SANDY STORYLINES-VIDBOX RVL

THE STORM HAS ALREADY KILLED AT LEAST TWO PEOPLE.

AN ELDERLY MAN IN JAMAICA AND A WOMAN IN HAITI.

PALM BEACH COUNTY SCHOOLS ARE DISMISSING STUDENTS EARLY TOMORROW.

THEY CANCELLED CLASSES FOR FRIDAY.

SO FAR.NO CANCELLATIONS AT MIAMI DADE OR BROWARD SCHOOLS.

ON OUR SIDE OF THE STATE, WE EXPECT TO SEE STRONG WINDS OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS.

SENIOR CHIEF METEOROLOGIST ROBERT VAN WINKLE JOINS US WITH MORE ON THAT.

FIRST WEATHER-WXWALL

FIRST WEATHERHurricane Sandy will continue to influence our weather through the end of the week and into the upcoming weekend.

As Sandy continues on a northerly track, it will bring flooding rains not only to Jamaica, but eastern Cuba, Haiti, and the

Bahamas. For us, Southwest Florida will stay on the drier side of Sandy, however you will notice an increase in the winds over the next couple of days as Sandy makes its closest approach.

For the remainder of tonight, partly cloudy skies will stick around with overnight lows settling into the lower 70s by morning.

As Sandy moves closer to the Bahamas, our breezy northeasterly wind will set up across the peninsula once again for Thursday keeping the chance for a few spotty showers in the forecast as moisture from the Atlantic gets pulled in our direction from the east. More clouds than sun tomorrow will also keep temperatures in the middle to upper 80s. Expect our windiest day to be on Friday as winds will increase out of the north and northwest to 25 mph gusting close to 40mph throughout the day.
