julie phillips. >> thank you, stacy. and a lot of rain in the forecast for us over the next few days, only increasing at this point. the last advisory to come out from the national hurricane center, was at 11:00 a.m. and at that point, the max winds were thrill 36 miles per hour. still tropical depression 9. we have been awaiting this to become a tropical storm for about 24 hours at this point. it's just not in the best of environments. the gulf waters may be warm. but it's facing a lot of wind shear. that's really preventing too much in the way of so you can see, it's still looking fairly disorganized on our satellite imagery. in the southern portions of the gulf at this point. moving to the west/northwest at 7 miles per hour. by thursday afternoon, thursday evening, we're expecting this to make landfall in the big bend region of florida. and at this point, expecting it to be a fairly strong tropical storm as it makes landfall land. then it really moves quickly as

notice, by friday morning, it's already into the atlantic, moving away from us. so we're really narrowing in on the next couple of days. hurricane hunters were out investigating the storm this afternoon. only found winds to 39 miles per hour. we'll have to wait to see if it is upgraded at the 5:00 update. here's a look at our forecast winds. right now, we are expecting it to make landfall in the big bend region of florida. if it does that, tropical storm forced winds may be limited to mainly our northern counties at this point. because we have that southwesterly flow, pushing water. again, closer to the coast. around high tide, tuesday. that's going to be the time frame thursday afternoon. where we could see the potential for some coastal, tidal flooding. we'll have more on the tropics. more on what rain chances look like in the next couple of days, coming up in your full forecast. guys. >> and right now, we have breaking news to bring you, just into our newsroom.

fetch of water from the southwest, directly onshore. square to the beach. so what that does is helps the water get pushed further up the coastline. and what it also does is helps push extra water into tampa bay. and it doesn't allow it to flow out. so as we head towards that high tide cycle that julie mentioned between the middle part of the afternoon. that's where we'll see the best potential for flooding. plus, bay -- expected on top that was. wasn't too strong of a tropical system. but doesn't take too much with tropical storms. that had storms sustained around 50 miles per hour. we had flooding issues on the bay. we had beach erosions. that's something we're going to need to track very closely, as the storm approaches. stacie and josh. >> ian oliver, inpassa grove.
