the key moments. >> kevin: all right. with the fresh data in from the hurricane center, and the newest fix on hurricane matthew, let's start out with the monster tom. through eastern cuba right now and into the bahamas tonight, the southern bahamas an turning left. this by the way is turks and caicos, the tropical storm warning, the bahamas start here. all the way this far south. the bahamas are that far, that long of an island chain, then coming up through the bahamas, toward nassau, which would be on the weaker side on this track, although still in that area where the track can come right through or move a little farther away, toward grand bahama island where freeport is, but no the western fringes from miami, northward to melbourne and even into jacksonville, florida, that's tall part of the western fringe of these tracks. there is equal probability this can go left or right. west or east of this center point. that's why you need to concentrate on this entire area, not just the center point. the center point is an average. if it does end up being the average, it would come right along parallelling the coast of florida, to the carolinas, and then make landfall somewhere along wilmington, north carolina, perhaps even into cape the storm is going to come very controls. it will waiver a little bit left-to-right, but come very close to the southeast u.s. where it goes from here is highly uncertain. i'll show you why. first, the official track takes it to the northeast, the category 1 hurricane off the coast of the mid-atlantic an towards southern new england. this takes it very close to nantucket. by sunday the 2:00 p.m., a minimal hurricane. when it gets this close, they tend to open up. mean heavy rain on t and on the right side is where all the wind would end up being. if this goes farther to the left within the track possibilities, we get into the windy side of the storm. farther out to sea, we get absolutely nothing. that's how close it's going to be on this track. but that track is not certain. let me show you why. we put all the computer models together on one chart, call it a spaghetti plot, you've seen me use this before. they're all bunched together coming through the bahamas, a little bit of left-to-right movement, including a landfall in miami from one computer model, up through the carolinas, the left-to-right movement, but still a lot of agreement here, right? but check out the ones that are turning this storm back around, and heading southward. some of our best computer models from england and the european computers showing that this is going to happen. why? that front coming in through the country, pushing it not just out to sea, but blocking it from moving northward. it is a possibility, but it's the first time we've seen it, and that's why the hurricane center is keeping that track going northward. if we see model run, the forecast may have to be adjusted quite a lot after the carolinas. back home, temperatures are in the 50's for dinnertime right now. we'll get some clouds to move back in tonight, but those will break up during the course of the day tomorrow and back into sunshine. the seven-day forecast shows the possibility of some rain and wind by sunday from matthew if it does track northward. we really have to watch to see what happens with future computer model runs and how fast the front comes in from the west, if it will block the storm through the bahamas and heading to the southeast u.s. when we enjoy nice weather the next couple of days. if you have questions, shoot them at me on

as it rotated northward toward the eastern tip of cuba. stop it here and go from the eastern tip to about the center here, looks like about 15 miles on satellite imagery. of course, it's moving northward it's doing its damage already. certainly, in cuba. the only saving grace, the back side of this storm is the weaker wind side. still powerful winds and we're dealing with winds around the center of 140 miles per hour. the hurricane-force winds extend out 45 miles from the center. this makes it in to the bahamas this evening. 2:00 p.m. it's here. through freeport and grand bahama island by 2:00 p.m. now i say that, that's the center line, but cautioning you and i will say it every single time, the track can go this far west or this far east with the current projections and of course, that can always fluctuate as well. but the bottom line is you can't look at the center line an say it's not a danger to us in jacksonville, florida. yes, it is. it comes closer to the coast, you get a landfall. it's not that far offshore. but most projections take this and throw it up the coast of carolina through wilmington or thereabouts. by the middle of the weekend, after this, all bets are off. now the official track continues it toward the northeast, toward new england, the western side of this storm, the weaker side, is where we would be on the center track. but obviously, if it tracks farther west and the probability area, we get bigger impacts, farther east, we get nothing from this storm. and both an equal possibility at this point. in fact, let me show you what the latest computer model trends have been and throw in some of my two cents here. this is coming up toward the north and we've been talking about this the last couple very confident this is going to move through the bahamas and into the conference, -- carolinas, based on all the computer models. that's what you have to look at the storms and see where they're going. we use a lot of different ones rather than just pick one and go with it. from this point, it becomes very sketchy and the reason is the interaction with this front from the northwest. now that front comes through too quickly, everything gets blocked. big area of high pressure blocks the storm, so instead of coming northward, it stalls an even still. it looks out to lunch compared to the other computer models, but it's also been our most reliable computer model with that european and you all on social media love the european model. don't trash it because of this one run. if this high pressure builds far enough south, this does happen. otherwise, that front, sets up a bowling alley out ahead of it for this to roll right up toward us and that's still a possibility as well. so confident into the carolinas, not so does it stall or continue up the coast toward us. that's what we'll be examining over the next couple days. the good news is we have time to prepare. in the meantime, back home, all we're getting is clouds drifting in in the morning and back to sunshine. you'll see in the seven-day forecast, temperatures are pleasant with that sunshine, right into the start of the weekend. if we're going to get any effects from matthew, i'm pinpointing sunday as the day to watch for that. but still, not a guarantee, 60% chance for showers, only because even if matthew doesn't make it, there's still the cold front with a couple of showers that ahead and update next half-hour. >> mark: toyota is looking to make your drive a bit less lonely. look at the latest invention. this is?q9s? a mini robot desigo
