Orlando Weather Forecast: Tracking Bertha in the Gulf

That's where we are tracking some showers this afternoon. This is a live look from our grills melbourne camera. You can see dark skies and a lot of showers over there. Let's check in with Noah once again. So no, it was really windy earlier today. How'd that play a role? It's still going to be gusty tomorrow. This is the eastern side of bertha. Okay, it actually got up to about 30 miles an hour today. So uh, in a little breezy day today, breezy again tomorrow, a lot of clouds out there, some sun though in Orlando, but it's definitely on the partly to mostly cloudy side of things out there on this monday evening. All of this is influenced by bertha developing in the gulf. But as we learned by the weekend, we talked about it on friday. If the system came across florida, we would have had a ton of rain. I'll show you that coming up in the news at six. It's going away from us. And when you get so far on the eastern side, you get actually dry air that wraps in, which is why the rain has been kind of sporadic for us. Been a lot more rain, almost a foot of rain parts of the Tampa area. So through the evening, one or two downpours, but we've probably passed the peak for today. One little downpour in Palm Coast that's moving to the north should be done in Daytona. One little good downpour went through Ocala. It's up through Gainesville over the next 15 to 25 minutes. The biggest downpour on board right now is moving through Brevard County to be where that accident is and on 95 here shortly into Cocoa area. Biggest part of the downpour is right from Palm Shores back towards South Patrick Shores. Right now, a couple of flashes of lightning, just generic summer downpour rain rates are about 4 to 5 inches per hour. So in other words, you get an inch of rain in about 14 15 minutes or so heading up towards South Cocoa Beach and the winds while they are gusty, they're not severe, severe winds being 60. So if you're up in Cocoa Beach or South Cocoa Beach heads up for some 30 35 mile an hour gusts coming in here momentarily. And again, all of that is moving south to north on the eastern side of tropical depression number two, which is soon to be Bertha. Winds of 35 miles an hour. It's moving northwest at three miles an hour. Here's the cone. If you missed it from earlier, should become a tropical storm tonight at the latest tomorrow morning. Ah, landfall southern Louisiana Wednesday. Other than the remnants in the south texas friday into saturday, but it will probably fall apart by them. Here's the zoom in. Now it will reach his peak intensity as a decent tropical storm on Wednesday, just off the coast of Pensacola. Then you can see, uh, that area of Lake Pontchartrain around New Orleans is gonna get pretty prolonged east to west when there will be actually a decent storm surge for being just a tropical storm. You gotta remember with storm surges, the angle of attack that makes all the big difference. And this has got a prolonged period where all the wind is going like this on the eastern side of the system, pushing water in the Lake Pontchartrain. While it's not gonna be extreme, 3 to 5 ft, 2 to 4 ft, something like that into the New Orleans area around Gulfport as well. Then down towards home in the southern parts of Louisiana before it weekends. Now, this graphic I think tells the story and it is very rare. The Hurricane Center has discussed this in their forecast. You can read on their website. It is very rare in the gulf for a tropical system to be sheared from the north. What that does is push all of the weather on the west side. You may remember over the years if you've been here in florida for a while, we always tell you in the weather report that the dirty side, the bad side is the east side. Well, 95% of the time that is the case. Not in this scenario. The wind is blowing really strong in the high atmosphere from north to south that pushes all the weather left of the center. See all really heavy rain over the gulf, but only about 2 to 5 inches of rain up in the florida panhandle over the next couple of days. So still some storms tomorrow, many low end, but the heat, our next big story, mostly dry Wednesday, thursday, friday back into the upper nineties. All right, time for our mystery camera. And I think no, I kind of ruined it for all of us. I have no, I apologize. Forgive me. I have said I will not be doing that in the breaks anymore. I mean, right. Do we agree? I agree. Watch it not be like the Hudson River in new york. What if I just said that was Hoboken on the other side? Do I get credit for that too? Right. Where do you think the camera is? We're looking at Hoboken, right? Aren't we? Uh, not positive to make that argument. Can't I can't tell you for sure. Okay. 24 7 concierge policy to fulfill any request as long as it's legal. Interesting. The Morgan Stanley building was famous for its digital displays central park larger than the entire principality of Monaco. Pretty to walk around there. No, I has agreed no longer to make guesses on the first hit. Correct. Keep them to yourself so that I would have totally been wrong. So you just got, you know, I appreciate. No, I also would have been wrong. I didn't think I was new york. You're the only smart. I'm the worst. I know I'm the worst. I'm sorry everybody. I'm guilty of doing the same when there's a ballpark in there. Yeah. So we're gonna get, we'll get, we'll get on you. I'll stop as well this week. Yes. We've made a pack. Got it. All right.
