New information for you shortly. Any potential impact from joaquin is still days away. Heres what were watching first. Another round of storms that could bring heavy rain, flooding, and strong winds. Weve already seen coastal flooding today as high winds hit the jersey and delaware coast. We have First Alert Weather Team coverage tonight, we begin with Sheena Parveen. Sheena, how soon do we need to worry about the next big ground of rain. It will mostly start overnight, into tomorrow, thats when the heaviest rain will be here tomorrow during the day and well see the winds increase, too. The winds will increase in intensity and be a persistent onshore wind coinciding with high tide tarm leading to coastal flooding. Right now we have rain to worry about. Its across all the major interstates in the philadelphia area, so not a great evening commute. Here the roadways very wet in many locations, but also on the slower side. Were seeing light to moderate rainfall. More rain to the south and offshore and this will be moving onshore into tomorrow. That rain moving onshore, along with higher winds tomorrow. Thats going to give us a first alert weather day, even as we go into part of your saturday. Heavy downpours moving in, strong winds increasing to 40 miles an hour along the shore. Areas of flooding will be expected with high tide like i mentioned, so we could see beach erosion and threefoot storm surge with high tide. Along the shore we have a coastal Flood Warning out. This will go through the weekend, so with this onshore winds could be gusting near 40 miles an hour or greater. I wouldnt be surprised if they started gusting near 50 in some locations, wave heights eight to 12 feet offshore and also beach erosion. We will see the persistent onshore wind flow. With the onshore wind flow, three foot storm surge coinciding with high tide. High tide will be between about 10 00 a. M. And noon tomorrow. Thats going to also be coming along with heavy rain. We are looking at a pretty messy next 24 to 48 hours and then well be tracking Hurricane Joaquin. This is not related to Hurricane Joaquin over the next couple of days, but we will be watching closer to the end of the weekend. Coming up, i have the updated track on joaquin. Changes in it. Our Team Coverage continues with nbc 10s drew smith. Drew, coastal flooding throughout the day. As i can see, its windy out there. Reporter yeah, sheena was right, the wind is intense out here. Take a look at the ocean. Wind is wiping up waves and were not out on the ocean and the bulk head walls, thats been hit hard all day. Good news is, low tide over here and because of that the water is lower and the streets are no longer flooded, but it was a problem today. The drainage couldnt keep up and crews here are worried tomorrow will be even worse. It was a scramble on the docks and the streets today. When the sirens blowed, you should get your cars off, because they go under water fast here. On side streets and the main roads, the water piled up and a constant rain meant boarding up windows. A wet chore. Looks like the wind and the tides really picking up, its crazy. Reporter it was a bad day for engine trouble on this boat. Marina workers were trying to get this out of the water quickly. These winds come up, loose boats all over the place. Reporter a meeting this morning, hes got a game plan to get through a rough few days ahead. Were on the same page, all the mayors speak and all have the same direction. Reporter Utility Companies already out at work. The winds knocked out power here. Jim hickey watched water flowing through the bulk heads and on to his backyard. His plan of staying down the shore for a few more weeks is now scrapped. Looks like well be leaving town rather than sit in the dark and watch my car float by. Reporter the good news is, there havent been many people here on the island since weve been here. Using two ways to alert people about the problems with the coastal problems, that is a siren theyve been using to tell people to get their cars off the road, as well as reverse 911, message has been going out to people saying make sure youre ready, especially tomorrow as the floods are expected to be worse.

Up and down delaware, everyone is looking at the weather and they know its only the beginning. Tim furlong, nbc 10 news. More storms head our way for tonight and tomorrow, many people are also keeping an eye on this. Hurricane joaquin gaining strength. Everybody along the east coast wants to know exactly where its headed. Meteorologist Sheena Parveen joins us again. Youve been watching the late etc. Models, but still a lot of uncertainty. Of course, with any hurricane youre going to have a level of uncertainty, especially when its not moving in the direction that we expect it to move as far out in time as we expect it to go, but right now its still around the bahamas, that would eventually send it up towards our area, at least offshore or potentially onshore, but at this point things do look to be getting a little bit more nailed down as much as we can with these updates coming in. Winds 130 miles an hour, so it is a major storm and take a look at this amazing image of the storm now. Now were looking at the cloud cover within the storm. This is a very strong hurricane. You can see very well defined eye and once it makes that northern movement, i think were going to have better model agreement. This is the updated track. As we go into sunday, 2 00 p. M. Off the North Carolina coast, possibly a category 2 hurricane. The most recent updates have shifted a little bit farther out in the atlantic, which would be good news for us because we wouldnt have as much rain and wind by the end of the weekend, so that would be monday into tuesday. Again, this is the newest track, it just came in. This is really what some of the models have been hinting towards today. So today we have a bigger model disagreement, all these different lines, these are different computer models. Today were seeing a large disagreement in the models, which again some of them are suggesting now farther out to sea. So this is something we are definitely watching very closely. Since the models are not agreeing, we have to take into account both scenarios. If it would stay offshore, still some wind but less rain. As of now, the track has shifted farther out to sea. Again, were still several days out from this impacting the area potentially, so as we get closer to the weekend, we will have a better idea over the next 24 hours, even more updates through tonight, as well. Coming up, more about that heavy rain coming in tomorrow. Not related to joaquin and what it means for potential flooding. Thats straight ahead. Nbc 10 is tracking all of these storms.

