Jack of all trades. Thank you. Katie, how is the weather . The weather definitely quiet here. But of course, we continue to talk so much about matthew. As you had mentioned it, has now been downgraded to category three storm system, still churning away, very impressive storm right now. So it is still very dangerous down across the southeastern shore line, specially for florida at the moment. With heavy rain bands, very strong wind, rolling into this region. As we look at the hurricane warnings, posted right now, they extends anywhere from most of the bahamas, Northern Branch of the bahamas, right up the eastern seaboard through florida, the state of florida, still again basically getting into the thick of things right now, still going to be another day and a half or so, before the storm gets, a, starts to weaken more, also starts to actually pull away from the region. They are expect to go see some very, very significant devestation down that way. Specially at the area beaches. Storm scan locally though, you can see some of the tropical moisture brought into virginia. We will eventually see cold front passage come tomorrow. Meantime, today, looks beautiful. Probably at the moment off to cool start, you will want to have the extra layer walking out the door, at 66 degrees at the airport, 49 allentown, outlying suburbs outside of philadelphia also into the 40s like mt. Holly for example, quakertown checking in at 45 degrees, as the day progresses much like what you saw yesterday, you are going to see the temperature rebounds very readily, back into the mid 70s, here today, in philadelphia. Around the resort towns, though, sunshine there, as well, and very nice comfortable warmth, into the low 70s, there. So, as we look forward into the rest of the forecast, coming up, we will be talking about some rain, potential for heavy rain that affect us this weekend, have the tracking for that coming up later in the show. Pat . Every time i see a sunny friday i want to bring out my uber meisha, it is friday. It looks good this morning,. It does. Ill try to uphold the standards meisha sets for everyone. Morning.

Governor rick scott urged people to seek shelter before it is too late but some intends to ride out the storm at home. Had so many of these and not had any serious altercations. Hopefully it will be the same thing. Officials condemned that kind of over confidence. Theyre fool. Because this hurricane is unlike any other hurricane weve seen. Matthew packing sustained winds more than 100 Miles Per Hour, a storm surge of more than 11 feet could also flood part of the coastline. Nine out of ten people who have died have died as a result of water. The wind can be damaging and deadly, too, all hazards are in play and extremely dangerous situations.

Louis in a town hall style faceoff. Our coverage of Hurricane Matthew continues. Overnight the monster storm is already making impact in florida. Category four hurricane. Stay with us for continuing coverage. And up next, katie has our weekend forecast. This morning Hurricane Matthew continues to linger off the florida coast. This is a look at storm scan3 over the past couple of hours. The storm has gradually been making its way north, from the West Palm Beach area overnight. Florida, South Carolina and georgia are under state of emergency. So far at least 200,000 people are without power in florida. Well, the time now 4 40. Katie is here with another check on your forecast, katie, i know even here, youve been bus. I absolutely, yes. You have major storm system like this, i think everybody is just interested in whats actually going to happen, whether it has direct impact on us or not. We do actually end up with at least some indirect impact from this storm system. But take a look, it is a very well defined category three storm system, still, churning away right now, very close to the florida coastline, expected to make its landfall in Cape Canaveral here over the course every today. Here is the next frontal boundary, whats actually going to help steer the storm away from us, and that was what the lynch pin was through the course of the week. As it pertained to us, was this front either going to move in quickly, or move in little bit later in that would help here Hurricane Matthew essentially, and thankfully it is coming in soon enough it, will help keep the storm suppressed to the south. Good for us. Definitely not good, though, for the southeast, because it just means the storm will be lingering. Now the storm itself actually gathered some forward momentum, moving northwest, 14 Miles Per Hour, but again, very potent category three storm system. That as a result could lead to some very substantial storm surge. Now, storm surge is simply a wall of water. It is a rise in abnormal rise in the water levels that you see from the coastline, and it is basically just shoved on shore. So think about that. If you are talking about anywhere from six to maybe even 11 feet potentially, 11 feet high, a wall of water coming at you, thats deadly potentially. Thats why theyre evacuating people. Understand bridge so. Look at this. That could extends all the way from, say, out toward east Central Florida coastline, up to jacksonville, past the entire georgia coastline, and good portion of South Carolina. Thats a huge expands of real estate, so thats going to be potentially some of the worse storm surge that weve seen in a really long time for this area. Now, obviously very widespread. On top of that you are adding inches and very likely some spots feet worth of rainout of the storm. Because it is such a slow moving system. We could end up with easily again up to foot or more worth of accumulating rainout of this. That goes for even portions of north carolina. So the vast majority of the southeastern coastline is impacted in a very big way from this. Now, we showed you that frontal boundary a moment ago. Dow want to walk you through future weather as it pertains to tomorrow. A lot more cloud cover overhead. Start it off milder tomorrow. Looks like the worse of any rain would at least hole off through the better part of the morning, even as early as late morning, youre far north and west suburbs could see rain moving in notice it could be heavy. It is a little heavier actually tapping into some tropical moisture associated with matthew. Again, storm says far to the south, regardless, midday, late afternoon, toward evening, could end up with heavier rain around, as this frontal boundery moves through. But then left with just lingering showers through the overnight. We should actually see any clouds begin to break for some sunshine on sunday. In the meantime, back here for today, the sun is shining anyway. Looks like another basically carbon copy of yesterday. Beautiful weather, high of 76 degrees, off to cool start, like it was yesterday. Today, dressing in layers, good idea. Then as those clouds start to build tonight at worse talking 59 for low. Really not all that bad. Pretty comfortable actually if you want to leave the windows open. Tomorrow the rain comes. We clear it out for sunday and crumb dust day, actually tuesday, wednesday, and thursday, are all looking pretty good right now. So saturday sort of a mar on the forecast if you are looking forward to the bright sky. Pat . I absolutely a. M. Looking formed to that. Thank you, appreciate t lets look at some of the delays, concellations, the mess that Hurricane Matthew is causing up and down the coast, and of course down in florida. This is a look at the mass transit checklist it, includes amtrak and the Southeast Region which has been suspended. The silver star between new york city and miami, thats canceled through saturday. Same holds true for the silver meteor which goes to miami. The awe owe train, taking your car virginia down to florida has also been suspended, and palmetto, normally between new york city and savannah, georgia, only going to washington dc now. So, a lot of suspensions, go to the amtrak website, make sure you check before you do any of that. Also, the airports a mess as well down in florida. Orlando, resuming operations today as will Fort Lauderdale. Had been some closures, Fort Lauderdale closed, orlando saying they werent closed, sounded like they certainly were, but concellations up and down the board, check miami, check orlando, Fort Lauderdale. Complete mess because of Hurricane Matthew. Looking at the betsy ross bridge here, our town one lane open in each direction. There is 25mile per hour restriction, because of construction back and forth as youre going on the betsy ross bridge this friday morning. So far no delays in this area right now. But as the morning rush hour picks up, you can expect a little bit after back up. Also, the vine street expressway is closed between broad street and 76. Although it does lock like one side is moving at this point. Thats going to open up completely around 5 00 a. M. Also, 76, the westbound ramp, there is construction, if you are headed toward the boulevard. It is block blocking the left lane, one line getting by, the right lane will open up before the morning rush hour. Guys, just busy busy morning whether it comes to the flight delays.

