one of their items for sale. you're watching fox 13, and the 11:00 news starts now. we are watching very closely, of course, tropical depression number 9 out there churning off the coast of cuba. right now, expected to make landfall north of the bay area as you see there putting us in a path where we will certainly see some yun update. >> paul: this is the new tract. first, area low pressure slowing becoming better organized. we can tell that by the satellite presentation and also when we sdmzoom it like this an you see all the red, a lot of people think this is radar imagery. it's not. this is infrared satellite, and when you see the purple and red,

cloud tops indicate very tall thunderstorms that are producing a lot of wind and rain, lightning sometimes, too. they're getting awfully close to the center, so when you see that big flare-up which happens quite often at night with tropical systems, it's a sign there's slow organiztion. this is a new advisory and the pressure is down from 1,007 to 1,003 millibars. storm is it moving west at up, this could be tropical storm hermine, unless the storm off the carolina coast beats it. it will be tropical storm watch or hurricane watch up for her our west coast certainly by -- it has to be beforeoo as the 5: tomorrow morning. so a big right hand turn, no real change to reasoning. a little trough coming into the gulf of mexico will steer the storm northeast, and as i've

south of it. it brings with it a lot of heavy rain for us, and also we see a spell of strong winds from the west and southwest. you know what happens? you have 6 to 12 hours of winds off the wa wel f storm surge at leastavera and there's ?areas ofheavy rain easily 4 to 8, maybe more than that. also on thursday we'll be in the unstable side, and some of those squall tornadoes during the day on thursday. that's the three factors, coastal flooding, some heavy rain, isolated tornadoes. most of that later wednesday night into thursday. then it's gone. computer models, watching them and all still insist on that sharp right-hand turn, which is somewhat unusual for a storm to do in august. this is more of an october thing when cold fronts typically get into the gulf and kind of steer tropical systems northeast. so that's that.

more about td number 9 coming up at about 11:20. i will see you then. >> we sure will. of course, you heard paul, so be prepared and be ready. that's the message tonight as people are getting sandbags ready in those flood-prone areas. even without a direct hit, our northern counties will definitely feel affects. how some people are out ahead of the wind and the rain. >> reporter: sandbags like this one are the hot item today in pasco the government center is one of the several locations offering these sandbags. the storm in the gulf raising major concerns over flooding here. we've seen that time and time again, and this one likely won't be any different. the county is preparing for a potential category 1 hurricane and wants residents to do the same. of course, it may not be that strong, but as always, plan for the worst and hope for the best. the county is really worried about the winds associated with this storm. they could lead to flying

trees which can knock out power. the power companies are preparing for that, but residents should, too, by getting batteries and other items. >> we want people to be prepared and be aware. people need to prepare and go out and get food, water, batteries for their electronic devices to that they can keep in touch with what's going on here. >> i want to get the house sealed off and everything ready in case water comes up. >> sandbags are available from 7:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. here at the government center in pasco county as well as two other locations in pasco. so far now called for at this point. if that happens, it will likely be on wednesday. one more thing to note. the rivers appear to be in decent shape right now. they're below action stage, which is actually below flood stage. so good news there. of course, that could all change depending on the movement of the storm, and you know fox 13 will be keeping a very close eye on it. in pasco county, josh cascio, fox 13 news. >> for a list of sandbag locations around the bay areas

go to our website, fox13news.com. it's all right there. new at 11:00, a pinellas county charter school is defending itself tonight after parents say their children were exposed to mold although the school. ogge byccusations from me of spa have been evasive and lackadaisical in how they responded to the serious health problem. evan axelbank is live in largo tonight where a meeting wrapped up. i think the parents had strong opinions, didn't they? >> reporter: they do, and th aisle here, so to speak. for the first time tonight the administrators here admitted that there was mold in the building, however, they say that mold has been cleaned and that further tests showed that those cleanings were successful. about half the parents still didn't buy it. first an accusation. >> there's a spot behind here that looks covered up that was squishy. >> reporter: then the response

