THIS WEATHERCAST HAS BEEN PREPARED BY THE NBC2 WEATHER STAFF.
IT IS NOT A VERBATIM OF WHAT IS BEING SAID, BUT IS THE FORECAST FOR OUR AREA.
ERNESTO COULD BECOME A HURRICANE TONIGHT
In the tropics, Ernesto is showing signs of becoming better organized again. Some stronger storms are trying to organize around the center, and it has a great chance of strengthening into a hurricane by tonight. When it is all said and done, it could get up to a CAT 2!
The thinking on the path of Ernesto remains unchanged. The storm will continue its westward motion and eventually make landfall over the Yucatan peninsula midweek. Ernesto may then re-emerge into the Bay of Campeche Thursday before finally moving into Central Mexico by the end of the week.
Meanwhile Florence has weakened into a remnant low, and it is going continue weakening as it moves west.
Neither system will have an affect on southwest Florida.
As for our local weather we're going to see less in the way of rain this week, more in the way of hotter temperatures.
Tuesday morning, a few coastal showers will be possible, but they'll be very brief and isolated.
We'll see another round of scattered rain and storms by the afternoon. The storms will probably cover less ground Tuesday compared to Monday as drier air starts to cut into our rain chances.
Wednesday will likely be the driest day of the week, but we still can't rule out a few isolated storms during the afternoon. All and all you'll have nothing to worry about, however, temperatures will rise to near 95!
Normal August weather will continue through the weekend with isolated thunderstorms during the late afternoon and early evening. Temperatures will hold around 93 to 94.
Boating conditions will not be a little rough. Winds are forecasted to be from the south at 15 knots, seas 2-3 feet, and inland waterways will have a light chop.

THIS OVERGROWN BRUSH IS A FINE LINE FOR THE LAMBERT FAMILY.
Wife, she won't walk around. She will not come out.
THE BRUSH IS NEXT TO THE FAMILY'S LEHIGH ACRES HOME.
LAMBERT SAYS ITS FULL OF SNAKES - EVEN RATTLESNAKES.
Snakes - I have done everything I can possibly do to get rid if the snakes.
IT'S BECOME SO NERVE-WRACKING, HE KEEPS HIS GUN CLOSE BY IN CASE ONE TRIES TO TAKE A BITE.
I have my little.45 and that's with bird shot in them. I kill them quite often.
AFTER DEALING WITH THE SNAKES. LAMBERT SAYS HE'S GOTTEN QUITE THE REPUTATION.
I've had people come by here and wave and holler and say, 'Hello snake man.'
.A REPUTATION HE'S READY TO RETIRE.
We looked at the property.
THE LEHIGH ACRES FIRE DEPARTMENT OWNS THE LOT.
CHIEF DON ADAMS SAYS THE DEPARTMENT IS WORKING ON IDEAS TO FIX IT.
We're trying to go everything we can.
SO FAR THEY'VE MADE CALLS FOR ESTIMATES TO HAVE A COMPANY REMOVE THE SNAKES.
BUT SINCE IT WILL COST EXTRA MONEY, THE DISTRICTS BOARD MUST APPROVE IT.
THEY PLAN TO PRESENT IT TO THE BOARD LATER THIS MONTH.
It's hard to spend money when there's not a line item there. So the board can grant money to be spent based in the need do well present the whole case to the board and see if there's any direction the board wants to take on it.
IN THE MEANTIME.
LAMBERT WORRIES ABOUT THE FAMILY'S SAFETY.
SINCE HE SAYS TWO OF HIS DOGS WERE KILLED BY SNAKES THIS YEAR.
It's like the traffic lights. Nobody wants to put up traffic lights till somebody gets killed. Well, do we have to wait for somebody to get killed or bit by a snake before something happens?
LAMBERT SAYS THAT WON'T HAPPEN.
EVEN IF HE HAS TO CLEAR IT HIMSELF.
