SAHARAN DUST 🏜️🐪 It's that time of the year again! Plumes of dust will be heading west from Africa over the next 2 weeks...some of which could head aloft into the United States. Helps to suppress tropical activity in impacted areas and can lead to an extra vibrant glow at sunrise & sunset. Here's the latest model:

NEW ADVISORY: The recent strengthening of #Isaias has slowed and even halted for now. Their updated forecast has a 115 MPH, Category 3 offshore of the Florida Panhandle by early this evening. In theory, with some weakening towards landfall, that would have it crossing the coast as a Category 2. Please take the surge forecast of 6-9 feet seriously!

Best way to think about it is that Florida will see a one-two punch. The first one will bring us rain Sunday into Monday with an area of low pressure along a stalled out front. Then the 2nd, main punch from tropical storm or hurricane approaches on Tuesday into Wednesday. WINK News

TROPICAL UPDATE: Here's the latest GRAF model for the area pinned with a 20% chance of tropical development. The model historically is more aggressive / stronger than others, but does highlight the development of a low in the Gulf by the weekend. Regardless of development, it will help to bump up rain chances for Florida the next several days.

UPDATE: A tropical wave will be heading towards Florida by Friday and potentially towards the coastal Carolinas this weekend. It will help to enhance the development of scattered storms and bump up rain chances during that time frame. Shown below are not rainfall totals, but atmospheric moisture levels. Normally Florida is around 1.8" this time of the year and you'll notice the tropical wave brings us up to around 2.1"...helping to bring in more storms. #Florida

Interesting set-up for Florida Friday into the weekend as an upper level low comes in from the Atlantic. This low will help to usher in temperatures aloft roughly 8 - 10 degrees colder than normal. As a result, it creates greater instability and lower freezing levels...leading to more hail (and larger) along with frequent lightning and heavy rain. In short...storms will likely have an additional "kick" to them into the weekend.

#ISAIAS RADAR: Minor wobbles, but overall the storm is still following the forecast path (red) as of 3 PM ET. I'm now seeing multiple areas of strong rotation that'll be heading towards the Big Bend and Panhandle in the hours ahead. Tornadoes will be possible, stay alert!

HURRICANE ISAIAS: New hour-by-hour model showing the landfall between Mobile Bay (AL) and Navarre Beach (FL), especially near the state line Friday evening into early Saturday morning. A peak of Category 2 or 3 is possible in the Gulf, with some weakening towards landfall. It will not be a weak storm though. It’ll still be impactful with heavy rain, storm surge up to 5-7 feet, hurricane-force gusts over (at least) 75+ mph and tornadoes. If you're in the path with impacts expected, hurricane prep needs to be completed no later than Friday morning. I'll continue to keep you updated 24/7. #Isaias

#BREAKING: New video of a (likely) tornado today at the Keystone Heights Airport, 25 miles northeast of Gainesville, Florida. Right now the National Weather Service NWS Jacksonville has this in as a funnel cloud because you technically can't see ground contact, but I suspect this will be investigated. Michael Potapow, who took the video, said he saw grass and leaves being launched up into the funnel. My vote is tornado, but the NWS has the final say. I'll keep you posted. 🌪️ #StormHour James Spann Jim Cantore

TROPICAL UPDATE: Here's a great visual from the European Model showing vorticity or atmospheric spin. Starts disorganized and broad over western Africa and then starts to tighten up...much like a spinning ice skater would who pulls in their outstretched arms and starts to spin faster.
