That of course posts a serious flooding risk. You got to remember across hadi. They have terrain that goes 6,000 to 10,000 feet in elevation. You force the moisture up the terrain and condensing it out. Mud slides will be an issue here across the mountainous terrains of haiti and the dominican. In terms of the eyewall. The eye made landfall across southwestern over land right now. It will not spend a lot of time overland. Wind sustain 140 Miles Per Hour tracking to north. The concern later this week is the northwesterly bend you can see it getting very close by wednesday night across nashua in the bahamas here. Then very close thursday night into friday morning along the florida coastline. Its possible that there will be hurricane conditions along the east coast of florida. Even if the eye stays just offshore. If the eye moves onshore more up through the carolina coastline. Question for us how close to new england does it come. I think we at least get some rain out of it as we get into

It is still a powerful category four storm. Packing winds of 145 miles per hour. It is also moving north at about ten miles an hour. Although its still days away, the latest update now puts us, new england, in the cone of uncertainty. Lets get over the meteorologist Chris Lambert. He has been tracking matthew storm. Chris we are in the cone on day five. That would be on sunday. Right now we have a long ways to go to get there, though. The storm right over haiti. It continues its journey off to north. You can see all the hurricane warnings that are in place across the bahamas, hurricane watch in place, across florida and you get closer to miami, there is a Tropical Storm watch in place. That extends through portions of the keys here. It is going to be a close call with florida. No question, though, this goes right

There is more, variables in the atmosphere. More ingredients. More chest pieces if you will in the chess board. That can affect outcome to the forecast does have it south of new england on sunday morning. If that were to happen probably it would look like this. We would have a cold front racing out of the great lake states. Here would be matthew and the cold front would draw some moisture out of matthew as the cold front is moving through. But also keep the strongest winds of matthew away from new england. And we also catch catch the tide cycle at a break so not anticipating any coastal though from matthews weather system. Moisture.
