Our continuing coverage of hurricane jose, the jersey shore is bracing for coastal flooding and beach erosion. Its already triggering wild waves, as you can see in this live camera in cape may. Were expecting heavy downpours starting tomorrow. Lets bring in first alert glenn hurricane schwartz with more on this. Glenn . Jackie, as you can see, thats a very large storm. So even though its going to pass well east of us, were going to be impacted by it. You canc see some of the high clouds at the shore right now. Thunderstorms developing right near the center. Its not about to die out. Its centering around 380 nils southeast of Atlantic City and probably pass as close as 200 miles offshore. Thats very fortunate. It moves over the warm gulf stream first and its going to take a while to weaken. It does weaken up in this area but we see the track and it starts coming back. If it starts coming back some more, it may reintensify later in the week. Well take a look at that later. The biggest problem is with the coastal flooding, especially tomorrow evening. Moderate coastal flooding is pretty significant. You have street flooding if youre going to have heavy rain at the same time. You can see the core of the storm still well off shore but its spinning some of those outer bands of heavy rain our way and theres one of them coming in tomorrow morning, perhaps part of the morning rush at the shore and just inland. Some of the rain could be really heavy and causing flooding. In the meantime, north and west, its not a bad day. A little breezy. A couple of showers. Hardly know that theres a hurricane out there and its going to spin around out there for days and thats going to be a different kind of problem. Theres maria down just about to smash into the caribbean. This island right there, that is dominiqua. Theres the eye 30 miles away from practically destroying this island, just like barbuda got hit. The eye is very small compared to other hurricanes. 130mileanhour winds and with the way the satellite looks, it could be a category 5 very, very soon. Its headed right over puerto rico. And then as it goes out east of the bahamas, it could somehow interact with jose and what they call where it starts rotating around each other. Really weird thing is about to happen. Heres the puerto rico track. It looks pretty good up towards the eastern bahamas and after that, thats when youve got the question. Marshall here from csn. The eagles are back with the giants and however issues made from yesterdays game, the overwhelming theme being the lack of a running game. The rusher is carson wentz. The birds calling just 13 run plays and free agent la garret blount was known for a five yard penalty. Theres a lot of things that 11 guys are out there playing football and they have to make their goal and they have to get out there and execute everything for the running game. Its not doing so well right now. We have to figure out what is going on to fix it. No run game means plenty of pressure on carson wentz. There were 46 passes and the eagles are not going to be able to be under that sort of duress. Do i want them to drop back that many times . No. At the same time, ive got to look at the whole picture, the whole pie and focus in on the running game and getting that going will give us a better balance moving forward. Im not overly concerned. That will be a big part of our offense going forward. Yesterday, those raiders lit up the scoring board. And moving it on the jumbo tron as the raiders beat the jets 4520. The phillies hosted the dodgers. 43 games over. 500. The best record of baseball. Plenty of eyes will be on his first trip back to philly last year. Chase had multiple standing ovations.

We owe everything to steve for what he gave us here. I wanted to make sure that we just didnt say thank you to veterans, we had tangible things to show, and i think weve accomplished that. [ taps playing ] one last work at the weather, you can see the surf churning up and its going to be the situation for the next couple of days. We have first alert in the shore areas all the way into thursday, the ocean is going to be very rough. Were going to have showers and downpours coming in. And even though jose is going to track well off shore, at least a couple hundred miles off shore, it may not intensify any more than it is right now and as we go into the rest of the week, we do have the threat of some showers tomorrow, not a whole lot from philadelphia north and west and then it gets kind of warm and kind of dry all the way in through the weekend. Not exactly football weather by sunday. Not at all. Were talking about close to 90 degrees by then. An interesting term for jose and maria. Its called a fujiwara.
