we could see a system developing into a tropical depression over the next couple of days and it is now over the turks and caicos and some of the moisture will head over the bahamas, some of the areas that were decimated a week ago. and not a huge system but the rain and the possibility of tracking another system, we still have hurricane fatigue with dorian last week. and here is why the hurricane center is saying, and 50% chance it becomes a depression and the next five days a 70% chance. and the general depression is towards florida but this is the european computer model and it brings heavy rain to northern portions of the bahamas, and then develop off the east coast of florida, and our american model by the way has put it in areas off the west coast of florida so until they actually develop, and we get a have of the storm to track, it is really hard, our computers kind of shift around a little bit but you may hear more about this today because of the threat to the east coast than yo
effectively just stalled right over that island for a couple of days. first up in our coverage, let s go to msnbc meteorologist bill karins. he is tracking dorian s every move. where is this storm right now, bill? it s about to move very close, if not over the top of the cape lookout. it will be interesting to see if we get an official landfall or not. but the northern eye, the bright red is now moving onshore. this is the first time that the core of the hurricane has been over land since it left grand bahama island. it also by the way this is the ninth day in a row we ve been tracking hurricane dorian. only 10% of all hurricanes usually last that long. if you have hurricane fatigue, there is a good reason for it. we also have this tornado watch that continues until 7:00 a.m. numerous bands, and this could even be continued. we have 14 tornadoes in the last 24 hours, and a couple of them were pretty big ones. let s go a little closer zoomed in map here, and here is morehead city. onc
constantly changing storms like dorian, one of the major problems is hurricane fatigue. yeah. how do you get people how can local leaders keep their communities from going back to the houses and businesses too soon? yeah, you know, i think it s being honest and up-front, you know. i think part of the most local officials have done a good job at this saying, look, we know this is happening, be prepared now, take these steps now. and just be honest and up-front with people from the very beginning that this is going to be a long-term thing that, you know, you re going it get prepared, we ll tell you when you need to evacuate. and just be honest with people up front. i think a lot of the local officials have done that. i know you still have folks on the inside at fema. how are they doing? how s the response going so far? they are good. you know, the folks over at fema, the professional staff are some of the best in the world. i ve been i have been in contact with some of th
folks need to continue to pay pa attention to their local officials, heed their warnings, stay inside, stay somewhere safe. don t try to go out in the t int middle of the storm because we a don t want to putus those folksn jeopardy. we want to make sure their safe so that our first responders cae focus on those who are mostsp i need. brian you ve been in this t situation before.n before how do you fight hurricane fatigue? we ve been covering this g hurricane now for the better foh part of a week and as fafrt forecasters, we know that hurricanes change.icanes but how do you make sure people follow through on the mandatory evac weighi evacuation orders before they start tuning it out a bit? this is the fourth year in a evs be row inh ye florida where we re f dealing withlori major hurrican. you try to explain to them whatm our thought processes are.s why you re make the decisions that you re making in terms of shutting down schools and scho shutting down government, ol closing roads,
beach. we could see the beach literally being swept away piece by piece as the waves were pounding on it yesterday and that will continue for another day. i want to bring in anthony young, who is the vice mayor of vero beach where miguel was just speaking with us. mr. vice may or, thank you for being with us. miguel was talking about what has almost become a hurricane fatigue for some of the people in florida who have been preparing for dorian for days now. what is the message you want to send? this is kind of like a protracted boxing match. you ve got to keep your guard up, because actually in the next 24 hours with the forecast to have the storm move along our coast, it will be offshore probably early evening into this evening. so this is when you re going to have the most impact in our community and it s not only the beach side. if you think about the impact of the wind on the interior of vero
