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
we re not expecting any real precipitation in this part of the country between now and the new year, but we will take the dry after what we have been through in the past ten days with the bitter air that came through. like so many things, temperature is relative, when it s mild, relatively mild, when there are highs in the 30s. thank you for standing out in the cold for us, ron. let s go to msnbc meteorologist bonnie schneider tracking the storms for us. so where are we going to see problems today as this day unfolds? a busy travel day. and for those that are driving on interstate 10, very foggy. we have poor visibility all the way from texas to florida. along the panhandle of florida, and of course, southern alabama. this will improve as we doyne to go through the afternoon hours. a little more sunshine. another thing we re watching for improve is rain moving out of the northeast, leaving behind colder air. as that comes over the warmer waters of the great lakes, look for lake eff
this is actually a little less snow than i think they were forecasting here. we re expecting maybe two to three inches here. i think it is going to be a little bit shy of that but going forward, this snow here in central massachusetts expected to probably be gone this time tomorrow, or maybe thursday, because we are anticipating a warm-up into the 40s wednesday and thursday. but it is nice to see the snow just last week, we remember people were complaining that we didn t have a white christmas, richard. you got that right now, certainly in massachusetts. thank you so much ron mott. let s go to msnbc meteorologist bonnie schneider here with a look at the impact of this storm. how does the rest of the day look for us? more of that? unfortunately, what ron was saying is true because the cold air will be coming in behind the system. we re likely to see not only the snow but also the ice and that s the worst thing because it is going to happen in the evening hours once it gets dark. i
hypocrisy on the budget noting the party only likes austerity when democrats are president. here is the dilemma. we do have a long-term debt problem, but that doesn t mean that austerity now is the right response. the former president also touched on policy. he urged the lawmakers to tackle immigration reform as soon as possible and encourage them to own obama care. we democrats own the health reform issue now for good or ill. we had it. we did it. and there is a lot of good things in that bill. but it really matters how it s implemented. lots to talk about tonight. let s turn to john nichols, washington correspondent of the nation magazine. also with us this evening goldie taylor of the goldie taylor project and mike papantonio. urging the dems to go on the
the airport. they re going to be taking those snowplows and removing equipment all night once the storm really hits. and trying to clean the planes and trying to clean the runways, to see if they can get traffic up and moving again some time on sunday, if not sooner. it all depends on what the storm here in our area actually turns out to be. ed? all right, rehema ellis at la guardia airport tonight. thank you so much for joining us. the blizzard conditions are expected to cause flooding all along the coastal areas. many of these cities and towns are still recovering from super storm sandy. this was one of the worst natural disasters in u.s. history, and it happened less than four months ago. sandy took more than 250 lives and caused more than $74 billion in damage. many of the people displaced by sandy are still without homes. for more on this, let s go to msnbc meteorologist bill cairns. bill, it s just getting started. how bad is it going to get? right now, ed, until the next
