issue, it s anything tidally connected, the tidal creeks, the waterways. that s why we re so concerned that any of these low-lying areas where there are a lot of communities, that there could potentially be some storm surge into some of the structures. certainly, the oceanfront with the large battering waves. and that s before we get 2 feet to 3 feet of rain. so just imagine the effect that that will have. we see the storm approaching the coast right now. again, we have the radar imagery up. any chance that it shifts paths at this point, or are you pretty certain of where this thing is going? yeah, it seems pretty certain at this point. and of course, there ll be certain adjustments, as it moves into the area, but i mean, for days now, the forecast has been for it to approach southeast north carolina and other aspects of the southeast u.s., but now, certainly, those proebbabilitie are focused right noin tonight cape fear area, but it s such a
think so much. blake? what time of year when you ve got to look toward the caribbean and the gulf. now we are watching tropical storm gordon which is bringing heavy rain and gusty winds to florida. that storm is heading for a northern gulf coast landfall tomorrow. possibly, a category one hurricane. warnings they are posted, meteorologist predicting battering waves, flash flooding, and a couple of isolated tornadoes and waterspouts could be a result as well. a hurricane watch has also been posted for coastal areas of louisiana, mississippi, alabama, and throughout florida as well. new information on a woman caught on video, ringing doorbells while fleeing from an allegedly abusive boyfriend. plus, the battle over president trump s supreme court nominee begins tomorrow. judge brett kavanaugh s confirmation hearing begins. our guests tell us what to expect. if you are looking to be republican president to pick a qualified conservative, he would
45, a couple inches of rain. but the real impact and we ve seen this for a couple of days along the entire eastern seaboard. battering waves, rip currents and beach erosion. we ll be dealing with this a couple days. now the forecast models indicate that jose will go out and come back. it may come back towards the east coast later this weekend or next week. and what that could do, and we re hoping, is that it steers maria out to sea. so, maria is going to come towards the southeast as jose comes back towards the west. and they re going to do this, what we call fujiwara, a dance. they re going to go into orbit. hopefully it will pin maria out into the atlantic and send it out to the west land fall. that is the likely scenario. as you know, brian, tropical forecasting 5, 6 days in advance is shaky at best. that s what we re hoping for. but in the meantime, puerto rico, the virgin islands, are going to take a direct hit from a very dangerous hurricane if
hit puerto rico in 85 years. so, this is a major hurricane. it could be catastrophic with land slides, flash flooding, 20 to 25 inches of rain in the mountains in puerto rico. not to say the u.s. virgin islands won t get hit hard. the islands that got hit barbuda, they re going to be too far north. again, everything rushed to completion in puerto rico and the virgin islands tonight and tomorrow. and, mike, about what s behind you, how much of a wallop are portions of the east coast going to get tomorrow? well, we re looking at jose as like a nor easter. it s going to be gusty northeast winds, maybe some of the winds gust to 50 miles an hour up around cape cod. up at montawk, we may get 40, 45, a couple inches of rain. but the real impact and we ve seen this for a couple of days along the entire eastern seaboard. battering waves, rip currents and beach erosion. we ll be dealing with this a couple days.
the real impact, battering waves, rip currents and beach ereegs. we re going to be dealing with this for a couple more days. now the forecast models indicate it will go out and come back. it may come back towards the east coast later this weekend or next week. and what that could do and we re hoping is that it steers maria out to sea. so maria is coming to come towards the southeast as jose comes back towards the west and they re going to do this what we call dance. they re going to go into orbit and jose hopefully will pin wheel maria out spew the atlantic and spare the east coast a direct landfall. that s not etched in stone. that s the likely scenario but as you know tropical forecasting five, six days in advance is shakey at best. in the meantime, puerto rico, the virgin islands are going to take a direct hit if not a cat
