS MORE TO THE
NORTHWEST OUT IN THE GULF OF
MEXICO.
WE ARE ALSO WATCHING 14.
IT IS STILL A TROPICAL
DEPRESSION.
DID NOT GET HIS TOGETHER TODAY.
IT IS FORECASTED TO BECOME A
TROPICAL STORM AS IT APPROACHES
THE YUCATAN PENINSULA.
THIS IS SATURDAY EVENING,
SATURDAY NIGHT TIMEFRAME.
AND THEN MONDAY AFTERNOON.
FORECAST TO STRENGTHEN AND THEN
WE CAN AS IT RUNS INTO WINDSHEAR
. ON TUESDAY IT IS HEADING
TOWARDS THE TEXAS GULF COURSE
COAST.
THERE IS THE STRUGGLING
DEPRESSION OUT THERE.
STILL NOT LOOKING AT ANY
ORGANIZATION.
IN TERMS OF OUR FORECAST FOR
TONIGHT, IT IS LOOKING PRETTY
GOOD.
SUMMER MUGGINGS, BREEZY ALONG
THE BEACHES AND MAYBE A PASSING
SHOWER.
TOMORROW AND SUNDAY ARE GOING
TO BE PRETTY GOOD WEATHER DAYS.
SO IF WE HAVE TO WRAP UP A
LITTLE BIT, I DON'T THINK WE
WILL HAVE TO, BUT IF WE DID
HAVE TO, THE WEATHER IS NOT
LOOKING SO BAD.
TAKING US THROUGH THE WEEKEND,