Chip didnt seem to be taking it too seriously, but coming up at 6 00, more on the weather affecting sundays contest, until then, im Danny Pommells for comcast sportsnet. Back to you. Were keeping an eye on joaquin. Also a storm that could hit us tonight. Lets go to nbc 10 first alert meteorologist Sheena Parveen. Yeah, we are looking at an increase in winds and rain as we go through tonight and especially tomorrow and saturday. So first alert weather out for friday and saturday, i think a majority of the rain both of these days will be here friday but the wind is going to be up both days. Heavy downpours and strong winds. I think the main concern here will be at the shore because that wind direction is an onshore wind, a persistent onshore wind. Coastal Flood Warning in effect, so we could also be talking about beach erosion and a threefoot storm surge coinciding with high tide tomorrow morning between about 10 00 a. M. And noon along the shore. Right now we have rain to deal with, not great timing for the evening commute around the philadelphia area, 95 up to trenton, also 476 and 76 up through parts of montgomery and bucks county, moderate to heavy rain and also through the poconos we have some moderate to heavy rain there, too. More rain is offshore, even to our south so were going to be stuck in this weather pattern with rain and wind and the wind that we had around today, thats going to get stronger starting tonight and tomorrow. Heres a live look at cape may, one of the areas were watching very closely. Coastal Flood Warning out for cape may. You see the surf here really increasing, really strong rip currents and the water coming onshore with the persistent onshore wind. We have a north wind 14 miles an hour. Just a few minutes ago the gusts were reported around 21 miles an hour, but we expect the wind gusts increasing tonight. Temperatures in cape may a chilly 59 degrees. Heres a look at the wind speed through the rest of the area, sustained around 15 Miles Per Hour. You can expect it to get gustier to tonight. By 10 00 tonight we could already see winds gusting near 40 miles an hour closer to shore, around 30 inland and tomorrow morning we start to see more rain moving in. So this will be a concern along with that onshore wind that we expect to develop a little more of a northeast wind and possibly at about an east northeast wind in some spots, so that would be pushing water onshore, temperatures will be chilly, but the wind gusts will be around 45 miles an hour still. Inland areas still gusting near 35. Then we go into saturday, winds will still be gusting near 35 to 40 Miles Per Hour, even through the day saturday. Its going to be a very windy, cold, wet start to your weekend. Sunday morning were still talking about the wind gusting near 30 to 40 miles an hour, so the whole weekend looks windy with areas of rain. By saturday morning and saturday evening were looking at possible rainfall totals around two to three inches in some spots, too. Now were talking about the hurricane. What i showed you is not related to Hurricane Joaquin. Hurricane joaquin is still over the bahamas and is a category 4 today, so its strengthened quickly, winds around 130 miles an hour. It is moving to the southwest, technically away from us, but eventually it will start to take the northerly turn and once it does so, a lot of the computer models struggling with it today will get a better handle on it come tomorrow. There you see it sliding up to the north, this is the most updated track from the National Hurricane center. Kaub a category 2 hurricane by sunday afternoon, but watch what happens into monday and tuesday, it actually does take a bit more of a shift off to the atlantic, so were talking about a higher chance of what we would call scenario two, having it go out to sea. That would give us less rain and wind. The first scenario would be landfall farther to our south, that looks a little lower at this point. You never want to look at the center of the cone, anywhere inside the cone is fair game since we are looking so far out in time, but as of now, a better chance for the storm to be moving offshore. More updates tonight at 11 00 p. M. And early tomorrow morning and an even better idea by then. For tonight, rain and wind increase. This is all before were even going to be looking at joaquin getting closer to us. 53 for the low in philadelphia tonight, 51 areas north and west. Tomorrow, first alert weather day out, rain heavy at times, gusty winds, especially along the shore, onshore wind, temperatures in the mid to upper 50s, chilly with that, too, going into saturday we stay windy sunday, as well, and well be watching conditions finally clear up as we go into the middle of next week. More sunshine, but until then we will have our eye very closely on the weather we expect tonight and tomorrow. Of course, Hurricane Joaquin.

