and that will continue on. the storm surge potential. we ve been we ve been talking about that. that s where most of the deaths happen. we re talking high tide tomorrow morning, early tomorrow morning around 2012:55 to 1:15 a.m. from cape canaveral into jacksonville beach. then we move into tonight. again, early tomorrow morning. a 6 to 9 foot storm surge. charleston, myrtle beach around 2:00 a.m. high tide as you move into cape hatteras around 12:30 or so. that s going to be a very dangerous time. amounts of up to 15 inches fallinge1 before we get into saturday stretching from savannah, charleston, wilmington, cape hatteras. zu ve seen the powerfá already in florida. we have the potential for widespread powerlp outages fort pierce, melbourne, daytonafá
that is pretty incredible. the storm surge potential tonight is around midnight to 1:00 a.m. as far as high tides. and then storm surge onto of that, from jacksonville, up to charleston, and cape hatteras. the rainfall anywhere from five to ten inches of rain but we can t rule out up to 15 inches. and the other big problem, power outages. you re looking at more palm trees from jacksonville down to west palm beach. but you get to the georgia border, south carolina, north carolina, leafier greens and trees. those are now still fall hasn t happened. they still have leaves. we ve got the extensive possibilities of power outages, along the coast. but the real deal, morgan, is
watching really closely, i want to show you on this radar. we move that over here. it s completely out of the area. so they re seeing a glimpse of sunshine, high pressure steering this system and the outer bands really not affecting that area. where we have a big-time issue here is freeport into the grand bahamas here where it is completely sitting. the issue is this will not move for 36 hours. can you imagine that? this is going to be a ton of water here and talking about the left side quadrant really going to be shifting more to the west here and that s why the storm surge potential is very high. all right. thank you. before you go i want to talk through what we re seeing from the president online on twitter as he has been retweeting things on hurricane dorian delaying or stopping his trip to poland and
accelerate it out through the northeast and moved away by that trough later in the week. however, until this happens, we started to see a west-northwest bent now. but it is still moving so slowly. that means you can see this area that s in the cone of uncertainty from palm beach, orlando, jacksonville, charleston, cape hatteras. we may see a landfall, the european model just coming in now, starting to intimate that maybe that line crosses over into the carolinas. we may have a landfall there. we ll have to wait and see. but again, until this gets caught up there is really nothing to steer it. it can wobble back and forth. we worry about it moving a little further west because that would bring more effects of the tropical force winds and even hurricane force winds in. what that means is storm surge. the storm surge potential of those winds pushing water on to the shore. we could see 6 to 9-foot storm
having my medication, cat food, dog food, and cash, because banks will be closed and they will be out of power, so you cannot get money out of the bank so you ve got to have cash. nbc meteorologist is tracking the latest moves. we ve got morgan waiting for the storm and mario in florida bracing for impact. janessa, to you first, any chance that dorian turns into a category five before it hits the bahamas? potentially with the slowdown that we re seeing out of the west here at only 8 miles per hour, that slowdown will increase the wind sheer potentially. it will only need to go 7 more miles per hour before it comes a cat five. now, this is a textbook eye that we re currently seeing across the northwestern bahamas with hurricane warnings still in place. now, the elevation of the bahamas is only about 3 meters here and with a storm surge
