Hour winds may actually go up some and its possible it could be a category four storm. Once it nears florida, the center could stay a little bit offshore right on the coastline or maybe even touch land. Any one of those three possibilities, a small shift, either way they get impacted significantly but it would be much better if the center stays offshore but it rides along the coastline possibly as a category four. Very dangerousrm the South Carolina coast but the big change in the last 24 hours, once it gets to this position, winds above it will force it to make a right turn so its not going to complete the trip up the coast above the carolinas.

As you sit here with hurricane images behind us. I think the best news we got today was, this has changed so thats really major. For local interests, that makes a huge difference. Columbus day weekend is a huge weekend for all of new england, and now weather is not a problem for us. So thats good. Bad news for florida. The east coast of florida could bear the brunt of this but its a very narrow shift where they could still luck out a little bit and not be that bad but it could touch them or drop inland and that would be the worst case scenario. Thats still in play for them for sure. We want well show you the different computer models, about 24 hours ago. Beyond the carolinas, pretty good uniform general idea of near or cles to the southeast coast all the way up to North Carolina. But then there was still a fair number of models taking it close to southern new england. Then everything started shifting east. Changing the colors as we change the run. Toward morning, a little bit more to the east. Today, a sharp right turn from going on in the atmosphere above us, the jet stream, really supports that scenario. So let me explain how this came about. Heres the story the storm down in here starts to move up, okay . How far north is it going to get. The whole idea is this northern jet stream. If it really sharpened, really dipped down it would take this and curl it up. But if it doesnt dip down it forces this out or bypasses it. So it will dip a little bit bu bring it straight up. Its actually going to make it go straight east or eastnortheast but way south of us, thats why the confidence now is very high. We cant bring that storm up here for us. Fortunately. For the areas affected, bahamas, florida coast and southeast coast, 120 mile per hour winds but its going to be moving over very warm water so its certainly room for it, category an approach to the florida coast but never touches it, they will still be affected significantly but it wouldnt be quite the worst case scenario. They will still have to deal with the storage summer but not as much wind and rain. It may just touch or hug the coastline, but notice it can be as far west as her or as far east as here, if its the eastern track, then they will escape without it being as terrible as it potentially could be. But you still georgia coast and South Carolina coast and to an extent North Carolina but after that notice the shortstop right turn so that spares the mid atlantic and northeast. Heres a look at this. One of the computer models looping it up like that with some potential rainfall. Thats a lot of rain. Four to eight inches. A lot of flooding. Take the storm further east. Heavy amounts wind up offshore but right now they certainly have to prepare for that. 57 degrees here right now. Of days. Were in the 50s and 60s. Taunton and norwood down to the 40s or upper 30s. A little patchy cloud overnight. Otherwise, sunshine galore for the next couple of days. Sevenday forecast, i want to quickly show you, the storm again as it loops up. You can see it here, notice the real intense part, in this case, might just border the florida georgia coastline would have to bear, heavy rains could get as far north as North Carolina but we have to worry about that cold front approach and that would be around saturday night. Our one chance of getting a period of showers. A chance of showers saturday night and clear up on sunday, and a beautiful columbus day for all of new england. Thats how its looking. Back to you.

At least half a Million People are being told to evacuate their homes in florida. Evacuations are also starting this afternoon in South Carolina. Right now that storm is a category three and harvey is here with when it will hit and where it goes after. Youre right about it being a category three storm r n there is room for it to get somewhat stronger. It could get back to category four status because it now moves over extremely warm ocean waters and away from the land mass of eastern cuba. Thats the thinking from the National Hurricane center. So to give you an idea of what were talking about, heres a category three. As it moves to the northwest, its either going to make a very close approach, certainly an approach to south florida, if it does touch down in florida, the coast. It may ride close to it or right along it but either way that supports the hurricane warning. They are concerned about heavy rain, storm surge and damaging winds. Then you you still have to be concern up to the South Carolina coast before it starts to make a right turn. As strong level, highlevel winds above it will force it to move east and not complete the trip up to us but well have much more about this in our local weather coming up in a few minutes.
