tropical storm isaac is gaining strength as it heads into the gulf coast. people living in that region are preparing for the worst after what happened during hurricane katrina seven years ago. hurricane warnings are in effecç across the entire coastal ç region. in louisiana people have been sandbagging throughout the weekend for likely flooding. forecasters say isaac could turn into a category 2 hurricane as it marches toward new orleans. >> now is not the time to panic but it is the time to engage, to get ready throughout the year we talked about being prepared, now is the time to begin to execute. >> the power is out across the southeast, thousands are in the dark in that area. >> isaac changed the schedule for the republican convention iç tampa. it's all but scrapped for today as the storm bears down. tracie potts is live in florida as the weather puts a damper on the republican party. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. it looks like we may have dodged

a bullet for the most part, lots of rain here earlier today and we may get more, flooding is still a big concern but we'll not according to the forecasters, take the brunt of this storm. it is headed toward new orleans. however, the day's events had already been canceled. they are going to meet for about five minutes to officially open the convenfion, and then come back tomorrow trying to squeeze all of the day's activities and events and speakers from two days into one. what does that mean? the big question, are they going to be able to get out the me message the mitt romney story as the chair of the rnc calls it. they have less time to do so, less time here to convince the public that he should replace president obama. and insiders admit the big challenge is going to be improving the mitt romney likability factor. they think when it comes to the economy they can catchç up wit this very narrow lead the presidentç seems to have in mo

national polls, but whether or not people can really sort of trust that mitt romney is the guy who is going to help them out, that remains their biggest concern and what a lot of this convention is all about, introducing those swing voters to the mitt romney that they hope will be able to win this election. in terms of logistics because they lost a day we're going to see fewer speakers, some had to be cut out. ann romney instead of monday will be tomorrow night along with governor chris christieç d the roll call vote for the nomination for presidentç and vice president from this party, that's going to happen tomorrow. >> interesting to see. thank you very much. in fact, hundreds of california republicans are on the way to florida as well for the convention, among them a bay area congressional candidate who was invited to speak at the event. 25-year-old ricky gill is running for his ninth district. gill says he plans to use his 2-minute address to talk about

the place he was born and raised and to draw attention to an area he says has long beenç forgott by washington. >>:ári anoujsed my campaign there was not a single state or local representative who lived in this seat. we're going to restore this place in politics. >> gill is hoping to unseat jerry mcnerney. >> 5:44. good morning. it's the last week of august already. so what does mother nature have in store for us? >> oh, she's going to spoil us this week. she should because we work hard for the moneyç especially us ladies. good morniég. as you pick out your wardrobe, maybe picking out your back-to-school wardrobe as many students across the bay area will be headed off to school for the first day. and temperatures, you want to dress them for the two parts. 51 degrees in livermore. 51 in concord so it's crisp out

there, as our days get shorter, nights longer, morning lows coming down a touch. so it's cooler this week every morning than it was last week. you'll notice that difference. 47 to start out in santa rosa. you might need aç jacket up there. temperatures are going to beç very comfortable throughout day. 80 in santa rosa, 81 in los gatos. and 83 up in santa rosa. an area of low pressure is going to situate itself right here off the pacific northwest coast and sit and spin the next 4 hate 72 hours. as a result temperatures will not soar because high pressure is still in control. this is going to dive to the south a touch keeping our cool costline, bay area weather. looks so good with that area of low pressure sitting çthere. really no fluctuation inç term ever our highs. cool winds today. a nice sea breeze. you might have to tie down loose

objects. 88 degrees on tuesday, comfortable conditions, happy to bring you this forecast. as we had to deal with a hot of extremes so far this year. finally getting consistent weather that's typical for this time of the season. 83 by friday. a comfortable week ahead. i notice more traffic even coming in the very early hours so. what a) you tracking? >> we were watching that shift. continue to get into session, this week at san mateo canyon, those coming in. to the altamont we see it start to slow around grantline road. now up to the 40s as that burst sorts itself out. still no accidents reported and that's great news for the tri-valley. 680 and 880, smooth as well. tully road, to or from 101 there may be an issue at mçclaughlin.

the freewayç is moving smoothl past that scene. we'll show you there is some slowing for north 101 north of 680 up toward 880, a live look shows you why. the volume of traffic is continuing to build. just around 55 at the worst spot but the build continues throughout morning for 101 and up through palo alto. a hive look shows you a lighter floor but still at the limit all the way toward san francisco. westbound i saw flashing lights, see if they areç still there. on the flat section looks like no incidents for 92. i'll track that and the bay bridge still moving but the cash lanes, you got to wait. back to you. >> thank you. san jose community is on edge this morning, residents say several unwanted guests have moved in. coyotes. we have the details. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. some of the evidence that neighbors point to is pretty

gruesome but it is the reason why people are going more and more concerned not only forç ps but for the children who live and goútf school in the area. some of the -- a number of the residents, of the incidents that is, have taken place on vn der built drive, finding cats that look like they have been mauled. others say their cat has fallen victim to coyotes. one family has seen and heard coyotes howling on their front yard. even if it is determined there are coyotes not a lot can be done. the department of fish and game cannot legally trapç and reoctober coyotes.ç neighbors want to at the very least raise awareness so people can be prepared. according to coyote experts there are a number of things to do. fallen fruit, open trash container and sources of water can attract coyotes.
