the region did not see he as much sensity as we could have seen. we can show the track and what we re looking at is definitely the storm working its way onshore and we ll see some improvements there eventually. so there we go. okay. so there is the track for saturday. and you can see that by the time we get to saturday afternoon, the storm becomes a lot weaker. so that is good news. here we are at the current conditions, we have 75-mile-an-hour winds. still a category 1. so going from category 5 to category 1. north north eeasterly movement d it will be something to keep in mind as we go toward. so we re watching for this and we re checking things out into texas, as well.ftoward. so we re watching for this and we re checking things out into texas, as well.oward. so we re watching for this and we re checking things out into texas, as well.rward. so we re watching for this and we re checking things out into texas, as well. houston will see a big threat for rainfall going forward, possibl
what s it looking like? reporter: good morning. things are looking a lot better, the storm has weakened quite a bit. it s now considered a category one storm around 75 mile. so as quickly takes strengthened, it weakened rather quickly once it hit land. the big question right now, just how stens suffextensive is the . overnight mexico s president says at first reports indicate the damage is not as extensive as many might have feared, still they have not been able to look up and down the entire coast. this storm hit the hardest part of the storm, most powerful part of it appeared to hit some of the most isolated area, which is good news, but there are a lot of fishing villages in the areas so they will have to try to get in there with daylight. but as far as two of the more populated areas, manzanillo, portuerto vallata, we have seen
hoping that it would not be as bad as some had predicted. and so far this morning the damage is pretty minor, no major damage reports. and so far no reports of any fatalities by this massive hurricane. that is a relief. my thanks to joe fryer. now we want to turn to texas which could see as much as 10 inches of rain over the next 24 hours. there could be 2 to 3 inches of rain each hour from corpus christi to houston. charles hadlock is live in dallas. how is it going there? reporter: we re watching closely hurricane poo stlaatric. the weather we re having here is not directly associated with the hurricane, but the remnants of that storm are expected to move over parts of texas over the next 48 hours from now. but we ve already been saturated with another weather system that
