Summary

BRUCE BUCKINGHAM: Of course, we can't launch without good weather_ Delta Weather Officer Joel Tumbiolo is here with us today to tell us what's in store. Welcome, Joel. JOEL TUMBIOLO: Thank you, Bruce. Glad to be here. BRUCE BUCKINGHAM: Summertime weather patterns are in full swing right now across Florida, and what kind of weather problems do you have to watch out for this time of year? TUMBIOLO: Well, as you mentioned, during the summer months -- June, July, August -- that is our peak thunderstorm time of the year. So every afternoon, Florida is notorious for having thunderstorms in the area. It's just a matter of where they form and what direction they move once they form. So we'll be monitoring any thunderstorms and, again, the main thing from those thunderstorms is lightning. We do follow the lightning and also the winds from the thunderstorms. BRUCE BUCKINGHAM: Okay, thanks. Well, since we're launching this afternoon, how does the forecast look for today? JOEL
