Puerto rico was largely spared by irma but jose could be catastrophic. Its de ja vu for the people who live there.

Thats increased 5 Miles Per Hour since late this morning. Its rather large in size. Its starting to approach some of the wayward islands. Monday night into tuesday evening, it looks like it will start to increase to a category 4 hurricane and thats what it will maintain as it possibly makes landfall over puerto rico. This is Early Morning through thursday morning. Thats the time period for it to pass through puerto rico. It could waiver one way or the other but either way its going to be an impact and then its going to head to the north over parts of the bahamas this weekend. Those areas were also impacted by maria. In fact, take a look. Ive overlaid the line the path that irma made not too long ago and they intersect at one point. The difference is this doesnt appear to move towards florida.

To our first alert weather now and radar here tracking jose and the impact on our area, especially the jersey shore. The delaware beaches is why weve issued a first alert to get you prepared for the different threats. Heavy rain, coastal flooding, damaging winds, all a big concern and the question is how big of a concern and when and where exactly. Thats right. All eyes on that map and on glenn with a look at the weather and the storms out there. Glenn . It looks like the real significant weather will be confined to the coast. Were going to have a breezy day in philadelphia with a few showers around. Hardly going to notice that theres a hurricane out there. These are some of the clouds ahead of jose. You can see its a very, very large system. It is moving straight to the north. It will then make a bit of a right turn so its going to stay way offshore. Right now, the center of it is over 400 miles away from Atlantic City and its only going to get a little bit closer. So were not going to be expecting any kind of wind damage from this storm and the coastal flooding and even street flooding would be pretty much confined toward the beaches. Thats why those are the only places that we have a first alert out for. Thats through thursday morning. The oceans going to take a while to calm down after this. And jose is not going to move that far away. The rip current risk high, high winds at the coast, moderate coastal flooding. Tomorrow night, this is when the big problem would be occurring. Atlantic citys high tide, 7 45. Tomorrow, minor coastal flooding tomorrow morning. Minor again perhaps wednesday morning. Tomorrow night is the worst. Rehoboth beach, minor coastal flooding there, too. You can see the circulation and all of the heavy rain which is going to stay away from us. Here we are tonight, the first showers start to come in. Weve got a northeast wind. Tomorrow mornings rush could be nasty at the shore, as you can see, with the northeast wind and the rain showers so you can see some of the yellows and oranges. There could be some real downpours. But look back here towards the west. Much of our area gets little or nothing out of this. And the core of the hurricane, way, way off shore. Hundreds of miles away. Then you can see it getting closer to cape cod as our winds turn into the north. So from wednesday, that maybe a pretty decent day, too. Because its going to be spinning way, way out there. Then we look down to the south. This is going to be a big problem. The islands that were destroyed by irma are more up here. They are going to be more grazed by this than hit directly like they were before. The next target is puerto rico. Its moving right in that direction and, unfortunately, it looks like its going to slam right into that island of at least a category 4, possibly a category 5, which is really catastrophic. And then after that it may pass a little east of the bahamas and then theres a lot of questions as to what is going to happen because of a possible interaction with jose. This is the track of irma, by the way. So its not going to follow the irma track into florida. For tomorrow weve got clouds coming in and watch the showers in Atlantic City, even by morning while other parts of the area have some decent weather. Thats the wind symbol and the rain. Just a few showers across much of the rest of the area. Well tell you about the rest of the week coming up. All right. Sky force 10 is overhead in bucks county.

