the last time they grounded the balloons was in 1970-something and we will be close to that. we might see a grounding of the balloons. we hope that will not be the case but it could be. whether travel delays, a lot of red and orange and yellow. it will be difficult to travel today. the next storm system will impact us this weekend. people are wondering about those balloons. there is the criteria. let s go back. criteria and we are really close. they have police on scene. every balloon has a wind gauge. they will decide tomorrow at 9:00 am. jillian: 1971. almost 50 years ago and it could happen tomorrow. goodbye, happy thanksgiving.
hike along the. trail. and one of our viewers shows us around his hometown in columbia got back into. the wind gauge in schweigen the question this is where the german wind route starts it s one of germany s oldest tourist routes. yet some people prefer not to talk about who invented it. if you look closely you ll see an odd blank space below the eagle that s just old out but you can still make out what it once was a swastika the wine route was an idea of the nazis today you ll look in vain for
virginia beach too. this wind field in yellow, it s a huge encompassing storm, but the center is not as intense as it was. we ll wait and see. we have morehead city. there is a wind gauge there, and there is also one at cape lookout. we ll get a good idea. when the band moves a little farther to the north, we ll see how high the winds are, and that will determine how much damage we re going to get. we ll watch these over the next two hours, alex. even on the back side of the storm, it s still gusting pretty good at wilmington 57. i m sure that s keeping some people up in the middle of the night, not lets them get some good sleep. hey, bill, is there any chance dorian could reconfigure itself into a more powerful hurricane? no. too late now. that will peter out? it s actually being more sheared. it s starting to move faster now. but the wind shear, the winds aloft are not favorable for development. and that s why it s still over warm water. the hurricane center says it will slow
city southwards, this area is what s going to kick to the north. this is what is going to have possibly with it the strongest of those winds. we still have a ton of rain with this too. i ve kind of been adjusting my graph here as we ve been going along. we just haven t had a lot of reports of bad storm surge, all the way from the north carolina, georgia coast. georgetown had a pretty good one this afternoon, one of the highest. i knocked that down to the minor category. inland flooding threat, we have a lot of flash flood warnings going on right now, numerous locations have received six to ten inches of rain and it s still going to rain for another 12 hours. i think that could have moderate impact. you won t know about those flooding especially flash flooding problems until tomorrow. as we go over the next hour or two, these are the areas, the cape lookout wind gauge, the morehead city, and the emerald isle, this is what if we re going to get that dramatic jump in winds. right now
to soak up the last few minutes of fun. because the residents were given the warning last week, they feel like everyone is prepared. i think most people panicked and they left. by my mom, the whole place is empty, everything is boarded up. going through orlando, going to hotels, sitting waiting it out. the last few hours we haven t had many of those hard downpours of rain. the only thing that s really changed are the wind gusts that seem to be getting a little stronger, our anemometer or wind gauge we are checking it out, 10-50 miles per hour. now it s been up as high as 20-25 miles per hour. it really gives people perspective what they are going through. kind of catch you off balance when you have a strong gust, but what the people are going through right now, 180, 85-mile-per-hour winds, so the people are watching it closely seeing what this hurricane can
