It has fallen down a little bit in ranking because of the interaction with the land and the mountains that we had in cuba and also haiti. Now as it pushes to the north through the bahamas it does look like its going to be back up to category four strength. Bahamas still looking at a lot of problems. Through thursday morning it should be pushing through the northern bahamas. Its still a category three near the georgia coast. It now looks like the shift is back to the east a little bit so that we may not even see a total landfall from this storm. It may just skirt the coast as a category two. South carolina, North Carolina under the scenario get really battered straight through saturday evening but the change for us is that the latest indications are that the storm stays down to the south of us and scoots out to the sea far away from us. Now, the cone of uncertainty still includes app direct hit along the jersey and Delaware Coast lines but the trend just since last night and now into this morning is to bring this farther away from us. There would still be impacts at the shore with coastal flooding and heavy surf that sort of thing but we may not even get much rain. If we got rain on saturday it would probable be from a cold front coming from the west. Here again are the new spaghetti plot models. A lot of these have the storm getting hung up down to the south or the very least bounced out to sea away from us. This is much better news. Still three plus days away though. It could change again so we still have to keep our eyes on it. We also have im sorry about the hurricane paul heading. This is Tropical Storm nicole that formed yesterday. Its going have a problem pushing toward the east because of matthew but eventually it may push back up toward bermuda by monday of next week so we will keep our eyes on nicole for you as well. Your exclusive accuweather 7day forecast today we are looking at partly sunny skies and a high of 71. Then thursday mostly sunny and nice, 75. Friday partly sunny and pretty good 73. For the weekend mostly cloudy on saturday 70. There could eventually be some rain from a front coming through and then sunday breezy and cool, hoping that matthew stays south at this point and 67 degrees. In that scenario sunday would be not a bad day. Then columbus day 66 degrees and mostly sunny on tuesday, 67.
