Andrea will create problems
The WOKV Storm Center is fully activated as Tropical Storm Andrea brings flooding rain, strong winds, and possibly an isolated tornado. This is the first Tropical Storm of the Atlantic hurricane season and it got a little stronger overnight.
Thursday rain maker
We're tracking a tropical disturbance that will move out of the Gulf to the northeast. It will bring heavy rain Thursday into Friday, perhaps between 2 and 4 inches based on the latest estimate.
More stories of being put through the ringer
We're going to hear today from the leaders of six conservative groups who were mistreated by the tax agency. Several of the groups say their applications for tax-exempt status were delayed while agents asked intrusive questions that the IRS has since acknowledged were inappropriate. The groups testify today before the House Ways and Means Committee.
Wet and stormy
We are tracking storm development from the west. It's the same system that raked across the Plains this weekend. For the most part it's going to feel like a typical summer stretch with heat and steam, then storms in the afternoon. Heavy rain and gusty winds are most likely, but we can't rule out an isolated severe thunderstorm.
Child Stars Who Sought Emancipation
Turns out Jaden Smith doesn't really want to be emancipated from his parents—but these 10 child stars did at one point in their young lives!
A threat to hurricane readiness
Governor Scott says the sequester budget cuts are his biggest concerns for the hurricane season. Scott says the cuts threaten to strain Florida's readiness capability. According to the governor, the cuts mean nearly 1,000 Florida National Guardsmen and technicians will have to take furloughs during the summer.
Feeling more tropical this weekend
It's going to feel more tropical as we move into the weekend. Warm temps and high humidity will stick around through the weekend with some rain at times. It's looking like heavier rain arrives next week.