Parts of our area will feel the impacts for the next couple of days. Thats why were getting you prepared for what is to come. Lets go back to glenn hurricane schwartz with joses latest track. Glenn . Its going to stay offshore, which is really fortunate for us and the rest of the United States coast, too. But its going to have an impact at the shore because hurricanes are not a point and so even though the center of it tracks offshore, the circulation covers a large area, maybe even hundreds of miles. So its going to be tracking like this and the closest point should be about 200 miles off shore. And this is usually the weaker side of a hurricane. So we have a couple of benefits here and so were not expecting any kind of disaster and this is going to be kind of a mess with coastal flooding and beach erosion. Jersey shore and delaware beaches have the first alert through thursday morning. Its going to take a long time for the ocean to calm down. We have the moderate coastal flooding. That should be the biggest issue, and some beach erosion and gusty winds but i think with the storm that far off shore, were not going to be seeing a lot of winds Strong Enough to cause damage. Here we are in the computer models very much in agreement that its going to the north and not coming this way. Then it makes a bit of a right turn so it doesnt even make landfall in cape cod. It moves farther off shore but now once we get past thursday, it has a chance of starting to move back toward the United States. That is where the real complications come in the forecast. Down the road a bit. Tropical storm watch in effect for the jersey shore and the delaware beaches. The Tropical Storm warning up in cape cod, for example. Lets talk more about the direct impacts of jose and also, of course, maria, to see what will happen with that in a few minutes.

Reporter septa has said little other than that they are investigating the accidents. They have assured that the railway is safe but have been unable to elaborate. Septa is seriously concerned about safety. Reporter the investigators looked through federal Railroad Records and septa has paid out 57,000 in damages. I think some reassurance by septa that it has a very aggressive Safety Program in place and its continuing to do that would be appropriate. And that reassurance is coming here at 6 00 when for the First Time Since this accident took place this head of septas operations is going to be on camera.

Oh, yeah. And jose is going to hit the jersey shore and delaware beaches. Its why were going to keep you prepared for the heavy rain and coastal flooding. Its a big concern. Lets go to glenn hurricane schwartz for more on that. Were very fortunate that this storm is staying off shore because it certainly could cause a lot of trouble if it had tracked up the coast, for example, or made a bit of a left turn or hit the shore. The center of the storm is over 400 miles away. As it tracks to the north, it gets closer but not probably closer than 200 miles off shore for the center. With this track, its going to cooler and cooler waters. Its in the 80s right now. That supports the hurricane. And remember, the track takes it on a loop. If it starts looping back this way, it goes back into the warm water and it could restrengthen. Thats a possibility. The coastal flooding is the main thing to watch at our shores. Atlantic city, rehoboth beach, high tide and combining with those problems. In the meantime, the core of the storm stays offshore and spins some of the outer bands our way. Thats a band coming in tomorrow morning perhaps for portions of the jersey shore and things get really nasty. High tide plus downpours and that could cause some flooding in the streets down toward the shore. But meanwhile, theres hardly anything going on from philly back to the north and west. Just a few showers as the core of the storm goes up toward new england, as you can see, and conditions improve around here. Now, theres jose. Theres maria. Maria is going to be much more of a problem. It is intensifying rapidly. Its likely to be a category 4 or 5. Theres puerto rico. Unfortunately, the track is taking it right there. 130mileanhour winds so its now a category 4. That just came in. And expected to be a category 4 at least with 155mileanhour max winds as it goes into puerto rico. They have not been hit with a storm this bad in close to 100 years. And then it goes towards the turks caicos and stays east of the bahamas. And then it could be very interesting as we go into the end of next week and weekend. In the meantime, we have sunny, warm weather across the entire area for the rest of the week once we get past more showers. Well be right back. Its the most wonderful time of years for retailers. Before the black friday ads come out, toys r us may be filing for bankruptcy. There may be a possibility of losing a major toy store. Its sad but im not really that surprised.

Even though the center of the storm will stay off shore, hurricanes are pretty large and they can extend over hundreds of miles and thats why were going to be seeing some of that impact at the coast. Were getting some of the clouds right now and you can see the center of it pretty clearly. Thunderstorms just firing up near the center. That proves to me that its still a tropical system as it moves into colder water. That may change and theres the outer band with the heaviest rain. This is the direction that its moving so it will be getting closer to the coast at about 20
