a dramatic shift from the hurricane center and its track. the wind is going to be a factor. we've talked about this regardless of joaquin, the wind is going to be a factor in to the weekend coming on shore. water continues to pile up along the coast. it's going to splash over some roads, street flooding along the coast. 57 degrees right now. northeast gun gusting to 17. high today only 64. tomorrow stays in the 50s. first time since early june. might be dry north and west. the rain gets steadier through the day. wind is picking up, gusting over 35, maybe even 40 along the coast and tomorrow late in the day, 50-mile-per-hour gusts along the coast. light rain right now. a little stead ier over the east end and southern ocean county. the steadiest rain tomorrow morning will be along the coast then it gets heavier in the afternoon. there is more rain coming in from the south. the big time focus is coming in from the carolinas. notice the

lighter rain along the coast in the early hours. drizzle around and still damp. then later in the day the rain is getting heavier, not a pretty evening commute. it's windy, raw, nasty. the rain will come inland during the overnight and then the rain gets lighter on not heavy rain, the concern on saturday will be some of the moderate coastal flooding rainfall totals, we'll average around an inch, some spots getting an inch our ground can handle that. minor street that shouldn't be major. look at these computer forecast model amounts down south. nearly 27 inches in and around the charleston area. that's not joaquin coming on shore. that's just tropical rains. for us with the winds, that really cranks during the afternoon hours in to the day on saturday. north and west will be 30 to 40-mile-per-hour winds. the strongest at the coast was 6 to 10-foot waves. minor coastal flooding tomorrow then moderate as we go in to the upcoming weekend. here's joaquin right now. it's just terrible it's

moving so slowly across the bahamas. this is called long island here in the bahamas and this is crooked island. just getting battered over and over. winds of 130 miles per hour. here's the difference in the track. moving north tomorrow it has to make that move then starts to go northeast as a cat 4 and slowly weakens. look at this track now. that's 400 miles the center of the cone from new york city and passing to our east on monday night. that would mean some high wave action, still some coastal flooding but probably not even any rain. the only concern is the longer this hangs down there and if it doesn't make that north erly move during the day tomorrow, still the outlier chance it could go to the carolinas or midatlantic. right now overwhelming that this is likely going to stay out to sea. your accuweather forecast. windy and chilly. rain in the area tomorrow but it's lighter, maybe even dry north and west. rain is getting steadier through the day. it's a nor'easter type day. not your classic nor'easter but that's the type of impact. gusty northeast

wind. coastal street flooding. coastal could be moderate. i took the rain out of sunday based on the new track. i'm not going to put the sun on there just yet. we'll get sun early next week. obviously there were a lot of changes overnight that bill evans had his hands on this morning. he'll be with you again if anything changes. >> you were at 4:00 in the morning checking those models. >> get ready for that again. >> thanks, lee. up next, more and more teens doing something on their

sobreviv a two-year drought for the yankees now over. >> it's the quickest and easiest scenario for the yankees to snag a playoff spot tonight. win. beat the red sox and clinch that wildcard. trying to avoid getting swept in this one, the yankees were swinging in the rain. 2nd inning, carlos beltran, solo shot. right center field. yankees take the lead. 7th inning, the lead was 2-1. make it 3-1 when greg bird knocks one out.

they muscle their way through this one. yankees win the game 4-1. here is the final out. it's a strikeout and that's it. they're back in the playoffs after a couple years away. 2012 the last playoff appearance and american league wildcard game next tuesday, most likely at home. we'll see. it was a celebration on the field and then they took it in to the clubhouse. win tonight was number 10,000 in the history of the yankees. a nice round number to get in to the postseason. they'd like 12 more wups -- once the playoffs start. get the shamp champagne --the champagne washed out of the uniforms. been a couple years since we've seen this scene but we've seen it tonight. >> we've played for each other, not for personal statistics. >> after everything that we have gone through as a team, being able to made it to the wildcard game is special. >> they're on their way.

to the mets. robles suspended three games for a pitch that came too close to a batter's head in philadelphia. they play again in front of a sparse cloud. it was chilly. mets rookie pitch er sean gill martin made his first career start. didn't give up a hit till the 4th inning. darren ruff smacked a two-run home run. they rested most of the regulars. they get swept in three straight by the phillies. week 4 in the nfl has the giants visiting buffalo sunday without victor cruz. he's been officially ruled out of the game after aggravating his calf again this week. mccoy and watkins are out of the game as well. practice for big blue today, all about taking the sack down the road. trying to even the record at 2-2 and do it once again without victor cruz. >> get him back in rehab, get him back to work and see when we can get him back on the field. >> right now whatever he needs to do to get back and recover, we're all behind him and definitely looking to whenever he does return.
