Information. Yeah i was being a littlee bit hyperbolic off camera. Cer things have changed. C i want to say yesterday alarm bells went off all up and down the eastan coast. Oast. Modeling started suggestinguggen that hermine was going to comeom right up the east coastoast basically right up i95 withit flooding rain and high winds his so the track from them Hurricane Center changed and and it brought basically hermineer up i95 is what it did. Did but what happened was it early this morning it started ia shifting more to the east eas again simply because these models were able to figure out exactly where the center ofter hermine was and newnd information went into theinto modeling so i think theng so te forecast now is getting better. And whats happening is the shift of the track is moving ism to the east and it continuesti to move to the east taking itini more off to sea. More ill show that you in just a jus second. Right now all the heavy rain rai coming into florida, tampa sarasota up towards the bend thb and around to the panhandle. Paa new information is that the itht winds have not changed so itst still Tropical Storm hermine, hi 60 Miles Per Hour here. Miles p movement is more now to the to t north and to the northeast nthea 12 Miles Per Hour so pickingng up forward speed just a little bit and starting to move more towards the northeast, all right. Sta obviously isusly i important, the intensity is obviously important. Ynt forecast right now to be afost t hurricane as she makes now tohek landfall. Land right now up just right at thet panhandle between the bend andd the panhandle. Definitely will affectfi gainsville tallahassee placesssp like that, panama city as its comes on up. S onp. Now, look heres the deal. The da look at the change. Cng the change has been shiftedn she dramatically now on off to the e east. Let me just say the track hererr is not all that important withnt this storm. We want to see how big the foot printer of the rain iser going to be, we want to see s the intensity of it as itt a continues to work on up into u i land for several hours onceou she makes landfall probablyba tomorrow, early, early in the it morning and as she comes uphe cs the east coast. The ea coa so, how much of this willhis w affect us weekend . No doubt that the track of this storm isend . Going to affect the beaches of the oft southeast. So South Carolina, North Carolina, the outer banks, ifr f you have plans to be downo dow there its going to be rainy,toi its going to be windy, windy theres going to be a high to bg surf out there, theres goingheg to be rip currents going on, but with the track mov binge riv farther to the east, that t helps the forecast right alongho i95 and back out to the west. Es but even with this track, if tr this were the exact track theere beaches of the delmarva,rva, virginia, back up to maryland mn and delaware, and even southvent jersey will be impacted here. H theres going to be some s clouds, theres going to be some rain, theres going to beno a lot of high surf as this a storm comes up as well. S wel so, right now the trend iss good. Go taking it on off to the east. Es now we just have to wait and see if this trend is going to continue. Coinue so, everything this storm doestm obviously, guys, will impactact our Holiday Weekend forecast. Fc tomorrow looks beautiful,utul though. Yes, i mean, could just mean some cloudse clo for us. Okay. If it continues to shrift to the east just some clouds to fin, a little bit of wind not a big deal but we keep theep heaviest of the rain off to rai the east. E beach trips though thiss ough weekend, no doubt will be affected, no doubt. Dbt. Okay. Thanks gary. Yeah. It is 5 04 right now. 4 r n and this morning heres aes question that some metroro riders are asking. Will the rhode island avenuede e station open on time. Metro maintenance crews were out overnight checkinguthe things out overnight after a afa piece of metal and concrete ccr telling from the stationsta ceiling last night. Fox5s Melanie Alnwick i s live at the road i would of a wu station and mel the system is open so what is the word thereor now. Reporter well, so, metroter, has tweeted out that the thath system is opened but its here s four minutes after 5 00 and you can see people are stillur i waiting around waiting for theai station manager to unlock theo c gates here. Gat so, maybe theres a little bite of a delay in just gettinget some of the fare machines up and running, not sure, but folks definitely anticipating ac that they can get on the metro here from rhode island avenue. Want to take you to some ofouo o or to video that we shot early e this morning where we couldre c see engineers up theree enchecking the ceiling area on the upper platform just makingg sure that it is safe for for folks to get on those o tho trains this morning and get on the platforhim. S laor the problem was metal debrisebri and concrete. Et now, lets come back out live. V want to show you the station manager opening up the road i would avenue brentwood station for Revenue Service thisevenue e morning so that is good thisinga becat use when we have the system the station shut s down last night, folks had to hd take shuttle buses from thisrom area and that began rightan about 8 30 last night and continued all the way until u the stations closed. Clo so, good news here for these riders that they are actually al able to get on their trains here on the red line thisn the e morning. But again, the concrete andnd metal debris falling from theom ceiling, that is somethingt is g certainly that could be aould b safety situation for ridersider and that is why they had to t shut the station, had metro m Transit Police lettingceti everyone kno having a situation there but again, looks like things goodhis this morning. Mni and for now, they can get on the red line here but prettyre soon this station is alsoon going to be shut down for dn f surge 10 while they he do moreom work on the red line.

Parts of florida getting battered. Heres a look at largo last night where res ents ents are being forced out of their homes due to flooding from theoe storms. Storms word of extensive damage by the flood waters which took its toll on numerous home inooon the area. Re 5 15 is our time right now. Ow lets get to gary mcgradycgrady with a check of our weather. Eatr some rain in our future. Yeah, obviously. Probably from Tropical Stormrm hermine. Thats going to be a great impact especially down inats i florida all up and down then the path here a lot of flooding,od anywhere between six, eight,ht maybe 10inches of localized rain down through parts of florida, georgia, southuth carolina as Tropical Storm sto hermine continues to come up to to the north and to the tohe northeast. Listen, what about localwhat a c effects . Well, really whatlly w this is all about, what it allll m and our forecast is definitelyil in doubt as we get up into int this holiday week, theres tost doubt about that, its all is about the track of the storm. Sm where is she going to go afterer making landfall in florida flori late tonight early, early,ar tomorrow morning . Now, the t rain core, the wind core isre i heaviest south and east of the t center of that track. At track. So, obviously we have to watchhw it real, real close. Clo i think theres no doubt thatout the beaches of the delmarvas ofl down through the Carolinas Caron will definitely be impactedacte and again, the amount of impact for the beaches againchea all depends on the track of the storm. Aldepends so, most of what happens overape the next 72 hours really comes s down to exactly whichhi direction that this Tropical Storm is going to go, whether wh it shifts a little bit mort to the west and comes up i95 or5 o off to the east and basically bl takes most of the impact offacto along the shore and out into i the ocean. Will hermine linger off the coast . Thats anotherno question that we have but right now at least for our for Holiday Weekend, i think thehi t track is whats going to be be the most important.
