The timeline has been pushed back a bit, which isn't good. The longer it's over warm water, the stronger it gets.

Its a Tropical storm........ we just had one here last weekend in SC and it was again like most a nothing burger......we get pop up T Storms that are much worse. we head down tomorrow to the parks and it wont be the first time we have has Tropical storm while there. It does keep the crowds low and only the outside rides are impacted

Claudette was a very weak storm. It kept going back and forth between tropical storm and tropical depression. Where I live in SC, it was pretty windy all day on Saturday with some strong gusts every now and then, but nothing bad. Lots of rain on Sunday, but no thunderstorms.

Norway should be the target, not Florida.

Quite honestly, I haven't watched a weather forecast on TV in over a decade. Smartphones and computers, y'all. Welcome to the 21st Century.

How much actual weather makes it to street level in NYC?

Norway Arendelle should be the target, not Florida.

FTFY

Well that pillow of wind is a load of hot air!

TWC is one channel, that yeah, actually is kind of biased. Or fear mongers' I should say. They go for broke on tropic storm coverages, purposefully hyping up or even overstating impacts that frighten people who don't know better. This is the channel that got having their reporter(s) crouch down in water so it appeared to show only their torso above water to make the storm flooding worse then it really was.

The Weather Channel Lost me when they stopped playing Pink Floyd during your local forecast!!!

For anyone who is interested in vintage technology ,here is an interesting article about the custom hardware that was used to show those local forecasts.

For American readers of a certain age, Local on the 8s likely holds a special spot in your heart. The program, once a staple of The Weather Channel, would provide viewers with a text and eventually…

Current forecast is landfall near Tampa as a TS. At the moment looks like TS wind and rain at WDW but things could always change. The last thing we want is for “the storm rage on.”