The heavy rain moving our way is just the beginning, folks. Right behind the storm comes Hurricane Joaquin. Right, sheena . Thats right, were tracking heavy rain and high wind into tomorrow, lot of rain to the south moving in, then were tracking Hurricane Joaquin and the updates on the track and what we may or may not be able to expect coming up.

Hes now dead, but police have not said if he was killed by police or whether he killed himself. We will continue to bring you any new updates as they come in. Meanwhile, our first alert weather coverage continues now. Hurricane joaquin is letting loose in the bahamas. People up and down the east coast, including the jersey shore, are preparing for a potential impact. We are watching this hurricane very closely, but right now the more immediate threat is from another round of storms moving into our area. Sheena parveen, the weather team issued a first alert. Thats right. The first alert for tomorrow and saturday. We already have rain moving in right now. Its mostly north and west of philadelphia, but we expect more to move in tonight, along with gusty winds, windier than its already been today. Parts of montgomery and bucks county, moderate to heavy rain, but in the states surrounding philadelphia, 476, 95, up towards trenton, it was a wet evening commute, even up in the poconos we have consistent rainfall, thats still continuing. Then you see all the weather down to our south. So we have more rain expected tomorrow and thats going to come along with high winds. First alert weather day issued tomorrow into saturday because of the combination of the wind and the rain. And that wind is also going to be persistent onshore flow, so areas along the coast you want to pay close attention to your high tide times tomorrow between 10 00 a. M. And noon. Heavy downpours expected, areas of flooding, too, especially along the coast, beach erosion and a threefoot storm surge also expected tomorrow. Take a look at the computer model. This is midnight tonight. We could see winds along the shore gusting near 40 miles an hour. These are the wind gusts im showing you combined with the rain moving in. Now we go into friday morning, friday afternoon, winds still gusting close to 45 Miles Per Hour, more of an onshore wind, thats friday afternoon, along with that rain continuing to move in. Then for saturday, winds still gusting near 30 to 40 miles an hour in some spots along the shore and that would be the case even saturday afternoon. Still gusting near 40 miles an hour. So for our shore points we could see rainfall totals close to about two to four inches locally, winds gusting closer to 40 miles an hour, sustained 20 to 30, more of an onshore wind. Thats why were calling for beach erosion with high tide and that would lead to some coastal flooding. Again, we will be watching the coast very closely. We already have a coastal Flood Warning out and for the rest of the area we are expecting rain and wind, as well. Then were tracking Hurricane Joaquin. The updated track just came out. Ill show you that coming up. Meanwhile, wind whipped water surged into streets in ventnor this afternoon.

