trouble in the atlantic. >> two hurricanes trigger anxiety and a whole lot of questions about what impact will be felt right here at home. >> hurricane jose swirling off the east coast generating dangerous rip currents along the virginia and maryland shorelines. >> maria has churned into a major storm spelling more catastrophe for the caribbean despite preparations are underway in puerto rico where many people are still without power after irma. >> chief meteorologist doug kammerer leads our storm team coverage. doug, what do we have, a hurricane conveyor belt here? >> yeah, pretty much, leon. this is still peak hurricane season and we've seen these storms come one after another. unfortunately they continue to, to obtain major hurricane status. that's when we're looking at with maria. >> we've been watching this all weekend. you left me a note saturday morning. we're going to be watchingatchi next week because the impact four, five days out we're not sure. we have to see where she goes and we have jose. >> there's jose jt

coast. it is a minimal hurricane. winds at 75 miles an hour. look how broad it is. it is actually becoming extra tropical. here's a cold front associated with it. it will provide winds even in our area beaches, we have tropical storm warnings to watch out for. right now we'll be watching this one heading to boston. we'll track that in a second. we have maria and lee. lee just a tropical depression. not doing too much at all. but this one will be a very big problem. this is maria and you see the eye that's just come open over the last few hours. that tells you that this storm is strengthening rapidly and is now a category 3 major hurricane with winds of 125 miles an hour. the very sad part of this is this is where irma hit, the top portion of the island. and maria is forecast to hit on the southern portion of that track of islands. so, the u.s. virgin islands, st. croix that did not get hit, puerto rico which

direct hit but was still impacted by irma may in fact take a direct hit from maria. this is going to be a very dangerous situation and one that is already beginning as they are already seeing tropical storm and hurricane force winds in the islands around the dominic area. we'll talk more about both of these storms jose and maria and the potential impact here. we'll talk about that in 10 to 15 minutes. >> all right. the hits keep oncoming unfortunately. >> yeah, those islands, some of those islands may even be years recovering from irma and now they're going to get hit again. amazing the >> now to a story that was first on 4, a woman violated at a local massage parlor. >> news 4 mark segraves broke the story on twitter this afternoon. outside the tinnily opportunity where this allegedly happened. mark, what did happen here? >> reporter: yeah, good afternoon, leon. as you say, this is when people are really at their most vulnerable, when they are disrobed on a table at a massage therapist. it happened sunday afternoon at massage envy on wisconsin avenue

inappropriately touched a woman who lived there. the suspect got away and police are working on a description, but they also want to warn people about leaving the windows open, even though the weather might warrant it. >> people are more likely to have windows and doors unlocked and things, but ultimately having those doors shut or some sort of other way to prevent them from gaining access, i know a lot of windows will have the little burglary locks on them so they can only open maybe a couple inches, things like that. >> reporter: now, police are also asking anyone who might have seen anything to get in touch with them. they're hoping that the public can help because they don't even know which way the suspect went after he left the home. and prince george's county police tell us they will come out and do a security assessment of your home for no cost. you make an appointment and they can tell you about those weak and vulnerable spots. meanwhile the folks who live here, whether they're students or not being extra vigilant light of what happened this weekend. live

together and do possibly a little dance off the east coast which may come in. they may both stay out to sea. we may see jose come in, maria hit parts of the southeast. there are a lot of questions with this. this is a situation we don't see very often when we have these two storms that are going to intersect. >> it sounds like maria is hitting all -- may hit all of the islands that irma missed. >> exactly right. we could seemaery a right here. maria becoming an extremely strong storm now. you can see the eye that has just over the last two hours come into shape and really cleared out. any time you see a clear defined eye like you are seeing right there, that means you have a strengthening storm and that means that you have a major hurricane, most of the time when you see that eye and all of the red surrounding it, this is maria. these are the islands here. you have martinique right here, dough minute ka, and you have guadalupe. these islands were not hit by irma. these were the islands up to the north that were hit by irma. this storm expected to stay to the south now, winds at

miles an hour. take a look at the track, 125 mile an hour winds. it is still strengthening. moving to the west, northwest at ten miles an hour, it is expected to come on shore tonight in and around the dominic a area. and make its way up towards the u.s. virgin islands. here's where st. thomas and saint john, st. martin. these were mitt extremely hard by irma. saint crew dodged a bullet by irma but it will get the worst of hurricane maria. winds of 150 miles an hour it is expected to be a category 4, very high end category 4 storm. if you remember puerto rico saw the weak side of irma. it will see the strong side of hurricane maria here and that will be during the day on wednesday. 150 mile an hour winds coming right into parts of san juan -- right into southern portions of puerto rico. san juan on the north side. they are still going to get incredible wind. if you remember, it also hit the

