Powerful cat 4 typhoon maggie slammed taiwan this morning with winds of 135 Miles Per Hour gusting up to 160. Make landfall in the island nation in the past two weeks. Schools, businesses, airports all closed across taiwan as that storm approached. The concern now deadly mudslides and flash flooding. Maggie could dump as much as 20 inches of rain on taiwan before it heads to sea. Makes landfall on eastern china tomorrow. Lets check with shay. Monitoring a tropical disturbance from the atlantic. Its at this point were not completely in the clear because of the general direction that let me show you a little more. At this point we dont have a number or named storm but its likely to happen any time between now and the next couple of days as this system continues to churn here just to the east of the Lesser Antilles. As you look at the Spaghetti Models you can see that it is going to be moving across the Lesser Antilles in the next couple of days and then were hoping that its going to start to make a turn to the north. If this happens where it turns north around the time it gets republic and haiti then it will stay off into the atlantic and stay away from the mainland u. S. But if it continues on more of a westerly track and stays south of cuba, then it could get a little questionable about whether or not its going to start to hook north a little later and effect us or head into the gulf. Thats where we want to continue to keep a close eye on it until sunday, when well start to see when whether or not it will make that turn to the north. Somewhere between friday and sunday i think pretty good idea of what is going to happen with the storm. Between now and then keep a close eye on it. Were mostly dry, rain approaching but most of the area is the dry side. Best chance of rain in the first half of the day so before noon, along the coastline so the i75 corridor. After noon well start to see more showers and storms bubbling up, all across tampa bay and heading inland. Futurecast agrees with my forecast. You can see how it comes 75 corridor at noon. And on top of tampa bay. Then continues to become hit or miss as it moves inland through 4 00. After 4 00 we may even see some of this pulling back across our coastline, bottom line its going to be rather hit or miss across the area with about 30 coverage. Its not going to be the wettest day but still have a chance for those hit or miss showers and storms at times today. Tomorrow that west wind continues so well have a chance around 9 00 in the morning for the showers to begin setting coastline again. On average this time of year we should be starting the day around 73 degrees, ending around 88. We have not been anywhere near the averages lately. Weve started our days in the mid to upper 70s and ending in the low 90s. Were still going to stay on the hot side the next couple of days but weve got a cool front coming through thursday. Look what happens as a result. Temperatures are at or even a little below average as we get into the weekend. Starting saturday morning off degrees its going to feel like fall. Finally. Still to come a big fight is brewing over the Citrus CountyAnimal Shelter. Why protesters are planning demonstrations today. A little girl makes a special request for lots of presents for her birthday but Citrus County animal lovers demanding changes be made to the countys Animal Shelter.
