After a few showers overnight, things have begun to dry out just a bit across Southwest Florida.
A few patchy clouds will start our Thursday morning with mainly dry weather on tap, although it will be on the warm side with temperatures in the middle to upper 70s. Through the afternoon, we're in store for a nice mix of sun and clouds as daytime highs climb into the lower to middle 90s with heat index values near 100°.
After being in a moist southwest flow over the last several days, steering winds will begin to shift more to the east and southeast. This will keep about a 30% chance for showers and storms a bit closer to home during the peak heating of the day as the sea breeze begins to make it's way inland.
In the tropics, Tropical Depression #10 formed yesterday morning, but looks to stay well out in the Atlantic waters. Our main concern right now is Tropical Storm Isaac, as all of Southwest Florida remains in the forecast cone. As conditions become a bit more favorable in the Caribbean, gradual strengthening is imminent with a category one hurricane as it nears the island of Hispaniola. The current track has Isaac working it's way over the mountainous regions of Haiti and Eastern Cuba, which will more than likely disrupt the center of circulation and therefore weaken it possibly intro a tropical storm. Once it moves across the warm waters of the Florida Straits, intensification is possible with a category one hurricane nearing the Florida coast by late Sunday and early Monday.

"Contingency plans are in place should a worse case scenario happen but again we're moving forward and fully expect to put on a convention here in the tampa bay times forum next week."
BUT TAMPA'S MAYOR SAYS THE CITY IS PREPARED TO CALL IT OFF IF NECESSARY.
"If things continue the way they are that we would do something in terms of an activation early Saturday."
OVER THE PAST FEW DAYS THE ROMNEY-RYAN TICKET HAS BEEN TRYING TO DISTANCE ITSELF FROM THE THE TODD AKIN "LEGITIMATE RAPE" CONTROVERSEY.
THAT FORCED REPUBLICAN VICE PRESIDENTIAL HOPEFUL PAUL RYAN TO CLARIFY HIS/i POSITION ON ABORTION FOR THE FIRST TIME ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL:
/ Vice Presidential Candidate
"I'm proud of record. Mitt Romney is going to be the President; the President sets policy. His policy is exceptions for rape, incest, life of the mother. I'm comfortable with it because it's a good step in the right direction."
IN IOWA -ROMNEY TRIED TO KEEP THE FOCUS ON THE NATIONAL DEBT AND THE ECONOMY.
Presidential Candidate
"We've now had four years in a row with a President that's built trillion-dollar deficits. It's bad economics."
THERE'S NO WAY TO TELL HOW QUICKLY THE AKIN DISTRACTION WILL GO AWAY BUT DEMOCRATS ARE HOPING TO MAKE IT LAST AS LONG AS POSSIBLE.

After a few showers overnight, things have begun to dry out just a bit across Southwest Florida.
A few patchy clouds will start our Thursday morning with mainly dry weather on tap, although it will be on the warm side with temperatures in the middle to upper 70s. Through the afternoon, we're in store for a nice mix of sun and clouds as daytime highs climb into the lower to middle 90s with heat index values near 100°.
After being in a moist southwest flow over the last several days, steering winds will begin to shift more to the east and southeast. This will keep about a 30% chance for showers and storms a bit closer to home during the peak heating of the day as the sea breeze begins to make it's way inland.
In the tropics, Tropical Depression #10 formed yesterday morning, but looks to stay well out in the Atlantic waters. Our main concern right now is Tropical Storm Isaac, as all of Southwest Florida remains in the forecast cone. As conditions become a bit more favorable in the Caribbean, gradual strengthening is imminent with a category one hurricane as it nears the island of Hispaniola. The current track has Isaac working it's way over the mountainous regions of Haiti and Eastern Cuba, which will more than likely disrupt the center of circulation and therefore weaken it possibly intro a tropical storm. Once it moves across the warm waters of the Florida Straits, intensification is possible with a category one hurricane nearing the Florida coast by late Sunday and early Monday.
