Philadelphia, d.c., nashville even looking good today with lots of sunshine. the heat confined to the south. thats where the showers and thunderstorms will be. then we have a secondary area here of thunderstorms. these could be severe across parts of the upper midwest. last but not least, we are watching the tropics for today. look at colin, it was tropical storm, then wasnt, now it is again. now its getting close to bermuda tonight, wave action and heavy showers and thunderstorms. not a huge th...

Those 80s are going to feel great. 82 in chicago. 83 in minneapolis. but the nations middle section here, the central plains, while youre cooler today, we are going to start to watch these temperatures increase by early next week. so get out and enjoy this weekend because were talking triple digits again as we head into monday and tuesday. were still watching the tropics. our tropical system that has a little identity crisis. it was a tropical storm and then it was just the remnants. now were ba...

>> well, i went down there a couple weeks ago and ate the local seafood but one thing you can do is if you want to know what the truth is, go online and look at the report and if you read it carefully, what it actually says is i think you mentioned earlier that half of the oil is still in the water and when you look at how they got to those numbers, youll see theres really nothing in the way of actual measurements. what theyre doing is theyre relying on older studies, for example, studies of wav...

On it? >> vanishing quickly is certainly a different terminology. we have approximately 175 million gallons of oil that is unaccountable in the gulf of mexico south of venice. oil thats been contaminated with the dispersant, sub-surface oil. what we are seeing depending on the currents, conditions, wave action, this oil is now moving inshore from underneath. you dont see it as it is approaching. it inundates the coastlines, the richest area of the delta region south of venice. we have to be conc...

Warn and the warrant, of a tropical storm or a hurricane, he will not hesitate to evacuate the area. protecting human life is the most important but also he wants to protect all of those vessels that are responding because, if they are somehow incapacitated by a hurricane, they are of no use in the future. >> jamie: but they got a break with bonnie, right? no impact from the storm? >> reporter: yeah, they are still assessing it but it appears that bonnie may have had a beneficial impact. look at...

Theyll take preparations, be prepared. theyve dealt with so much. these people can persevere. but in terms of the other efforts, obviously ships are coming closer to shore, thats something thats a move they made to protect people that are out there but you remember also the good effects this has. a lot of wave action, breaking up some of the oil. thats certainly good news to help it dissolve. thats great news. also just the idea of going through these preparations for a busy season thats still y...

Landfall. we have had a lot worst storms, regular old storms that move on through. the oil has been the big storm. we learned with alex, which was hundreds of miles away, that it doesnt take that powerful of a storm or even one very close to the oil spill to have impact and cause problems. so thats why we are going to continue to track this thing very closely. the winds, with whats left with bonnie, for the most part, have been pulling things offshore. we are going to start to see more of that o...

The question is, though, when it moves out here, what exactly could happen? all the models have this thing die when it gets into the middle of the gulf of mexico. remember, these storms can be fickle. it is the time of year we see these things develop especially in places like the gulf of mexico where the water seems to be very warm. it may be moving into this area. we will watch it carefully. one thing we want to do, the imagery we have, i will tell you this tool at a minimum will show as this ...

Disturbance. that ask basically just means wind shear to break the storm apart all along its track. and, because of that we dont think it will strengthen all that much. this is the official track of the storm. i put the line on here, if we do see this cut kind of in the center and then through where the oil spill is, shepard. you see its just to the left of it thats the bad side of the storm. that would be where we see the strongest of the wind. the worst of any kind of wave action pushing right...

Bags. fox news cannot confirm that the tar balls came from the deep water horizon spill in the gulf of mexico but officials stay is highly unusual to see that much oil washed up there. if the testing shows they did come from the bp spill, it would prove that some of the oil has been swept around floridas peninsula. meanwhile the tar balls found in texas over the weekend are, indeed, linked to the bp spill. crews found them washed ashore in the galveston area. the governments point man on the res...
