warm. so we are anticipating the potential for a weakening, but still a major hurricane. landfall is possible in the florida keys. perhaps a second one on the coast of florida. this is the cone of uncertainty, evening it could move further to the east or the west. we ve seen that with the computer models going back and forth. so i want to let everyone know that this line isn t the exact path of the storm. it could jog to the left or the right. the massive diameter, several hundred miles of the storm, puts it into perspective. you can see that even if you re on the west coast, the east coast, you re going to feel the effects of irma. that s where we re anticipating power outages statewide because of this windfield. so the orange is the hurricane force winds, winds 74 miles per hour or greater. they extend to miami. boca raton, you re likely to see
i think it s possible. but remember this line isn t necessarily the exact track. it s a average of all the computer moold models, some of pushing east, some are pushing west, this is the average between the two. we re talking about a narrow peninsula only 140, 150 miles wide. with that being said, with the massive size of the storm i think all of florida will be impacted, where the eye goes, where the strongest wipds go, looks like the models are going more west than east. this storm has kept us on our toes because the models keep shifting. the dynamics of the atmosphere are changing before our eye. a difference in one factor makes a big difference in the track. which speaks to the evacuation orders we ve heard. appreciate your expert reporting. we ll come back to you
tessa scheduled to release its first suv today. it has doors that open upward. that s a little frightening, isn t it? if you want one of these, elon musk says it will take at least eight months. the company reports it s already received more than 30,000 orders for the suv.

it s either to the east or the west. this line is splitting it. that line isn t going to happen. it s either this scenario or that scenario. not this middle scenario. everybody getting wet? everybody s getting wet. from florida all the way up to coast. either scenario, we will have 10-inch-plus rainfalls. this scenario, we could see an 18-inch rainfall situation. big, big flooding. this is a saturday, sunday, into monday event. when will we have a better idea about what model is right? generally we send up weather balloons twice a day. today they started doing it four times a day so we have better initialization of those models. by tomorrow, we should have a better idea on these. we should de-conflict. we should. but we re watching this one seriously. thank you. we ll wait for you updates. more on our top story. russia telling american forces to please move before it started bombing enemies of the syrian
