Watching for flooding, lightning Thursday night

SUMMER: WHAT IS IT GOING TO BE, TONY? TONY: UP NORTH FOR NOW WE ARE OK BUT WE COULD GET INTO TROUBLE WITH SOME OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES. IF THAT DOESN’T HAPPEN, THE LAUNCH SHOULD GO. IF IT DOES, THEY WILL HAVE TO FIND ANOTHER DAY. THERE IS A LOT OF ACTIVE WEATHER OUTSIDE RIGHT NOW. AN OMINOUS SKY. NOT A BAD DAY TODAY HEAT WISE. WE WERE IN THE LOW 90’S FOR ABOUT ONE MINUTE IN ORLANDO. NOW 87 WITH CLOUDS AND SHOWERS. HEAVY RAIN IN NORTHERN FLAGLER COUNTY. FLOOD WARNING. RARE. UPWARDS OF THREE INCHES OF RAIN HAS ALREADY FALLEN IN NORTHWESTERN FLAGLER COUNTY. WE HAVE HAD THE COLLISION BETWEEN AN OUTFLOW BOUNDARY AND THE EAST COAST SEABREEZE. TALKING ABOUT AN UPTICK IN SHOWERS AND STORMS DURING THE HEART OF RUSH-HOUR, AND INOPPORTUNE TIME. 50 AND ALONG I-4 ARE ALL GETTING DRENCHED RIGHT NOW. THE ATTRACTIONS ARE ABOUT TO GET HAMMERED. THE TURNPIKE IS WET. SOUTHERN BREVARD, VERY WET. MORE MODERATE TO HEAVY RAIN ACROSS FAR SOUTHERN BREVARD COUNTY WHICH HAS LED TO ANOTHER FLOOD ADVISORY. THE ATTRACTIONS TONIGHT, WE ARE WATCHING SHOWERS AND STORMS. WE THINK THINGS WILL IMPROVE AFTER 8:00 BUT IN THE SHORT RUN, IT WILL BE WET AND WINDY WITH THUNDER AND LIGHTNING. TOMORROW, 80’S AREAWIDE WITH STORMS THAT WILL KEEP DOWN TEMPERATURES. BUT IT WILL IMPACT THE HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL GAMES. WE SHOULD BE A LITTLE BIT BETTER BY 9:00. FIONA IS A FIGHTER IN THE TROPICS. IT IS STILL HOLDING ON AS IT MOVES WEST. WIND HAS INCREASED TO 60 MILES AN HOUR. ORANGE IS THE DRY AIR. DESPITE ALL OF THE NEGATIVES, WE ARE STILL HOLDING ONTO INTENSITY. A BIGGER CONCERN NOW OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS IS THE POTENTIAL OF SIGNIFICANT RAINFALL FROM PUERTO RICO TO HISPANIOLA, INCLUDING HAITI AND THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC AS THIS STORM SYSTEM EITHER CROSSES NORTH OR SOUTH. THE GFS MODEL IS COMING IN MUCH FARTHER TO THE SOUTH. WITH HURRICANE HUNTERS NOW FLYING IN, WE WILL TIGHTEN UP THOSE MODELS AND HOPEFULLY GET A BETTER FIX ON THE CONE. GRADUAL STRENGTHENING IS THE TAKE AWAY WITH THE CONE. MODELS HAVE MOVED MORE TO THE WEST FROM EARLY THIS AFTERNOON TO NOW. YOU CAN SEE MORE OF A JUMP TO THE WEST. WE WILL WATCH THE TRENDS. ONE OF THE REASONS WHY IS LOOK AT THE INTENSITY FORECAST. MANY OF THEM BY MONDAY AND TUESDAY ARE NOW INDICATING THE COULD HAVE A HURRICANE. KEEP CHECKING IN. THE GFS AND MOST MODELS ARE MOVING THIS TO THE NORTH. THE EUROPEAN HAS BEEN TO THE WEST FOR THE MOST PART. LOOKING AT THE ENSEMBLES, THIS IS THE PRODUCT WE LIKE TO SHOW. WE NEED YOU TO KEEP CHECKING BACK IN FOR UPDATES. FRIDAY, SATURDAY, SUNDAY, NEAR