Good morning, hammy friday, pretty quiet overall, and at least for half of the upcoming weekends, however, Hurricane Matthew still churning away off to the south. It is a potent category three, making its close approach to Cape Canaveral, maximum winds speeds, 120 Miles Per Hour, downgraded from yesterday, now, moving to the northnorthwest at about 13 Miles Per Hour. And it will continue to churn if not right on to the shore line, very close to it. So, some very substantial storm surge expected anywhere real fry jacksonville up to the charleston area. Thats a vast expands of real estate where we will see at least the worse of the storm surge. But that storm surge will happen from this storm, anywhere from south florida, all the way up to possibly even north carolina, as that storm makes its closest path sunday very likely category one storm, then this very odd path it is taking in a circular fashion, thats going to basically because it is being shouldnt dollars off to the south, storm thats going to take that path once more. Back down to the south, then recur of again, although it will be losing its strength at that point. But it is a multi day event. Keeping the seas very strong and rough down across the southeast in the days ahead. What you notice this zoom of storm scan is that weve got some moisture being sent north, even already into virginia. This is tropical moisture. We are not going to bear any direct impact from matthew, but some of this moisture getting tapped into, as the front that you see now moving into the midwest, starts to make its approach. So sort of like that tunnel effect, that it is with the moisture being drawn in, we eventually end up with some steadier rain because of that as the front itself makes its passage. Now, tomorrow, rather temperatures, right now, currently into the fours, at 47 in allentown, 48 trenton, and youre right around 60 in wildwood. Quite the variety pack here. But the general story is mid or up ears across most of the board, under clear sky, likely see the temperatures drop off little more readily as the morning progresses, but the sun will come up. It will do it part to keep things up, above average day 76, in the sunshine, tomorrow with rain primarily in the p. M. Hours, as the cold front crosses, then it does its job to cool things down. Were back in the sunshine although little cooler sunday. I almost called you meisha, pat, over to you. Dont do it, i dont look anything like her. Much prettier than meisha. Just kidding, giles. The storm dissipating somewhat. But still major problems, especially down in florida at the airport, here, some of the status cents to look at, Fort Lauderdale opening at 11 00 today. Orlando opening 6 00 a. M. Miami flights will gradually resume today as theyve been canceled over 600 every them canceled yesterday, tampa, that remains open, and un affected as of right now. Mass transit schedule also affected, you can take a look adam track, Southeast Region suspended canceled through saturday, silver star, silver meteor, the auto train, which is going from virginia to florida, all suspended as of right now. Palmetto normally goes to savage a a salve rana, georgia, from new york city to dc. It would normally go to georgia but problems with the mass transit and the airports. Make sure to check amtrak. Make sure to check the airport schedules as well. Here at home, betsy ross bridge, had been construction, thats since cleared. Also the turnpike has been cleared before downingtown, thats good news after that mess yesterday. Back over to you guys. Thanks so much, pat.

If you are trying to travel out of the region it seems is where the problem comes up. When the sun comes up, sun glare will be an issue, but so lets turn the focus right away whats going on in the tropics. Yes, you have not only got matthew, you have also got now hurricane nicole. Thankfully not expected to be any kind of direct threat to even bermuda although just off the south of that, however, this tells you that the atmosphere is ripe for tropical development. Two hurricanes out there right now, matthew obviously the one though that we turn our focus to when it comes to major impact, and storm surge out of this, not to mention heavy rainfall amounts, damaging winds speeds. This is a very big deal, the storm system, and a lot of times because weve gone about a decade without any kind of major hit like this in the southeast, specifically to
