the lights are back on and maybe even more importantly, the a.c. is coming back, too. schools are also setting dates to reopen. florida's post irma recovery is starting to pickup speed, but new cases of carbon monoxide poisoning from portable generators prove the danger isn't over yet. fewer than 2 million people are still in the dark. crews say it could take weeks to restore power to the most remote parts of the state. >> a week ago, the caribbean was feeling irma's wrath. clean up on the islands is much slower than in florida. new video here shows dutch soldiers handing out food and water to victims in devastated st. martin. all this comes as another storm intensifies. chief meteorologist doug kammerer is working for you tonight tracking hurricane jose's path and potential impact on our area. doug? >> yeah and i do think it will have a little impact on our region, but a

parts of the northeast the next couple of days. let's get right to it and show you where jose is right now. if you're just looking at this map, not sure where the storm is going, it's pretty imposing right off the florida coast line. you see it just to the east of miami here and just to the east of the bahamas, just providing some high surf for parts of those areas. that is jose, current winds of 75 miles an hour, a very weak hurricane. but it is expected to pickup in intensity. then we move down into the open waters of the atlantic to the central atlantic. one and two systems. one of which already became a tropical depression number 14. this one here expected to strengthen into a depression or a possible tropical storm over the next 48 hours. so, we could see both lee and maria form over the next 48 hours. this storm right here is the one i'm worried about. this one should strengthen and it does look like it will head very close to the island so that's something we're going to be tracking for you the next couple of days. let's track jose and show you where it will be going. now, as far as the impacts for us, they will be

probably won't even notice we have a hurricane off the coast. right now winds at 75 miles an hour moving northwest at ten miles per hour. pressure down to 993 millibars, it is coming down a little bit. winds off our coast line tuesday, here it is tuesday at around 75 miles per hour, still a minimal hurricane. moving up toward the north as a tropical storm. the computer models all bring this very close to the coast, and notice the cone here very close to the u.s. coast line as well. some of the models bringing it in towards parts of new york, some towards boston. this will not be a big storm but it will have lingering influence here that is not going to be moving all that much. once it gets up to the boston area it kind of sits and meanders. some of the mod elsz have it going back out and coming back in as another storm. again, we are going to be tracking this very closely the next few days. our weather a lot calmer. we do have some clouds and sunshine as well. temperature at 80 degrees. nice night, winds out of the south at 6 miles per hour. 77 inti

we're back now with a deeper look at this week in politics. >> and while there may be a new trend emerge, we are also seeing the return of some old habits. president trump responded to the terror attack in london today with a tweet that slammed scotlaar

british public. >> on the other hand he appears to be testing a new approach without reach to leaders in the opposing party at the possible risk of alienating some of his key allies. >> meanwhile the virginia governor's race is becoming the center of a pitched political battle with deep pocket spending from republican and democratic groups. >> nbc's political director and moderator of meet the press chuck todd joins us. chuck, we have grown accustomed to outrageous tweets from the president. but this time he's getting alienating the leader and the citizens of one of our closest allies. >> a little extra back story we have to remember. the last terror attack in the u.k., the one that -- where a van plowed through people on the bridge. the british government got really mad because they thought the u.s. government was leaking too much intelligence to the media. so, there is already a issue betw a

issue. i think the president's tweet sort of just re-ignited that concern. now, the president, look, he's done this before. he jumped on it fast. is it based on intelligence that he got, or was he speculating, right? and that's the problem. private citizen trump, he's private citizen trump. but this is leader of the free world trump. that also added to the consternation. let's also remember president trump is not popular in the u.k. either so any time they can jump on him, perhaps some will. >> meanwhile back here in washington the president's outreach to democrats, some success there, but he's alienating a lot of republicans including his base. how does he handle that challenge, chuck? >> he's being the predictable guy he ran as. he's playing to type. every time you think you know where he's going, zig, zig, zig, he zags. i think there is some of this. he wanted to get control of his

he felt as if it all got outsourced to congressional republican leadership and nothing was getting done. they will say the president has -- didn't work hard enough to help them so there is a little bit of warning shot there. what's interesting is that no one seems -- there is still sort of a trust but verify aspect. democrats are flirting because they want it get undaca done but they're not sure what to make of it. republicans would like to see daca put in the rearview mirror. that's why they're not grumbling as much as you might think. the question i have is who has got a better hold of the base, rush limbaugh and laura ingram, or donald trump? and i think the loud voices are giving him grief, but i'm not convinced that his voters are going to give him this grief that maybe limbaugh and ingram are. >> and another part of the problem is nobody knows where he actually stands because there's all these conflicting versions of him. that's a whole 'nother story. >> he moves to the applause and moves to the spotlight. >> you're busy getting ready for the virginia governor's debate

next week. >> race of 2017. it is. not the only one but it is the premiere. >> why are political groups putting so much money into this virginia race? he >> look, is virginia still a swing state or not, is it a light blue state or is it truly swing? i think how republicans are going to look to the virginia governor's race to see does donald trump truly motivate democrats? will that happen? i think democrats are wanting to see is trump enough, or do they need to find other issues to do so. i think that's why you're seeing so much money being spent, is that here's virginia, it's still i think a swing state. certainly is not a comfortable trump state, but certainly a swing state that maybe leans slightly to the left. there's just both parties want to find out what's going to work and what's not in 2018. and i think both gillespie and northam are sort of in some ways guinea pigs for the two parties. >> real quick, sunday you're going to have a

devastation down in the caribbean firsthand. >> went to the virgin islands, was already scheduled to interview michael bloomberg. he said he was going down there to deliver some humanitarian supplies. i tagged along. it's hard to put into words the devastation. i had my own flash backs after andrew. ten days after irma hit the virgin islands it still looked like it just happened yesterday. it was in some ways that dramatic. the pictures -- >> so few pictures out of st. thomas and saint john. >> we have a lot of pictures, a lot of stories we're telling. it's not just mike bloomberg i talked to. a lot of residents i talked to. they're remarkably patient. it's hard for us to hurry up and help them, but these are american citizens. >> we can see what you saw coming up on sunday morning, meet the press, 10:30 here on nbc 4. >> also senators. >> meet the press. >> all right. >> still ahead, back to the breaking news
