6:02 FORECAST ON THE 2'S-WX CENTER

Today's Weather Story

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.

After picking up some heavy downpours last night, things are temporarily drying out across Southwest Florida this morning. There are only a few stray showers as the morning gets started. Through the day today, there will be the chance for showers and storms to work their way ashore and head inland at any time today. It will be another hot and humid day today with high temperatures headed to near 93 degrees.

There is also activity in the tropics. Tropical Storm Isaac is nearly two thousand miles away from Southwest Florida, but it's quickly moving toward the Lesser Antilles and should arrive there tonight. Forecast models continue to strengthen the system Thursday and Friday, and it could potentially develop into a Category 1 hurricane by then.

One of the keys in determining how strong the storm will get is its interaction with Cuba and Hispaniola, where 10,000 foot mountains have been known to rip hurricanes apart. The system's interaction with Cuba and Hispaniola will be critical in determining its strength, and just a change of 50 miles could make all the difference. It's just too early to resolve the finer details at this point.
