Take a look at thehe l cone of uncertainty. The storm, the center of the storm can really travel anywhere in between those two white lines. But notice that now it is staying out to sea. It is not clipping the yucatan peninsula areas like cancun. So, as it entered the warmer waters of the gulf, that will help to feed the storm and likely increase it to a category 1 hurricane later tomorrow, very early sunday. You can see as it makes land fall, likely somewhere around louisiana or mississippi, so parts of louisdreyfus lieu, mississippi, the alabama and florida coast line really under the gun with this storm. The biggest concern will be storm surge flooding. Take a look as it continues to move toward the north, northeast eventually. And then get this easterly component impacting our area on monday. Here we are looking at rain, not seeing a lot of wind in the forecast, but it could be a weather alert day. More on the impacts from nate coming up. Now to doug thank you, it has been 12 hours since a violent attack in a Montgomery County neighborhood. Until police find the suspect, residents there remain on edge.

They say its a young man in his 20s wearing a dark checkered shirt or jacket and they are asking anyone in the public who may have passed this bus stop on watkins mill road in gaithersburg this morning between 5 30 and 6 00 to give them a call. Thats the latest live in gaithersburg. Jim, back to you. And thats a busy area there. All right, chris, thanks so much. Now to the latest from las vegas where investigators are trying to figure out if someone else may have been in the gunmans hotel room when he stayed at the mandalay bay resort. Crews repaired the windows, the two windows he shot out. Stephen paddock had smashed out those windows sunday night. Senior Law Enforcement officials tell nbc news there are two things they are trying to figure out now. Inside that hotel room, a charger that didnt match any of the gunmans cell phones.

The third victim, zachary barth, a congressional staffer was shot in his leg as he tried to take cover.

Okay, in ten minutes they are opening the doors, the gate. Let me show you this line. It starts around there and goes around here, and it goes around here, and it goes around here. And it goes around here. And it goes around here and it goes around here. Its making one big circle. Too bad this is not making a big w. And look at look who we found. Our we are doing great. Were talking about superstition. 94. 7 fresh fm. You have to say the radio frequency before you put me on television. So, tommy is doing a story on superstitions and i thought it was really interesting whats happened at the park leading up to this. We were talking about it all week. We met a woman named erica and she and her friend on lunch break on monday came to nats park and they staged the park. Check it out. So, the nats have a bit of a monkey on their back with some nlbs losses. So two of my friends went down to the park with me and we decided to perform an exorcism. We walked around the entire park and i kind of maybe stuck my arm with a siege through all the seats and tried to get the smoke everywhere we possibly could and tried to sweet talk the players well but it did seasons past so now we are going to win and werenging home a world series title this year. Happening. I do that at my house every time i break up with a guy. It works every time. Gets all that bad energy out. What other supervisions going on . Two years ago we had reverend moore from falls church to bless buckets of base balls. We had a blessing of the base balls thinking that would help us out in the postseason and that didnt. We thought maybe the staging would work. We also talked to a gentleman who takes the metro down and every game that hes had three beers before first pitch he says the nats win. So he feels responsible about that. If thats a superstition and helps us bring home a world series title, ill buy one for you, buddy. Love it. Of course we have a full moon. It might be waning a wee bit. It has power up there while were in sage do you have a superstition . Wheellmo theyll be opening the gates in ten minutes. Th thrown out at 7 31.

Life looks good leaving 21 people dead and now this storm is headed to mexico and our gulf coast. They are already boarding up in parts of alabama and there are some Major Concerns in new orleans tonight. Lets head over to the storm center and amelia. Amelia . Yeah, the biggest concerns in new orleans, jim, will be storm surge flooding. Already mandatory evacuations going on there. Take a look, heres the latest tropical satellite. I circled nate so you can pick it up more easily. I think if this wasnt circled it would be difficult to see where is that storm right now. It is not a super organized storm. It likely, though, will strengthen to a category 1 hurricane tomorrow durk the day as it enters the warm gulf we head into the evening and overnight hours tonight. As we look at our gulf coast, take a look, all the colors you are seeing here are hurricane watches or wrn warnings or Tropical Storm watches or warnings and flood concerns as well. The biggest concerns will be from areas like new orleans out toward mobile, alabama and over towards the pensacola area. Thats where were really going to focus on nate having the biggest impacts. Not just with storm surge flooding but also winds and a lot of heavy rain potentially as well. The storm is moving so fast and thats good news. Its not just going to sit in one place, dumping down Copious Amounts of rainfall. Tomorrow here at home its dry, its partly sunny, its nice, a bit breezy. 84 for a high. Sunday its not a wash out by any means. Some light showers are possible at times. Otherwise plenty of clouds and cooler with that increase in cloud cover, around 79 degrees, and nate impacts our area here on monday for columbus day with some monday from nate cld see some w storm, were going to keep a close eye on how nate continues to evolve monday, potentially becoming a weather alert day. And that would be for the rainfall. Just kind of bringing a nuisance to the day having the day off. But everybody looking forward to the nats game tonight, doug. Youre down at the ballpark. Its a little warm, but i love the excitement im seeing. Its perfect right now. The sun is starting to go down behind the cl
