force. the yellow tropical storm force. this is 5:00 today. let's put this into motion. you see the hurricane force winds move ashore by midnight tonight. winds can gust really to 50 miles per hour, 60 miles per hour as far inland as jacksonville. friday at 3:00, we still have winds of 50, 60 miles per hour around charleston, not quite to columbia. the good news is it weakens because it is over land. we are at 7:30 saturday morning. here is the wind field. we do have winds, tropical storm force and maybe a little higher north of norfolk. i guess the good news with this is most winds, those expand as they move out, all over shore. we will still see some good gusts along our coast. this is brand new. i guarantee you have not seen this. howard made this. this is going to be a storm surge. remember the hurricane has been sitting in the gulf for days. it's been building up water as it moves ashore, it takes the te storm surge if you will. what they call the big bend of florida, we are looking at a 10 to 12-foot storm surge. the good news is not many folks live here because apalachicola to the west and bigger cities are to the south. still that is a huge storm surge with hermine.

difference between the metro and the shore. we will have showers. the shore will have heavy rain. our wind will be 15 to 25, winds at the shore 40 to 50. waves at the bay, one to three. waves at the shore, three to eight. i n' flooding in the metro area. i am not as concerned as i was at this time yesterday. we will see beach erosion at the shore. a live look outside, it's 83, winds out of the north northeast at five. we have showers and storms on radar marching down to 70 and along the river and back into louden pushing into fairfax. these are heavy storms, pretty good rainfall, not much lightning now. this storm will track for you. this will move towards chantilly at 5:30 and maybe all the way to bourque at 5:49. we will keep showers and storms in until midnight. these are not hermine related. this is the cold front. showers and storms ending tonight, bus stop temps are a refreshing 62 to 75. that's fantastic. a nice finish to the week. saturday and sunday are not great but not flooding problems anymore. showers are here saturday and sunday from hermine. i think we'll salvage labor with sunshine by 1:00. the next three days, saturday upper 70s. a yellow weather alert