Hurricane joaquin is sitting near the bahamas, but where it goes next is still a big question. Despite that uncertainty, local and state officials are telling people to get ready just in case. Nbc 10s cydney long joins us live. We heard from governor christie today, he isnt taking any chances. No, he is not. In fact, the governor cancelled several out of state campaign stops. He plans to stay close to home this weekend. Hes most concerned with south jersey and has two concerns specifically over the next four days. His overall message to New Jerseyans is to prepare and not panic. I need all of you to begin to prepare today. Reporter governor christie says he will consider evacuations if and when necessary with a onetwo punch of devastating weather about to hit. Christie says the concern is too bold. Severe flooding with the approaching storm and every agency is prepping now ahead of joaquins possible landfall, depending on the track of the storm. Im not standing up today saying joaquin is going to be sandy. We have absolutely no way of knowing that at this point. Category 3 out there now. Reporter christie says south jersey will be hit the hardest, atlantic, cape may, sunderland counties, especially along the delaware bay. He says Lessons Learned during Hurricane Sandy make us stronger, not just ahead of the storm, but for its aftermath. Right now new jersey power companies, d. O. T. , all Law Enforcement and hospitals, are organizing mutual aid and backup staff. We are not quite yet sure about whether this is going to be a single punch or a double punch. There is no question theres going to be a single punch thats going to start this evening and there are going to be winds up to 75 to 85 miles an hour in the southern part of the state, in addition to the rain. Reporter now on the major interstates, new Jersey Department of transportation is also removing any debris from storm drains and positioning debris removal equipment. Christie also says both Rutgers University and Rowan University could be shelter locations, but it is not certain if that will be necessary or not just yet. Live in Mercer County, cydney long, nbc 10 news. Thanks. Pennsylvania Governor Tom Wolf is prepared to declare a state of emergency if necessary. Wolf says the state is working with local and federal agencies to prepare and is encouraging residents to do the same. You ought to have any emergency, weather emergency or otherwise, have three days worth of food, if you need medications, make sure you have three days worth of medications so that you are set. Stay in your home with the inclement weather, you want to stay in the house. Right now its a lot of watching and waiting as Hurricane Joaquin churns in the atlantic. Its too early to know where the storm will go next. Yeah, the storm hasnt even taken the north turn yet like we expect it to, so once it does, the computer models weve been watching so closely will have a better idea and agreement where the storm will go. Right now what its been doing is basically just sitting over the bahamas, very warm water temperatures, warm water fuels hurricanes, so this storm has strengthened to a category 4. Winds 130 miles an hour, but its moving very slowly. Its moving to the southwest at 6 miles an hour, so we are waiting for the north turn and once it takes the north turn, again, well have a better idea of which direction its heading. Right now the track has updated, so what it has shown basically is by sunday 2 00 p. M. Its still possibly a category 2 hurricane off the North Carolina coast, but the updates have pushed it out to sea a little bit more than what we had earlier and, of course, yesterday. Were starting to get a better grasp on what may be happening with the storm. Closest to us wouldnt be until monday afternoon, tuesday afternoon. At that time, though, depending how close it is with us would determine our impact. Farther out to sea it stays, less of an impact. If it moves inland, more rain and more wind. Take a look at the computer models, these are all different forecast models. Some still moving around the carolinas, but many more today are moving out to sea, so there is bigger disagreement on the models today. Staying offshore, again, would mean wind but less rain, onshore would mean higher winds and rain. What weve already seen across the area is that major cool down. We have that stationary front offshore and were going to see this big area of moisture move in giving us rain and wind tomorrow and into the weekend, then well be watching Hurricane Joaquin. At this point that track is still uncertain, but more models are hinting it moving offshore. More updates locally coming up. Thanks, sheena. The eagles are also keeping a close eye on the weather. As are the fans. Well let you know how the traveling philadelphia faithful are preparing for the potentially messy game. And from how tall to how rich. The top online searches when it comes to the 2016 president ial candidates. Live picture from cape may, we are tracking a onetwo punch, first a round of severe storms nearly upon us, then Hurricane Joaquin, which has been upgraded to a category 4. Both systems will bring strong winds, heavy rain, possible flooding. Meteorologist Sheena Parveen is tracking both storms. Well check in with her shortly. In the meantime, youll be talking about this apparently what were most curious about, ill say it again in case you missed it, weight, height, and net worth when it comes to the president ial candidates.

Hillary clintons age, jeb bushs height, Chris Christies weight, and Donald Trumps net worth. This is the first time that googles releasing such data during a president ial campaign. Well, speaking of tracking, our first alert meteorologists are tracking Hurricane Joaquin right now. Whats the latest . Thats right, updates on joaquins track. Ill show you what the updates are, but before all that were talking about heavy rain and very high wind all starting overnight tonight. What you can expect coming up. Terminate the parental rights of a convicted rapist, it would eliminate the abusers access to full, partial, or supervised custody of a child conceived by rape. The bill maintains the offenders obligation to pay child support.

