[00:00:01]NEWS APP, BROOK.

[00:00:02]ALL RIGHT.

[00:00:03]AWESOME THERE, STEPHEN.

[00:00:04]THANK YOU.

[00:00:05]GOOD MORNING.

[00:00:05]IMPACT WEATHER FOR TODAY RIGHT NOW.

[00:00:07]STILL A BIT OF A QUIET BUT HUMID, MUGGY START.

[00:00:10]THAT HUMIDITY IS MAKING TEMPERATURES FEEL SO ICKY.

[00:00:13]THIS MORNING DID HAVE A COUPLE SPOTTY SHOWERS EARLIER NEAR THE JUPITER AREA.

[00:00:16]SOME LIGHT RAIN NEAR ABACOA AND THEN JUST ON JUPITER.

[00:00:18]SO WE’LL CONTINUE TO WATCH THAT FOR YOU THIS MORNING.

[00:00:21]AND RIGHT ALONG NORTH MILITARY DRIVE.

[00:00:23]BUT LATER TODAY WE’RE TALKING SCATTERED RAIN, THUNDERSTORMS, 1 OR 2 STORMS THAT COULD LEAN ON THE STRONG TO EVEN SEVERE SIDE.

[00:00:29]SO SOME STORMS CAPABLE OF PRODUCING THAT VERY HEAVY RAINFALL AND FREQUENT LIGHTNING.

[00:00:34]OF COURSE, WHEN THUNDER ROARS, HEAD INDOORS.

[00:00:36]ON TOP OF THAT, AN ISOLATED SEVERE THUNDERSTORM CAN PRODUCE HAIL UP TO AN INCH AND EVEN WINDS UP TO 60MPH.

[00:00:41]TORNADO THREAT IS LOW FOR TODAY, BUT STILL SOMETHING WE DON’T COMPLETELY RULE OUT, ESPECIALLY WITH THIS TIME OF THE YEAR AND THIS MUCH INSTABILITY IN OUR ATMOSPHERE.

[00:00:49]SO TAKE A LOOK AS WE HEAD THROUGHOUT THE MID HOURS OF THE AFTERNOON.

[00:00:53]TODAY WE’LL SEE A COUPLE SPOTTY SHOWERS HERE AND THERE.

[00:00:55]BUT AFTER WE GET THROUGH 2:03 P.M., THAT’S WE’LL START TO SEE SCATTERED RAIN AND STORMS BUILDING IN, ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE TREASURE COAST FIRST AND THEN EVENTUALLY INTO THE PALM BEACH COUNTY AREA A LITTLE AFTER 5:00.

[00:01:03]THAT’S WHERE WE COULD SEE SOME STRONGER THUNDERSTORMS JUST ALONG BEE LINE HIGHWAY.

[00:01:08]AND ALSO INTO INLAND PORTIONS OF INDIAN RIVER COUNTY.

[00:01:10]SAINT LUCIE COUNTY HEADING INTO THE LATER EVENING HOURS, WE’LL SEE THOSE SHOWERS AND STORMS DRIFT OFF TOWARDS THE EAST ALONG THE TURNPIKE 95.

[00:01:16]SO DEFINITELY PLAN FOR.

[00:01:17]MOST LIKELY A VERY WET COMMUTE.

[00:01:18]JUST BE VERY PATIENT ON THE ROADS.

[00:01:20]OF COURSE, WE ARE GOING TO BE ON THE LOOKOUT FOR 1 OR 2 STRONG TO EVEN SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS LATER IN THE DAY TODAY.

[00:01:26]HERE’S A LOOK AT THE SKYCAM NETWORK 84 WITH THE FEELS LIKE TEMPERATURE IN THE LOW 90S.

[00:01:30]IT IS A VERY HOT AND STEAMY DAY TODAY.

[00:01:33]NEXT 12 HOURS IMPACT WEATHER KICKING IN FOR THOSE LATE AFTERNOON HOURS.

[00:01:36]SO AGAIN, WE’RE GOING TO BE TRACKING THE POTENTIAL FOR 1 OR 2 STRONGER THUNDERSTORMS HERE ACROSS THE AREA TUESDAY.

[00:01:42]MORE IMPACT WEATHER ON THE WAY.

[00:01:44]WE HAVE SOME STRONG STORMS AS WELL EXPECTED THROUGH THE AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING.

[00:01:48]WE’LL SEE SCATTERED RAIN AND STORMS FILLING IN AND THROUGHOUT THE AREA THERE.

[00:01:52]UPPER 80S IN THE FORECAST.

[00:01:53]COME WEDNESDAY, LOOK FOR A COUPLE MORE SCATTERED SHOWERS HERE ACROSS SOUTH FLORIDA AND THE TREASURE COAST.

[00:01:58]MID MORNING THROUGH THE EARLY HALF OF THE AFTERNOON, WE COULD SEE SOME OF THOSE SHOWERS DRIFTING OFF TOWARDS THE EAST.

[00:02:03]AGAIN, ISOLATED THUNDE
