tuesday morning, category 3, wednesday morning all the way up to carolinas near carolina coast, that s taking you all the way through thursday now falling to category 2 storm, there s still a lot of indecision with this, that s a big cone of uncertainty, so this could still run up into florida and run right up the coastline but now entirely possible that this stays off the coast, now a storm of that magnitude just off the coast could still do a lot of damage, you could city pay attention and i will leave you with forecast models, some running in the carolinas, tuesday and wednesday. leland: next update in a couple of hours, thank you, sir.
to slow down, i m leland vittert, we bring adam klotz where is storm is and where it s headed. it s a slow-moving storm, at this point moving 8 miles an hour, huge storm, massive storm, current category 5 at 150 miles an hour, gusting to 85 miles an hour, when you look at the storm you look at defined eye wall, the thing that s hard to track where exactly it s going to head, we continue to get updated models that are drifting the thing further to the east which could be good news for folks across florida, here is our forecast track, running into the bahamas, at this point cone of uncertainty are clear, areas like miami or south florida, you see this turn in central florida and you run up the coast, this is taking ewe you from
as you look at the storm and the way it s tracking, does it get better from here or worse from here? there had been talk a couple of days ago about the north and east. is the possibility more north and east or the bad contingency of it turn back still alive? there s a possibility that it could turn back, but we look at trends with hurricane forecasting. what has been the trend in model runs? it s trending farther away from the coast of florida and that s good news. obviously it s not good news if you live along this area, even trending farther east, may be trending farther out to sea so i would say that s positive. thanks, adam. with that we turn down to the coast of florida, delray beach, florida and there is griff jenkins on the beach, if you didn t know there was a hurricane 400 miles away, you would think it s a nice day.
is serious, people stay home and have hurricane parties and get caught like what happened in louisiana they didn t leave or didn t even see the significance of the storm until it was too late. but you also, there is a significant economic impact when ever basically a state shuts down because something is coming and we hope and pray this thing turns north, obviously, but the question, do people get tired of that? i don t think there s an answer, but we have to be careful every day when we do that. yeah, the risk and fear of complacency. turn back to when you re headed back to washington. hurricane or not. everybody is coming back to town. your take aways for what we should look for for the next three months or so? you ll have to ask nancy pelosi. the first is that we finish the budget stuff. we have the topline budget agreement, but again, i think they ll pivot to the election, the whole year has been passing
preparing for dorian, mayor suárez, appreciate you taking the time, you ve got to have, the pressure has to be off a little bit here. we definitely woke up to good news that the storm seem to be taking northerly trajectory just like we woke up to good news this morning we are hoping that the trend continues and we don t wake up to bad news tomorrow. we have seen a lot of the storms over the course of the years have a very, very funky trajectory, so we are remaining vigilant, even if it doesn t become as hurricane-wind effect, we we are likely to see tropical storm conditions which do present flooding concerns for the city, we deal with flooding issues on intense rainy day already and we are spending hundreds of millions of dollars in infrastructure to become resilient for the next few generations. leland: i m going to share that line funky trajectory with meteorologists and see brings