Some nonviolent drug offenders could be in line for reduced prison sentences. A Bipartisan Group of senators released a bill today where some current inmates could get their sentences reduced by as much as 25 by taking part in rehab programs. The deal would also eliminate mandatory life sentences for threetime nonviolent offenders. Violent offenders would be excluded here. Among the democrats backing the bill is new jersey senator cory booker. It truly does bring to our american legal system justice and to make it more like an american justice system. At a News Conference today the senators congratulated each other for reaching a bipartisan compromise at a time when such agreements are rare. The white house has yet to comment on the bill. All right, were going to look at the forecast, because we have Hurricane Joaquin and also whats ahead of it. Thats right, a onetwo punch as weve been calling it here on nbc 10. Bring us up to speed. First alert weather day tomorrow and saturday. We have heavy rain thats heading our way and also really high winds, especially if you live along the shore. We can expect some areas to see flooding, especially if youre along the coast. We have heavy downpours and strong winds in the forecast, areas of flooding, coastal Flood Warning out right now and beach erosion could be possible with a persistent onshore wind, as well as about a threefoot storm surge coinciding with high tide between 10 00 a. M. And noon tomorrow morning. Locally, though, we already have the rain around for the evening commute, a lot of the interstates are wet and probably pretty slow moving at this point, especially through Montgomery County on 476. Pretty heavy rainfall here, especially around the philadelphia area, i95 seeing that rain still and all the way up into the poconos. Now as we go into tomorrow, we have more rain that will be offshore, making its way onshore and along with this, were looking at some high winds. So we have quite a few days where were going to have windy, rainy, gloomy, kind of chilly conditions, too. Look at the wind speeds right now, sustained near 15 miles an hour, butzs7 gusting even high than that. This is actually a live picture of cape may and if you look closely around here, you can see quite a bit of surfers out in the ocean. We do not encourage this, of course. We look at strong rip currents but conditions will be deteriorating through the next 12 to 24 hours. In cape may, winds gusting close to 20 miles an hour and were seeing temperatures right around 59 degrees, so it is chilly and were starting to develop more of that onshore wind. Now as we go through that time, tomorrow morning winds could be gusting near 45 miles an hour close to the shore, around the philadelphia area closer to 25 and there you see the rain moving in. Some of the rain heavy at times and by the afternoon and evening winds gusting near 45 miles an hour along the shore, persistent onshore wind flow with winds gusting near 35 miles an hour inland. This will stay the case into saturday, maybe not as much heavy rain saturday, but were looking at spotty rain with still some very gusty winds. Even through saturday evening the winds dont look to be lightening up. Theyll still be gusting near 30, 35 miles an hour and even as we go into sunday. If you are along the shore, we have a coastal Flood Warning, so this is one of the areas were definitely going to be keeping a close eye on with the onshore wind gusting around 45 miles an hour, wave heights eight to 12 feet. About three feet here coinciding with the high tide time tomorrow morning, so all of this will be keeping a very close eye on and giving you any updates tonight and tomorrow morning. Into saturday we could see anywhere from one to two inches locally of rainfall, then at that time well be keeping a closer eye on Hurricane Joaquin. So everything i just showed you is not related to Hurricane Joaquin, so even when we do start to get the heavy rain tomorrow and saturday, the hurricane will still be very far away. Right now its around the bahamas, increased to a category 4, max winds 130 miles an hour. Its not made the north turn yet, but it will be making that north turn and once it does i think computer models will get a better handle on this. As of now this is the updated track from the National Hurricane center, right off the coast of the carolinas is the category 2, but the track does leave it offshore. Closer to us that track has shifted more offshore, which is good news for us. We would still see the wind, but not as much rain. So the cone of uncertainty gets wider because the uncertainty gets greater. You want to ignore the middle of the cone here really anywhere inside the cone is fair game for the storm to go as of now. The scenario, number one, making landfall thats going to be a lower chance right now. Now were looking at scenario number two moving farther out to sea. We do appear to have a higher chance of that, computer models are starting to kind of lean that way today. Not so much what they did yesterday. We are starting to see some changes in that hurricane forecast. For tonight, rain and wind increasing, temperatures about the mid to low 50s. Tomorrow we have rain, some locally heavy gusty winds. Temperatures in the mid to upper 50s, so its going to be a windy, rainy, chilly day, even as we go into saturday and, of course, by the end of the weekend still windy and breezy. Well be watching Hurricane Joaquin very closely. More updates tonight, and, of course, tomorrow morning. Thank you. Some of the bullet points here, Hurricane Joaquin now a category 4 storm. Its right over the bahamas, so lets check on conditions there now with nbcs dan krauss. Dont let the sunshine out here fool you. This storm is getting stronger. Now a category 4 hurricane in this direction. You can see behind me all the docks are empty tonight. Its a very rare sight because many of the cruise lines have diverted their ships to other ports for the next 24 hours as people here ride out this storm. High winds and powerful waves crashing against the shores tonight, and they are only expected to grow worse. Putting a damper on this couples honeymoon. He watched the news literally 24 hours straight yesterday to see what kind of course it was taking. Reporter instead of enjoying your honeymoon. Yes.