thank you, a turks and caicos. this is expected to be category 150 mile an hour winds. this is another round of maria. we will be tracking closely. we start with maria. that is not the one closest to our area because that is the one that is going to cause the most damage. here is jose. you can see a very large storm now. less than a hurricane. really kind of extra tropical. what i mean by that is normally you see a hurricane and it's right in here, that's it. notice all of this out here. this is becoming very wide so the tropical storm force winds are now extending way out from the storm. they are going to hit boston, they are going to hit our area around the delaware area. because of that tropical storm warnings are already in place for parts of devlaware up to th north. where is this storm going? that's a tough one. it is not moving fast. right now it has winds 75 miles an hour, winds 9 miles an hour. moves to boston as a 75 mile an

hour tropical storm. they'll get 50, 60 winds at the cape. that will cause problems. surf problems, tidal flooding most likely from that. jose kind of meanders and kind of sits here and we're talking nearly a week away, it's almost in the same spot. that storm could then help to propel maria into our area or out to sea. maria could actually help bring jose back to the coast. a lot of scenarios playing out here. somebody is it telling you they know where these storms are going, trust me, they do not. now, how is jose going to affect us tomorrow? it is going to affect us. notice the clouds. notice which way they're coming from. they're coming from the ocean. we're going to continue to see those clouds moving on in. could see some showers, best chance of clouds and showers. i-95 to the east, to the west i think we do get into sunshine tomorrow. not a bad day out there on our tuesday all in all. temperature wise, we're in the 80s. we are warm. 87 wednesday, 87 on thursday and really all the way through the weekend looking pretty good but we are tracking both jose and maria all the way into next week. >> we're going to be saying those names a lot.

>> reporter: i'm tammy lightener in san juan, puerto rico where people are stocking up, preparing for hurricane maria. now, we have seen people coming and going all day. there's been a constant stream of cars, people stocking up on supplies. schools are closed today. they've been getting water, batteries, generators and one of the biggest concerns here, water. this line, there's been people stocking up all afternoon buying cases of water, filling up water jugs. and i can tell you why water is such a concern here. it's because 6,000 people on this island are still without water after hurricane irma. and now is maria is coming through, panic is setting in and people are extremely concerned. back to you guys. >> all right. well, we're looking at a strong maria and i'm just wondering what's the likelihood maria will, you know, become a cat 5 hurricane? >> guys, it is strengthening extremely fast. we're waitingor

couple minutes. it is a possibility it could become a category 5. not a lot of wind sheer to tear a storm apart. we're really watching these islands. the islands that weren't hit from irma, they could really get pummelled this time. >> we're talking about puerto rico as well. there is not a lot of land to disrupt it. again, it is going to continue to intensify. >> you can see it doing it right here. here's maria, here's puerto rico. up to the north u.s. virgin islands, barbuda is here. let's zoom in here and show you the islands . i want to go further and show you the islands here. what we have here, dominic a right here, this is guadalupe, okay. this is where the storm is expected to come. right through dominic a. dominic a has 75,000 people. most are on the western side here. if there is any good news, good thing there is no big cities on the east side of dominic a, but they s

disastrous blow from the hurricane. now, guadalupe, listen to this stat, okay. nearly half a million people here, that is about half of the population of alaska right here on this little island. just amazing how many people are here. so, this storm is going to have a devastating impact on especially into these islands right here, down towards -- martinique just to the south. they will be on the weak side but they're still going to get hit pretty hard. let's show you the track. this is still the 2:00 advisory. i'm waiting for this to change. i think this is going to strengthen. winds of 125 miles per hour as of the 2:00 advisory making its way as a category 4. this is the latest as 150 mile an hour category 4. now, remember, category 5 is 157 miles per hour so we're very close to that coming in towards puerto rico, which was not hit extremely hard by irma, and they still had three quarters of a million people without power. so, this island is going to get a direct hit from maria most likely.

bahamas, right up towards portions of the eastern united states. where it goes from there, actually depends on jose. let's talk a little bit about jose because it is just off our coast line. lauren, there's actually some tropical storm watches and warnings as jose churns off our coast. >> yes, and we're really watching that because right now it's just off the coast of the carolinas at this point. and it's going to continue to kind of wobble parallel to the east coast. at its closest point here once it passes to parallel the mid-atlantic, it will be at its closest point about 200 miles away. so, again, a tropical storm warning. now, this is what is in red. this goes all the way down through the outer banks up through kill devil hills. grab my clicker. even out towards the maryland beaches. what we're looking at now through tuesday night, large waves, up to 16 feet at their highest. wind gusts over 40 miles an hour. just minor flooding especially in the outer banks.

