"It will be a Monday or Tuesday event for us in Central Florida with the cone of projected movement taking in the entire of state of Florida," Local 6 meteorologist Tom Sorrells said. "Tropical Storm Fay is bound for Florida based on what the Hurricane Center sees at the moment."Some of the projected paths push the storm west Sunday night."If it gets all the way into the Gulf of Mexico, that is an ugly, ugly scene," Sorrells said. "It is tornado alley time all of the sudden. It could turn out to be a big, huge mess."The latest modeling shifted the storm over the Dominican Republic into Haiti and then into Cuba."Keep in mind, once these storms hook up with these islands, they jump around and the center will relocate to the north of the island or something weird happens," Sorrells said. "Sometimes they storms get sheared all to pieces. That would be great."Sorrells said that once the storm hits Haiti it may pull itself to the north and new paths will be generated.Watch Local 6 News for more on this story.
