it has to do with the area of high it it would steer to the north. the clockwise wind, and the trough or the dip in the atmosphere is slower than expected. that allowed the high pressure in the atlantic be stronger and move to the the west, and that is what caused matthew and the hurricane tracks to get closer to florida, and that will also mean the wind speeds here will increase into thursday and will be determined by the eventual track of the storm. the rain chances don't have anything to do with matthew, but we will see pockets of heavy rain like yesterday. i will take you through tomorrow's forecast hour-by- hour. >> checking back with you for more on that. palm beach county has moved to a heightened straight of alert. there's a staff on standby right now, and governor scott declared a state of emergency for every county on monday. the attorney general activated the price gouging hot line. she is urging everyone to contact her office if they suspect price gouging. 1-866-9-no-scam. we will have it on our website, wfla.com as well. state law prohibits extreme price increases on essentials gas, and also hotels. and so remember that information if you feel like there is price gouging. you report it with the numbers on the screen. now to leslee lacey to see what is happening on the roads?
