There is no "best local weather". They are all just as wrong as the national forecasts.What is the best local weather to follow?

Do you think this will result in more rainstorms (more than the norm) next week?
Are there any predictions of when it would impact Orlando weather? I am trying to plan our waterpark day & wanted to have a general sense if it would affect the beginning or end of the week.
Having experienced Hurricane Irene then Hurricane Sandy here in NJ I am no expert but it was one of the more interesting/frightening events I have lived through. I have friends that lost all or close to everything...but if I had to choose wear to ride out a hurricane I would pick WDW.
I'm not sure. I'm just posting the weather updates I get at work. I would advice you to watch or check the national hurricane center's website.
The site I have been quoting is a service that my company pays for to monitor the potential for severe weather for our plant site.

Thank you, Seahunt. This was very helpful!Of course this could change, but right now not concerned at all here.
As a local, and even though I follow all the local stations, I also like to check out Levi at "Tropical Tidbits". I'm thinking this is probably a good site for the tourists coming in too, who are hearing rumblings about a hurricane, mainly because he takes the time to really explain in detail what is happening:

(Click on the red "play" symbol in the center and his info will show the storm being watched, where it is and where the models show it's going, what is expected to happen as far as strengthening, etc. It's updated frequently too.)
Also just as a FYI - Danny has a "sister" who is just coming off the African coast right now that you might be hearing about soon (depending on if it develops or not). So be prepared:
A tropical wave that has emerged off of the west coast of Africa
several hundred miles southeast of the Cape Verde Islands is
producing disorganized showers and thunderstorms. Environmental
conditions are expected to become marginally favorable for some
development of this system over the weekend and into early next week
while the wave moves westward at 15 to 20 mph over the eastern
tropical Atlantic.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...10 percent
* Formation chance through 5 days...low...30 percent
As of right this minute, most forecasters talking about that one are saying it will probably go "fish", or turn back out to sea, well from us - so if/when you do hear of it don't panic!
If it does turn into a hurricane and gets to Orlando, Disney is very prepared to deal with the situation. I wouldn't worry too much about it outside of that one of your days may get a bunch of rain. Normally though once a system passes the weather is gorgeous for several days afterwards.
Doggonit, it's been such a slow hurricane season I got lulled into a sense of security.
