Related untiln then but what a storm it is. Four, top wind at 130 Miles Per Hour. It is pummeling the central and southeastern bahamas with torrential rains, flooding wind, and look at the eye. You would expect a category four storm to have a welldefined eye. The big challenge is to figure out where it is going to go and how strong it will be when he gets there. Remember yesterday . We were showing the preponderance of computer models would take it into the shore somewhere in southeastern carolina. There is one outlier. The european model which had it never even getting close to shore and heading out towards bermuda. What happened last night after the Hurricane Center said a gulfstream aircraft into the storm to set up some extra balloons and drop capsules to sample the air, they got some solid data. Changed itsmodels mind and a broader back to the west. What we are thinking is it will gradually weaken as it starts to head north over the next couple of days and will be offshore by Tuesday Morning to the jersey coast. 5 00, we will see what the next model says. Maybe it will bring some of these other models to the right. There is a tendency a better chance it will stay offshore. That is good news for the coast but there is no way to guarantee.

This time agents were hoping to embarrass chaffetz for his Harsh Criticism of the agencys recent blunders. They have to get rid of these bad apples.

They deserve a huge amount of applause. Reporter the breach of private information could be criminal, with dozens of agents facing penalties. Again, the white house questions about lack of confidence in the organization. Not at all. I think your initial response to this report is a strong indication that there is effective leadership in place of the secret service. Reporter no word on if any agents have been disciplined.

Lets get back to the weather. We got this new information. It sounds like some good news. Are moving inds the right direction but hurricanes are very unpredictable by nature. This one is moving not towards the u. S. , but to the southwest towards the bahamas. Once it makes the term, it will make forecasting a little bit easier but it is good to see that more and more computer models are coalescing on the idea this will stay a little bit more to the ease, a little bit more offshore. Alison but it is big . Doug huge and dangerous. Lets scamper over and give you the details. 130 mile per hour sustained winds. That is a lowend category four. Though storms are referred to as dangerous hurricanes. Per now associated with it. We have a location right over the central and southeast bahamas. Tomorrow toted start to make the turn and then follow upperlevel winds and stay offshore. It will be interesting to watch as this big trough of low pressure up and of these coast will bring us the heavy rains tomorrow on saturday and saturday.

The way these things work, i would not be a bit surprised at 11 00 tonight for the next update if it wiggles back one way or another. That is just the nature of storms. I think we can think pretty good news is the trend is to keep the center of the track well offshore. Here is the famous spaghetti plot. Still a mishmash.

Rain are intense bands of coming down tomorrow night and early saturday. The heavy stuff starts to pull away. There will still be pockets of rain and some of the damage will be done. Take a look at what is happening as far as the weekend is concerned. Wet and breezy both days. I think the biggest impact of this initial rent is tomorrow night and into early saturday. Has impact if any joaquin off the coast line . We all have flash flood is watches starting tomorrow and it is a hefty rain day. Make sure the storm drains are clear out. If you see flooded roadways, turn around. A few inches could dish larger vehicle into the downstream. We are gearing up for some hefty rain. Doug that is good news.
