SPECIALIST AND STORM SURGE
EXPERT MICHAEL ÃTO TALK MORE
ABOUT THE SYSTEM THAT STILL

>> IT IS BETTY.
YOU LOOK AT THE SATELLITE THIS
AFTERNOON IT LOOKS PRETTY
SICKLY.
IT’S HARD TO DETERMINE WHERE
THE ACTUAL CENTER OF
CIRCULATION IS.
THE BRIGHT WHITE CLOUD TOPS
STILL WELL DISPLACED WELL
EASTER WHERE THE BOARD LOW
LEVEL CIRCULATION IS.
LOOKING MORE CLOSELY AT THIS WE
HAVE A FEW LOW-LEVEL SWIRLS
GOING ON.
ONE OVER HERE PRINT ONE DOWN
HERE PRINT THE HURRICANE CENTER
IS SAYING THE CENTER IS
SOMEWHERE IN HERE.
NOTICE THE ABSENCE OF THE
CONVECTION AND THUNDERSTORMS
NEAR WHERE THE LOW PRESSURE
CENTER IS.
THAT’S GOOD BECAUSE WITHOUT THE
THUNDERSTORM PERSISTING OF THE
LOWEST PRESSURES IT’S HARD FOR
TO ORGANIZE.
THERE IS A WINDOW OF
OPPORTUNITY FOR THIS TO BECOME
TROPICAL STORM ALEX STILL BEING
FORECAST FOR THE NATIONAL
HURRICANE CENTER.
IT DOES NOT CHANGE MUCH FOR US.
ALL THIS MEANINGFUL THE ROUNDS
AND WAVES OF RAIN HAVE ALREADY
BEGUN HAVE MADE THEIR WAY INTO
OUR VIEWING AREA.

OVERNIGHT. LOOK AT THE RADAR
WINDS.
