* Model runs from the National Hurricane Center this morning continue to bring the tropical wave that is now around Cuba and Haiti westward and northwestward through the Florida Straits and into the Gulf of Mexico by this weekend. The majority of the model runs are bringing the system across the Gulf and toward the Southeast Texas and Southern Louisiana coasts. We'll keep an eye on this system as it's likely "Bonnie" could make her debut this weekend.
* Hot Weather Safety: Medical experts remind everyone to be extremely careful when outside in the hot and humid weather. Some safety tips recommended include drinking plenty of water and taking frequent breaks in a cool spot. Also be sure to check on the elderly and your pets. You should also wear light colored clothing and don't forget to apply the sunscreen regularly. If you can you should up off your outdoor activities until early in the morning and into the evening to avoid the peak heating hours. An average of 175 Americans succumb to hot weather during the summer months across the country.
