as it moves near the florida east coast. we will watch this very closely. you see the cone gets wider the farther out we go in time because the uncertainty gets greater. so as we go through the next few days, models will get a better handle on this. as of now, a lot of computer models continue it towards the bahamas. at this point it is really a matter of whether or not this storm holds together. if it strengthens or if it stays weak as it crosses over maybe cuba. so a couple factors to keep in mind here. again, this is farther out in time so of course, as we go through the next few days we will have a much better idea of what the storm s going to do and of course, we will have more updates tonight as well. coming up, we take a look at the local forecast. we have hotter temperatures coming in for the weekend. we mentioned how erika has already hit the caribbean island of domenica. about 400 miles away, people in puerto rico are preparing for whatever the storm may bring. th
i ve been coaching for 20 years, haven t dealt with that one before. raises concerns. the drone had flown off by the time the police arrived. we were unable to locate the operator of that drone. it circled around over our heads. she had a close encounter with a drone over the weekend on ocean city s 5th street beach. you really thought if something went wrong, you would be injured. and it was frightening. the faa strongly encourages recreational drone users not to fly near people or stadiums or within 5 miles of an airport. ocean city s is not nearly that far from the football field. but police say, there s little they can do. these are only guidelines, we as law enforcement are waiting for the lawmakers to give us some enforcement powers to regulate the use of these drones. brings about a sense of, you know, you re kind of uncomfortable as a result of not knowing what the situation is. reporter: police tell me if something goes wrong, however, and someo
reporter: burglars struck five times in three days starting last weekend. sometimes they entered through open doors or windows. other times they forced their way in. we believe at least two of the jobs on saturday the people were home sleeping. so but no one was injured. nobody was touch. it s a concern it s always something on your mind but it s not something that will make you curl up in your bed. reporter: philadelphia police posted warnings and drexel alerted student this week then stepped up patrols across the area. several students said they were glad to see a bigger police presence. double locks on our doors. making sure when you open your door there aren t weird looking people there. reporter: now again no word yet on if this arrest of a burglar a few blocks from here in the last few minutes may be connected to this. police still investigating. we hope to have more information by the time we see you tonight at 10. lucy? we ll see you then, dave. to virgi
and alison on their minds. it was yesterday around this time that we went live to allison parker and for the journal alison parker and photojournalist adam ward out in the field. reporter: 24 hours earlier a former employee vest are lee flanagan shot and killed vester lee flanagan shot and killed reporter alison parker and photojournalist adam ward. mostly anchor kim mcbroom said she s just sad. please join us now in a moment of silence. i just know if it had been me that they would be telling my story. they would be trying to honor me. reporter: employees cloaked back dealers as they told their friend choked back tears as they told their friends life stories. a former wdbj news executive answered reporters questions for hours. yesterday was the worst day of my career and for most people in this newsroom. we re supposed to be on that side of the story, not on the front of the story, youen. we re supposed to be looking at the you know, we re supposed to b
the florida keys and once again intensify to a tropical storm as it approaches florida and moves inland. we could again see that. now, the cone itself has really shifted a little farther to the west. now you see monday, 2:00 p.m., that cone is now including a little more of the gulf of mexico and much less of the atlantic. so we have seen quite a big shift to the west. computer models are finally picking up on more westward movement here. of course, as it moves over land, if this were to be the case, since that cone does get wider out in time, it does have the potential to stay in the gulf of mexico but if it were to move over florida, it would weaken back down to a depression. so these storms need warm water to fuel them and keep them alive, to intensify. but any land interaction will be weakening this storm. so this is the latest track on erika. we will have more later on this evening. and we have your weekend forecast. hotter temperatures, another heat wave coming. we ll t