leave with an iphone6s so they tackled him there. watch her get in a couple kicks. they held him there until deputies arrived. >> my father was a boxer. he just taught us the basics so that if somebody was try to attack us, we could defend ourselves. >> random acts of heroism pays off a little bit. also be careful. you never know what those type of people may have on them. we were lucky inhauspect was there he is not looking too proud. he's charged with robbery and criminal mischief. it caused about $2,000 in damage to that store. there could be a job opening at a smoothie shop in winter haven after an employee was fired after r alford police posted on facebook he and another officer were

a lot more rain is on the way for later this week thanks to this tropical depression, right? >> i think you're right. already today, you know, we had an inch or two, so this is only monday and you had a couple more tomorrow maybe and then wednesday and thursday the real stuff gets going. before you add it up every day, we had a foot of rain, that's how it plays out. today was an interesting day. clouds move along, and look as you put it into motion. this is the hilton clearwater beach cam. a couple of bands of rain go by and heavier rain moves coast. this is the type of day we had. lots of wind in the atmosphere as you go up in height. there's another band of rain going by, and eventually things kind of break up and we have the ultimate kind of tropical sky very late in the day, and that's kind of nice, isn't it? that's on the hilton clearwater beach cam late today. thanks for sending in pictures of great sunset. not much coming up wednesday and thursday nights as we get more clouds and rain. it looks like the storm maybe

southwest, or the center was reforming late today. but definitely a little jog to the southwest. i don't think the overall forecast reasoning has changed at all. we're still looking at plenty of tropical moisture and already tonight, you know, we get areas of rain east of the state. you kind of see the wind flow pivot in from the southeast. tomorrow a lot of rain will whip over us. we may get rain as early as early to mid-morning in some of the viewing area. you just get increasing amounts of tropical moisture as td-9 slowly gets its act together in the gulf of mexico. temperatures now in the 70s and low 80s. again, nothing unusual for this time of day. there's td number 9, and then the stats are 23.9 and 85.5 west and top winds of 35. even though the pressure is dropping, as of yet the

plane could not find winds 39 miles per hour and above. we will keep this as tropical depression number 9, but it will become a tropical storm tomorrow and make a big right-hand turn and head in the general direction of the big bend. it should be making landfall on thursday 8:00. this is wednesday at 8:00. so you're talking about probably mid to late afternoon on thursday. at that time we'll have squalls coming in from the gulf, will have high surf and some erosion. we have some coastal flooding in any one of these rotating squalls from the southwest could produce a tornado on thursday, too. so needless to say, thursday is not going to be a great day. a lot like colin, but the fact that the storm is moving southwest to northeast may pile more water along the coast. the continental shelf off our coastline goes out 90 miles. it's flat.

that continental shelf, you know, for 6 to 12 hours, you blow it at 40, 45, 50 miles per hour, it's really going to pile water along the coast. so that's an issue coming up on thursday. then, by friday and saturday the storm is up by bermuda, and we say good-bye. thre's some limiting factors, though, to intensification. you can see there's a lot of dry air to the west and even dry air west of tampa bay. so that in itself will tend to rapid intensification. we have to watch it because we've seen many times where it looks like the forecast is for it to be a category 1 or tropical storm. you look a couple of days later it's a 2 or 3. i'm not saying that's going to happen, but you have to kind of baby-sit the systems when they sit over very warm waters of the gulf of mexico. water temps are 85 to 89. that's like 93 octane at your gas station. partly cloudy tonight, and we're

thundershowers kind of moving in from the east. and fast-moving, too. near 90. on wednesday probably more persistent showers and thundershowers as the tropical storm gets closer. 85, unsettled wednesday night into thursday. then we will be left in the soup on friday. more showers and thundershowers likely, and dave oser berg will be in tomorrow morning with more, which could be tropical storm hermine tomorrow morning. back to you. >> a lot can happen in a few hours. yep. it's primary day eve here in florida, too. >> we were telling you about that earlier. you may find this handy. there's an app that hopes to put democracy at your fingertips. up next, the orlando area creators who say being familiar with the issues on which you vote matters now more than ever. on this night before the primary, we have predictions and we'll take you behind the scenes where factories are pumping out thousands of political signs and
