land fault because it s all about eye wall the strongest part of the storm. if it does could spell disaster. in less than an hour we ll have the latest update on hurricane matthew. from your tracking cities such as charleston, south carolina, they re in a critical state right now. they really are because the trend has been for the track to carry it along the coast in northeasterly movement and off shore i really think the forward momentum will most likely make land fall. notice winds 115. this time yesterday was 145. if it just drops by five miles an hour it will be category two. land fall is still significant. the eye is 35 miles east of st. augustine and 45 of jacksonville so they re still in the thick of it. the rain shield is so incredible already the land is getting completely soaked before the strong winds even push in. the surge is a big issue we re
bloomsburg. now, when you look where aberdeen is, bloomsburg is almost due north, possibly a li little westward. that makes sense if it was to follow the rain shield northward instead of the winds at 16,000 feet to the northeast. it s unconfirmed but we ve had pictures from the bloomsburg area where obviously it s not that high at all. so this is a massive, of course, blimp that is drifting slower than 30 miles per hour, and if it s below that cloud deck it s going to be even slower with the rain hampering its movement. but again, it s interesting, not following winds to the northeast but if it s well lower, of course, below the cloud deck, north to northwest. again, that is some distance from the scranton area to the southwest. so very interesting. we re working to confirm that if it is on the ground, which would be very good news if it landed in a safe area. right. not confirmed yet. we re on it, trust me. tom sater, thank you. mary schiavo, thank you as well. we ve now getten our
pope benedict followed that his was a white armored mercedes suv. his had gold trim and a seat with hydraulic lift and built-in oxygen supply. but pope francis likes the open air version with a rain shield saying i cannot greet the people and tell them i love them inside a sardine can, even if it is made of glass. for me it is a wall. for pope francis, this allows him not only to kiss babies but serves for easier dinner delivery. the pontiff s car choice probably adds more stress for his security team but it s also a sign of his leadership and a new phase in the ever-evolving history of the pope mobile. am amora walker cnn. and the title may be stripped not because he lost a fight, but because he didn t follow rules.
let s get back to chad. this is a precursor. what do we anticipate, given the indications that you re getting? well, you can see the lightning now on the screen. it would be amazing to continue to watch this storm as it moves right over the camera, because it will. it s moving at about 20 or 30 miles per hour coming in i know think that i m losing the visibility on the edge of the camera and that means the rain shield, the pale shield is right there getting closer and closer to us, probably only three or four miles from the camera but what really concerns me is all of the cars that you see on the road. i m looking at cars. they are not moving at all. they are completely stopped. i m assuming this is 72nd and center. this is the old medical center. but look at all of these cars, all of those headlights not even moving and this green, the green is showing up again on the screen right through here. that s the hail falling from the
on tuesday the storm makes it to the east coast. heavy rain spreads up the eastern seaboard during the day. start out dry in areas like north carolina, then it will move northward, the rain shield. reach areas like new york city late in the day. as far as the snow goes, the heaviest snow will be as we go through tuesday night into wednesday morning. up into areas like pittsburgh, possibly, buffalo, syracuse, and also northern new england. as far as snow totals go, possibility of maybe three to six. a few spots getting up there around six inches. enough, brian, the snowy travel will only be an issue there really buffalo to pittsburgh. maybe northern new england. other areas, i-95, including your trip on wednesday, all heavy rain early wednesday. gone by early afternoon. hopefully it will speed up more and be gone. up next, the white house reacts to the criticism of the nuclear deal with iran. deputy national security adviser tony blinken joins us. morning joe coming right back.
