this is the hilton clearwater beach cam. a couple of bands of rain go by and heavier rain moves off the coast. this is th t 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. of great sunset. not much coming up wednesday and thursday nights as we get more clouds and rain. it looks like the storm maybe jogged a little bit to the 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 over us. we may get rain as early as early to mid-morning in some of the viewing area. already rain out here. you just get incr

hilton clearwater beach cam, clouds off in the distance, few bright spots to end the day but overall more in the way of clouds again kind of remnants of what we've seen all day long. weather headlines the heat and and lloyd, it's going to continue through week and beyond that as well. we got to get through a couple of months of this. southwest wind conning through next few days but we start to transition to more of a west wind. that tends to bring morning coastal showers inland. still watching this batch of showers off to the south working through sarasota coirnts. with that, ending the day on a bit of a wet note. almanac got up to too high of 75, curng temperature 87?, dew point 76, barometer 0.35 inches and falling. winds across the southeast, at 8. and still in frostproof. in fact in this hour you factor in the unanimity and you know why you're in triple digit heat index value. this is what it feels like when you combine the heat and humidity. feels like 97 even in and around tampa so another hot evening. watch those showers to the south and east, maybe they'll cool us off a bit.

back to the west hilton clearwater beach cam. again, beach is a good place to be as you head to the next couple of days. brookdale, bayshore not a cloud in site. a gorgeous blue sky. lakeland you see the sun off in the distance and no clouds in sight either. here is your beach forecast for today. talking 88 to 91. so hot. feel that breeze coming off the water. that will feel pretty nice. partly cloudy. a few evening thunderstorms. i think for the beaches the most part at least, the rain or storms should hold off until later on in the evening. highs today or current temperatures 81 degrees. dew point of 74. humidity 79%. it is 81 in tampa. 82 in sarasota. 82 in tallahassee. you widen out the view. 81 in charlotte. 77 in atlanta. 80 in san antonio. 78 in houston. even wider view. look at that. cooler temperatures across the meanwhile, look at new york. that is not a mistake. 87 degrees at 9 a.m. for new york city is incredible. incredible for them. all right, here is the satellite and radar view for us there. the showers back off t

hilton clearwater beach cam, storms rolling on later on this evening, you hear thunder, time to get off the beach and wait 30 minutes after that last rumble of thunder before you head back to the beach. good news, just about everybody did get off the beach as the storms rolled through and ended end the day, a pretty nice looking sunset. for our weather headlines, fast moving east to west storms, building back to the west coast. invest 99l you heard us chat going it, still uncertainty about it. rain chances depend on at happens with that invest. if it doesn't directly impact us, looks like it will add direct impacts on our weather. morning highs across the rest of the area, how about 97 in brandon. 95 in sarasota, 94 in new port richey. low 90s inland. hot and steam yichy and still pretty warm relative humidity 85%. it's 78 in new port richey, 77 in lakeland, 77 in bartow, 70 in arcadia. dew points sitting in the low 70s. keep that humidity going. here it is. and again you can't even really pinpoint where it is. the point being, it's just disorganized. right, we haven't seen that center

hilton clearwater beach cam. pretty nice-looking ending to the day again with those warm waters. do you want to be careful if you were in the water. toward bradenton beach. a pretty good ending maybe more in the way of mid and high-level clouds filtering the sunshine, but all in all time to ask for a better august weekend in terms of rainfall. we didn't have a whole lot of rain today. in fact a couple of showers leftover right now out across highlands, hardee and desoto. heavy downpours southeast h hardee, desoto county as well, and into areas of lake placid the heavy downpours oscil oscillating, meandering, not home with lot of movement to them and not a whole lot of lightning with them as well. we will continue to see these showers drop off and die off through the next couple of hours. 90 degrees. the dew point. current at 73. relative humidity at 57%. barometer at 40.01 and falling. and here are temps across the area. 91 in brandon. 90 for you in lake placid. 91 in winter haven. you factor in the humidity that has been oppressive the last couple of days and feels like 106 in b

this is looking out from the hilton clearwater beach cam. off to the west, you can see a nice looking, calm day on the we'll see seas about two feet or so. so not too, too bad of the then you head inland, this is johns hopkins, looking east, great start to the day, not a whole lot of clouds, plenty of sun. that's the way it will stay. start to see the showers and storms eventually kind of make rrent temperature is 76, dew a. point 74 so pretty humid start to the day. humidity relative at 94%. ba falling and winds out of the east-northeast at 30 miles an hour. 74 in sebring. 72 in bartow, 73 in lakeland. 73 up in crystal river. dew points sitting in the low to mid 70s. maybe a little less humid than it was, say, 24 hours ago or so, but still, it is august. it will be humid to start the day. those winds coming out of the east so with that, that kind of the big temperature pattern. satellite and radar, there's the area of low pressure that brought us all the rain early in the week, continuing to move farther west but bringing a ton of rain acro

hilton clearwater beach, beautiful water temperatures still at 89 degrees. august now but of course, it's still in the lower 90s for high temperatures. you look upper 70s to start, some mid 70s inland. we're starting the same. we're going to finish the same. 40%. keep an eye for the afternoon and evening showers and thunderstorms. 92 for a high today. 93 for a high temperature tomorrow. and it's really a waiting game and just seeing what happens with this big cloud mass which, yeah, we've been calling it 99l. invest. this is depression. it's not a tropical storm. could it be? absolutely. i think for that to happen, though, it's going to have to the higher elevations, the e of- mountains of hispanola and haiti. there's a big mountain chain here separating this country and you can see a lot of times what that does is tend to disrupt any type of circulation from developing. in general, it's going to move west-northwest and the thing i don't want people to let their guard down about is that while, but there's no low level center. it may take its sweet time and i

here's the hilton clearwater beach cam. you can see the waves have been rough all day and that's going o be the case for the next four or five days, so regardless of the rain, not exactly the weather through midweek. here's how much rain we've seen so far. you see it's pretty scattered% over most of the area. the one exception being out across the nature coves. look at those rainfall totals ot of hernando and citrus counties. we're talking more than 7 inches of rain according to radar estimates on shore. you're talking about 1, 2, 3, 3 and a half inches of rain, right hernando county, close to 2 inches of rain, so certainly this has been the area that's seen the most rain over the last several hours and this will be the area that we'll have to wath closely in the coming days. as far as rain goes right now, not a whole lot of activity out there. a few heavier downpours off to the south, working into sarasota and manatee county. >> but there is a flash flood watch in effect through tuesday morning. heaviest rain near the coas
