cold cloud top indicates the storm to intensify. there has been a change to the watches and warnings. because it is so big and likely come along the east coast. >> there could be wind gusts around tampa bay as the storm goes by even from the southwest behind it that could be stronger than 39 miles an hour. a watch not a warning. >> and because on the east coast >> and on land and wind speeds between 120 and 140 miles an hour on the coast. the worst-case scenario is the

coast. >> as of 5:00 22.5 north and 75 west a category 3 and cause problems and the and can you see the track pretty much scrapes the east coast. >> and at shift will be a difference for the coast. if ts or the center is on the coast line they will experience the winds 1:15 to 1 -- 115 to 125 from stuart along 95 and a 1

northeast wind huge damage. if it shifts off the coast it is awful but it is better. if it goes to the west 50 miles more population dealing with the winds. literally are you talking 5, 10, 15-mile shift will make all the difference in the world and then, you know the parallels the coast up by charleston. i posted last night are you buzzing about this -- you're buzzing about this. and a the gfs doing a swing and coming back. let's not worry about that today. it is eight days down the road and quite often eight days later it will get us. it probably won't. it is sitting out here and moving away. don't concern it with the storm

about the loss of life in the short term, that's the big issue. it is looking at the potential of turning here monday at 2:00 will it got go here and hit us, probably not. it is not impossible and the european run this afternoon sits it here and shoots it northea and back out to sea. we'll worry about that next let's worry about the potential loss of life that's how bad it could be along the east coast. models along the coast. they are just off the coast. and don't worry. they are not very good. i don't think the storm will cut across the state and head for florida and back out to see and spins here.

it extends arcs back over us that's why it is shifting to the west. >> let's talk about the potential. su95 in daytona and not we live through that with hermine. we'll say our prayers on the east coast dealing with 76, 95, 123 earlier in vero will they verify, that's a expire model if the shift is here it is a 50 and this a 60.

this is a sense of how things could play out in the next 24 to 36 hours. here is another look at the speeds as the storm goes up the coast. 100 in vero 90 in saint cloud and our winds will be west southwest at 22. and we had live in this town and that con. here you go, you know the gusts in polk and highlands could be 40 and 60. rain will not be a big deal the problem is back over here so 40 to 60 and gusts we'll go 30 to

and every person will know that there is a hurricane east of us. we can manage with this. will there be outages? yes you knock down a tree and the good news we had winds this strong so a lot of stuff that was going to fall we have done that. it could be sporadic and 34 the potential get 80 and 90 along the coast. and it is a lot to digest. every moment counts. we'll fine tune the forecast for the the east coast. we'll see you at 5:15. we have closings to tell you about, polk and highland county schools closed tomorrow and friday.

nothing bad. and stray showers we have the graphic. and blue now and winds are possible. a warning means we're expecting it to happen. and the biggest threat of the counties and the force winds and the big problems as we talked about over and over is along the east coast where a warning is now up, and slows and and. 85 to 87.

and. close to the east coast and we'll harp on this over and over a very shift. anything further out it's not too bad. farther inland and bad for everyone along the coast. notice the zone. i feel >> and it is good. it is the intensity and you know i think this is going to come close to verifying and just is not a good situation. and if we do the weather what i say now to our folks you know watching along the coast, this is just leave if the forecast

or here. it's not that bad. mments say paul you blew it, you got it wrong, better to be safe you don't want to ride out a forecast at 3 in the morning with 125 miles per hour winds out. if you are told to leave. just leave. it does not work out. that's the message for the east coast and have to worry about that along the west coast. saturday it wends and the track is uncertain. i would not harp on that loop in the storm coming back the model today and sitting here and let's worry about what the big issue is. the short term issue a ed it is life threatening. here we are. a live view this is the port in nassau cam.

trips, you know how you come in here here, the ship whether it carnival.caribbean or disney or you docke are no boats they are getting ready in nassau ing o nity4 hit. we'll have the camera going for a while and get better views of a howling that's the scene. you have seen this before outside of the ship. we'll be watching this with interest. here is the forecast now for tonight. 77 now the wind will pick up and be breezy. off and on showers from the the east.
