Rain Chances All Week

**RAIN AND MORE RAIN POSSIBLE**
We keep rain chances in our forecast each day this week. Precipitation chances are in the 40-50% range. Our Tuesday weather will be affected by the remnants of Tropical Storm Claudette which roared ashore around Fort Walton Beach, FL overnight. Claudette appears to be moving slower than first expected.

**TROPICS REPORT** (short and sweet)
Tropical Storm Ana is fizzling out and not expected to grow while Bill is now a hurricane with maximum sustained winds of 75 mph.

Fun Weather Site of The Day
Today's FWSOTD stays with the Hurricane/Tropical theme. It is called the Caribbean Hurricane Network and is found by going to STORM CARIB. This site is a network of people who live in and around the Caribbean Islands. As storms approach, it is very interesting to read what they write. Real people who face real danger. Check them out today!