watch. that goes up through the delaware beaches, all ocean city, maryland. even coming up towards philadelphia, some moderate flooding possible, winds over 45 miles an hour. what i really think is going to be bad is areas out in cape cod into massachusetts where they could actually have some flooding as well so we'll continue to watch that. long island, that is going to pass off the long island coast line. again, this is going to be a storm we'll continue to watch all up and down the east coast. not talking about major flooding in the area, but we are talking about a little bit. switched to your ten-day forecast. go ahead and take it from there. >> that's all right. let's go back and show you the ten-day forecast. we'll continue to watch this storm moving in. jose will not have a direct impact on us, but indirectly tomorrow we have a chance of showers in our eastern zone. if you live in southern maryland, live along the chesapeake bay, especially towards the eastern shore, you can expect to see a couple showers to the west especially west of the blue ridge. you'll see sunshine tomorrow but it will be a bit breezy. 87 on wednesday and thursday and right now the weekend looks pretty good. gu

enough. this is a situation where we're going to be tracking now for upwards of a week, maybe longer as maria makes its way through the islands and eventually into the open waters of the atlantic. how it interacts with jose, we really do not know at this point. so, we're continuing to keep you posted it. could stay out to sea for the u.s., could come inland. we'll have a lot to talk about, we'll be here several days in the storm center. >> a tricky dance. >> when is the last time you saw three cat 5s in a month? >> in a month, leon, that's a good question. 2005 we did have those cat 5s. we had wilma, we had katrina, and we had rita. have to see exactly within what time span we had them, but those three storms caused a lot of damage in the u.s. all three hit the u.s. at one point. >> amazing. >> don't want to see it engo. thank you, doug. >> thanks, doug. >> a convicted rapist causes a wild scene at a local airport. >> jim and wendy standing by in the newsroom. working on this for 5:00. >> this is a story ye

ya as college students get adjusted to new routines, there were some renewed concerns about hazing in america. the majority of people in today's nbc news survey monkey poll say they don't think hazing is acceptable. another 11% say it can foster camaraderie, however. nbc's kristin dahlgren is looking into hazing in america. kristin, what have you found, negative press having an impact at all? >> reporter: hey there, leon. we just heard about another potential hazing death at lsu. investigators are looking into that. there is at least one hazing death per year

since 2010. so, still a big problem. the reason why nbc is trying to shed some light on it tonight. you talked about that survey monkey poll. 75% of people, though, support legislation that they're talking about now, the federal government would require universities to report hazing incidents as part of their crime reports every year. so, widespread report for that. 56% of people told us that they believe hazing can be eliminated. and tonight we'll meet a family that says they've been directly affected by this. their son was a student at penn state altuna. they say he joined a fraternity. went through hazing rituals that they later found out about on his phone after he committed suicide. they are now suing the university as well as the fraternity and several university employees. they say knew about the hazing and didn't notify the family of the psychological distress that it was causing. of course, penn state denieshe

allegations. they say that a grand jury found no criminal wrongdoing in that case. but it just highlights what some families say they are going through with regard to hazing. so, clearly a problem across america and something we're hoping to shed a little more light on tonight. >> interesting. are you seeing what fraternities and sororities say they want? >> they do have new regulations. i talked to one expert who said it is going to come down to say change in culture. that is something a lot of universities are working on. look, these fraternities and sororities do a lot of this ritualistic behavior in order to promote brotherhood, sister hood, and the expert said what they really need to realize is you can do that without putting someone in physical harm, without doing these degrading things to them. and it's really about changing the culture, something we're going to have to be talking a lot more about. >> all right, looking forward to it. nbc's kristin d

you can see kristin's full report on nbc nightly news right after news 4 at 6:00. news 4 at 5:00 starts right now. >> now at 5:00, our hurricane season just got worst. storm team 4 tracking a new one-two punch in the atlantic and the impact that could be felt here. >> plus a massage therapist accused of a dirty deed. news 4 uncovering new details about what went down inside this parlor and how the business is responding. >> shout out to d.c. public schools. here we go. >> and a primetime shout out, how d.c. public schools is using its opportunity in the emmy spotlight. >> well, they're lined up and they are packing a growing punch as we speak, folks. we begin tonight with the latest on those two hurricanes in the atlantic, jose set to batter the east coast. >> and we now have maria with its eye set on the island of puerto rico. it is now a cat

and doug kammerer. what are you seeing out there? >> announcer: now here's storm team 4 forecast. >> guys, you mentioned it is a category 4. that is brand-new. latest advisory from the hurricane center winds of 130 miles per hour right now. you see where the storm is, making its way very close to the islands and i just talked about these islands about 15 minutes ago. this is dominica right here. this right here is guadalupe. guadalupe half a million people. dominica less than that. these two will see the worst of the storm. close to puerto rico, maybe a direct hit to puerto rico. this is a situation that is dire, just as much so as irma was for the islands to the north. the islands to the north will get hit again. i'm talking barbuda, i'm talking the u.s. virgin islands. but the eye of the storm may stay just to their south around possibly even st. croix, an island that missed for the most part irma. but this is a storm system we're going to continue to watch. maria a very strong powerful
