Cbs North CarolinaSteve Sbraccia has nor on whats next for the more on whats next. Reporter this cathedral project was started by the bishop but completed in his absence with him gone the question remains, who is going to run the diocese in his absence . Well, turns out, its a question with several answers. Just think hes in the midst of budding the cathedral. Reporter for the diocese this may be example of the bishops responsibilities but he had a host of other administrative duties, too, hell continue them until hes officially made the new bishop other die says of arlington. Until hes installed on december 6, after that, another administrator will be elected to serve. Theyll oversee the daytoday affairs of the diocese. Reporter but what about a successor to the bishop . Well, that is up to the pope. For some it happens very so we trust in the wisdom the church. We trust that well have a good passionate joyful bishop as with bishop burbidge. When that comes, who knows. Reporter but there is one thing that bishops flock does know. We were just so grateful to have him here. Hes here too shortive a tomb. Hes been a wonderful bishop. Reporter for his part the bishop told the ensconce freeness this morning that the 10 years he spent in this are area will buy treasure h of his life. Im Steve Sbraccia. Wes, a busy couple u days and its only to get busier here. Its unfor for many reasons. But partially because its so nice out now. Were finally getting some fall like weather. Actually going to get cooler over the next few days. I think its hard for all of us to enjoy it. Yes, Hurricane Matthew remains of impacting us in just a couple of days. So nothing much has changed in our message tonight in that we all need to prepare for a category two hurricane later this week. So heres just kind of a rundown of what im thinkings going to happen over the next few days. First of all, continue to enjoy the fall weather wednesday and thursday. The west of the weather which will be clouds. Rain and wind, moves in friday. Especially friday nig saturday. Tonight the trek had a small shift to the east but that comes after several shifts to the west. So to balance it out, the west track shift is still winning. We cant be lulled into a false sense of relief because of one small shift to the east. There are more shift coming as you know. We get updates every six hours. We got to keep checking in on the storm. What i expect to happen, on average, 36 inches of rain. The more rain the farther east go. Wind gusts as high as 50 Miles Per Hour. With the rain weve already had in the ground over the past couple of weeks and with our trees around here you know that could lead to trees down on cars, houses, power lines and that creates a whole set of other problems. Thats a quick look of what to expect. As i said a Beautiful Day today with temperatures in the 70s. Someus in the upper 60s. So were going to keep it dry, again. Just a few fair weather clouds falling to the low 70s to upper 60s overnight. Out the door wednesday morning 60 degrees. As we turn our tension back to the tropics. The Hurricane Hunter aircraft continues to investigate the system, they found winds 140 Miles Per Hour. Thats 5 Miles Per Hour less than where it was earlier today. So not a big change. Still moving to the knot, now at 9 Miles Per Hour and the pressure has come up a little bit and we look at that number because the pressure goes up lets start worth the computer models. Im going to leave that into the changes with the official National Hurricane center trek. Just about ready to make landfall on the eastern tip of cuba. The computer models were going to ignore these three over here. We watch the cluster and look for the trend. The cluster keeps it very consistently through the bahamas and possibly through the coast u florida through thursday and friday. Then the trend has been for the cluster once it gets up here this weekend, our coastline or just off shore. So there have been changes in the National Hurricane center track to match that. First all put up the center line from 5 00. Then the 11 00 a. M. Forecast track and thats the yellow line. You can see a shift to the west happen closer to florida but theres been a little shift tour the east up here in our neck of the woods also slowed down s we could still have a category two hurricane after afternoon with anywhere from charlotte to about 200 miles off shore. But we remain in the cone of uncertainty so we have to assume and we have to live our life like it will be here this weekend. So thats a giant storm down there. 600miles across. So whats that going to look like when it gets of here. So lets show you. Lets bring it all wait up here to saturday afternoon. You can see the cloud encompassing most other carolinas. This blue line could encompass the damaging wind and the harry rain. And its on top of that is saturday afternoon. But, again, weve still got a few days of decent weather. Wednesday and thursday. Dry weather, generally temperatures in the low 70s rain arrives friday night. It bide a soggy and wind saturday. And then we dry out quickly on sunday with another set of nice days ahead. Next week. But, again, Little Things have changed but the big picture that we could have a category two hurricane here changed definitely prepare the that. Heres jeff jones in sports. High there, guys. The dubbing blue devils Football Team is following a loss to virginia on homecoming. Plus the hits just keep on coming for cam newton but this time that hit is in the form of a legal batt im Hillary Clinton and i approve this message. Id look her right in that fat ugly face of hers.

Followed by a an equally shocking loss at home. Duke gained National Relevance by beating notre dame just to come crashing back down to earth when they lost to virginia. Ultimately it was turnovers that doomed them on saturday. They gave the ball away on six different occasions. In other words, times were tough but their head coach says the touch times teach. Best lessons. I think our team have a far greater opportunity to learn and grow. And if we continue coming in the building with that spirit and that attitude, good things ultimately happen to you.
