chad myers has been following all four of these situations for us today and is joining us now. do me a favor, start with claudette because i found it interesting that a storm would suddenly develop in the gulf of mexico and suddenly create a threat for the people in florida when they're actually looking elsewhere. >> the water was so warm and still is. this can happen all the time in the gulf of mexico. it's a very tiny little thing. we didn't get winds over about 45 miles per hour with this storm, and most of the convection is still offshore, although there is rain coming in to parts of northern florida, alabama and georgia. this is not going to be a big event. i really don't think we will get a lot of flooding with this. i think we have other things to worry about, ana, the next one here. there's puerto rico right there. the forecast, the hurricane forecast center is for this thing to be a 35 mile per hour storm and not to worry about it. i'm not sure i'm buying that just yet. bill is a monster storm. this could be a category 3 or 4 storm, out here in the middle of the atlant

chad myers is tracking the big storm in the cnn severe weather center.ey, chad. >> you know, kyra, we know two to three days out which way this thing's going, but people expect -- people expect -- the ten-day forecast to be accurate. and literally the hurricane center will tell you, after five days we could be 300 miles west or 300 miles to the right. that's why we put this in a cone in the first place. and stop looking at the line that is out there and begin to look at the cone. there's 105-mile-per-hour winds, 2 125-mile-per-hour gusts. the eye got smaller for a while and now it's bigger again. think about an ice skater who has her arms in or out. if the arms are out, and the eye is bigger, the storm doesn't go as fast. arms are in, the figure skater goes very, very fast in a big circle. well, these circles could be larger later on in the forecast. category 3, and, in fact, even some models taking it up to nearly a category 4 hurricane strength over 130 miles per hour. we'll have to see. i know you were just mentioning this about cuba, so i'll take you
