we have seen the model shift 100 hours in the next couple of days which put this system on a truck to make landfall somewhere near charlotte or ft. myers, that is where we are looking. we would not be surprised to see further south than at this particular track, bringing in a bit earlier, as well. with all of that said, this comes in as a stronger storm, it certainly comes in. her, with 9 for the storm surge potential, and the rental amounts are what is most staggering because it is not often that you see the map covering an area so large from orlando and points northward where it is the top of the charts with 20+ inches of rainfall in store. not only are using flash flooding risks but certain property damage if you do not heed these evacuations, and, that is the biggest concern with a storm of this magnitude, is that when they tell you you have to evacuate, not just on the coast, england, you are in an area where flooding is a major potential. with this much rainfall in a short durati
well. this is kind of a setup of the model guidance. see this gradually really tighten up here. and portions of tampa or italy in the forecast so, now it s shifted a little further south from them. and brings the storm system across this region into the early afternoon hours. i want to bring in the storm surge potential. because when you take a look at the threat here for portions of florida, we know that when the largest most prone regions to storm surges right here around western florida. the florida shelf expands about 150 miles. it s about 300 feet across this entire region. so, when you see a system of this magnitude that s parked over this continental shelf, it allows the shallow waters to really allow that water to funnel and pile right into these waterways, these influx, and that s the concern here, with significant threat for storm surge as high as nine feet for areas of port charlotte, gorda, and the siesta key region as well, kristie. the threats, armenia threats imminent,
the eastern, excuse me, the western coastline of that particular area. and then it is going to race across the bahamas and potentially strengthen as it does so to a category 2 hurricane. then better watch out in bermuda. that storm starting to make a beeline toward that area. here s a look at the storm surge potential, 1 to 2 feet across portions of u.s. and british virgin islands. 1 to 3 feet of storm surge along the south coastline of puerto rico, also the shoreline of the dominican republic as we get that onshore wind from tropical storm filona which is strengthening and getting closer to puerto rico. lots of issues to keep our eyes on throughout the show. you ll be back in the next hour. cnn meteorologist derek van dam, thanks so much. puerto rican rapper and singer bad bunny premiered the video of his song the blackout this weekend, have a look.

say, 3:00 or 4:00 in the afternoon. has kind of remained pesky, remained just offshore. meandering along the coastline battering these coastal communities. now, reaching category 1 strength literally at the 11th hour here. but our 14th named storm of the season. it takes the 18th of november for us to get this far into the list of hurricane names. so kind of speaks to how active a scene it s been. but the weather prediction center already ramping this up sending this to a level four. this is a rare situation here to see a high-risk, severe-flooding event potentially in place. and we saw this issued in advance of ida s remnants arriving in the northeast a couple of weeks ago. only 4% of storms get this sort of a designation of these high-risk days. and about 40% of weather-related fatalities happen on these bad days. so this is something really important to note with the storm system. and notice, storm surge potential, southward into port o connor. that area, three to five feet with a s
