the area ravaged by hurricane dorian, now faces a new threat. a tropical storm is forecast to impact the islands tomorrow. and it also poses a threat to florida. so cnn meteorologist chad myers has been tracking the storm. what now, chad? allison, really, the hurricane hunters have been out there looking for a center and can t find anything significant yet. that s not why this is not called humberto yet, but i think it will be. certainly, we have warm weather out there, not as warm as it could have been. i ll show you that map in a second. the circulation center is over the bahamas now, but most of the convection is not over the center, so it s not getting stronger. that area that i have circled is what got hit so hard. now, there will be rain. there will be 4 inches of rain over that area that certainly doesn t need any rain, because they don t even have roofs on their homes. bus think the anomaly of the water temperature. 1 to 2 to 3 degrees colder than normal because dorian mixed
through the circulation center. that is very dangerous. it is a uniquely dangerous situation because when a hurricane intensifies all the way to landfall, it makes the wind damage much worse. inn sententense storms are high convective. a loft down to the surface. as the last report said, i think there is a lot of work still to do and figuring out how bad michael s wrath was in north florida just because yesterday was so chaotic. i think we still will find out a bit about how bad this thing really was as sunrise approaches here. that s right. sunrise in panama city is 6:42 a.m. when you get people to start to venture out, there is a real danger. we should remind people the
report and for all day your incredible work. perfect time to bring in nbc meteorologist, steve. help me understand start with the river going the wrong way. it s confusing. now in miami, they re having the same situation that tampa had earlier today where the wind is blowing out the water, blowing out the tide. it s because the circulation is a pinwheel. the position of it was south of tampa today, which meant the wind came from the land towards the water. now that that circulation is to the north, that land breeze is now in miami. they re getting the same thing here. we ll break it down for you here. i ll show it to you on a map. maybe a little easier to understand. it s a little confusing situation to see tides actually blow out, but it does happen occasionally during tropical systems. that s what we have for you, indeed, this evening. in miami where they re getting the high tide tonight, ironically the water is being blown back out. that s because the circulation
begin to lighten up and perhaps move out of the area as early as this evening, by tomorrow we should be rain free. molly: even as the water stops coming from the sky it will take it a while receipt. this is an area with lots of streams and values and various systems in place to control that water, what can we expect in the coming days? the focus is going to shift a little bit across parts of the port arthur area where it is raining very heavily and harvey circulation center will come on shore tomorrow morning on the gulf coast up there and the heavy rain will continue in those areas, parts of southwest louisiana also under the gun. eventually this entire system will move north and east affecting parts of arkansas by the end of the week but probably nothing like we ve seen over the last three or four days in the houston area. molly: how long will it take this water to get out of there and head for the gulf and
about 100 miles south of houston. this is our visible satellite imagery. you can see the building cloud tops here, these are all new showers and thunderstorms near that circulation center down by the coast and we have seen the additional rainfall piling up. around the houston area, we were afraid we would get the heaviest rain training back into houston today. this map shows us how much rain has fallen, storm totals. you remember, we were thinking when it starrted we were saying two to three feet, it seemed outlandish to say two to three feet of rainfall. so we continue with this epic amounts of rain, we still have a lot of bad weather up here in louisiana and north of houston too where there have been some evacuations there? finally here s our forecast math path, it s not until thursday at
