Tropical wave shows potential for development near Florida by weekend
SUMMARY: Central Florida is being monitored for potential tropical weather development this weekend, with a 50% chance of a system forming from August 3rd to 5th. Currently, dust and wind shear are inhibiting development, but conditions may improve later. Models suggest that any tropical storm, possibly named Debbie, would likely remain offshore. While there’s uncertainty regarding the track and intensity, a significant hurricane impact is not anticipated. This system may signal an active period for tropical weather in the coming weeks. Residents are advised to stay updated as conditions evolve.
We are monitoring a tropical wave that has the potential for development as early as this weekend.

Lakeland Police released body cam video showing altercation between teen and two officers
SUMMARY: Lakeland’s police chief stated that officers‘ use of force, including a taser, was justified during a May incident involving a 16-year-old trespassing at a pool. A resident had called 911, requesting the teens stop cursing in front of children. Upon arrival, officers found no one was a resident or valid guest. After asking the group to leave, the situation escalated when the teen refused and resisted, prompting officers to use physical force. Bodycam footage showed the teen flailing and resisting. Although charges against him were later dropped, Chief Taylor defended the officers’ actions as appropriate and within policy.
Chief Sam Taylor said the officers were justified when they tased a teen during an incident in May when Lakeland Police were called to an apartment complex on Griffin Road.
