it will be heading for the carolinas by this afternoon. 50 mile-an-hour winds but it continues to weaken. flooding rains expected for georgia, south carolina, north carolina. the track, you can see it looks like it's heading offshore and it will be. but it's expected to stall and it could spend days off the east coast which will impact us beyondç the holiday weekend. and the impacts you'll feel, you'll feel them more and more as we go into the holiday weekend. the winds, rough seas and rip currents will be strong. we could see rain. not today. we are in the clear this morning. 59 degrees in the lehigh valley. the suburbs are 55 degrees, 60 degrees right now in philadelphia. there are some cool spots, germantown just down to 61 along with andorra, somerton is 62 degrees. low 80s this afternoon. as you can see with the seven day scrolling at the bottom of the screen, big changes ahead for the holiday weekend. i'll go through it hour by hour when i'm back in a few minutes. first, jessica boyington with your first alert traffic. >> mayfair, there was a hit and run accident reported on the 5800 block of frankford avenue. that's frankford and cheltenham avenue

is still pretty strong and now we're watching the rain that is just moving up through south carolina and north carolina and one i think that is concerning to me is that forward the speed a little bit and it has been pouring in north carolina and south carolina and georgia for a while now. so that will be a flooding concern we're as dry let's not forget, right now today and tonight, it is gorgeous outside. so soak it in and enjoy it. so latest information this is an upgrade. we had tropical storm watches in place for the maryland coastline down through the outer banks. that has been upgraded to a warning. and what is the difference? watch out. this could happen. a warning is saying, yes, this is going to happen. and tropical storm conditions are likely if not eminent for the areas from smith point to ocean city and the maryland beach and virginia beach as well. so the beach-goers beware. we know we'll see some impacts here from hermine. and melissa has been in ocean city all weekend long tracking what could happen in the shore region. >> reporter: the holiday weekend in ocean city, so far off to a quiet

but i do not expect a lot of damage in eastern north carolina and south carolina. s go down and stuff like that but there won't be widespread damage. i'm really getting more concerned what happens as this storm, it's weak exiting north carolina then re-energizes itself. it's almost going to be like the equivalent of a nor'easter sitting off the mid-atlantic coastline for four to five days. sunday to wednesday. i mean when you get a stalled out storm nothing good can happen of it. the winds remain consistent. the water piles up on the coast. every high tide cycle the beach erosion is going to get worse and worse. so there's major concerns for all the coastal areas from the norfolk, roanoke, rapids area famous for their flooding. you're very concerned there. all the back water bays and chesapeake back up through especially new york new york city could sit in a horrible spot with a storm to your south, east wind piling up water to the long island sound. we could have major flooding. i mean we could see water levels rise five feet higher than they normally should be. th

if you are in south carolina or north carolina, most of that rain displays to the east. the storm is going to hang out in the next few days until moisture will get pulled back in there. for us, it is quiet. so far, a couple of offshore showers. we'll keep tracking those. they eventually will. i just don't think they will be here. we'll be in good shape for the remainder of the morning. by 9:00, 10:00, during the 9:00 hour, we should be able to track showers here. then eventually, we'll turn into thunderstorms. again, the coverage is not all that impressive. it's just the tropical air mass will have the potential. nothing severe. here's julia. this organized depression is no longer an organized tropical storm. over the islands is storm karl. that is the forecast as it heads west. look at the forecast. this is by tuesday early morning, 45 mile-per-hour winds. still minimal tropical storm as it approaches the lesser antilles. it will be a big rain event. we'll see if it tries to get better organized. upper 80s this afternoon will feel like 95-plus. it's quite humid as you w

north-northeast at 14 miles per hour. as it makes landfall around the midnight hour just to the east of apalachicola, it will then skirt into southern parts of georgia and south carolina and north carolinaorning at 2:00 a.m. as it weakens from wins near 80 miles per hour to 50 miles per hour and then it emerges out over the open waters over the weekend off cape hatteras, notice the winds start to increase again to near 60 miles per hour as it drifts and stalls just off of our coastline, sunday, monday, tuesday, high pressure is to the north not letting this kick out. we'll talk about what this means for the shore and city coming up in the full accuweather forecast. and for your weekend guys in just a little bit. >> thank you. residents along florida's northern gulf coast and georgia are making the last minute preparations while she can. they have rushed to hardware stores to cover windows and power companies are getting trucks into place so when electricity is knocked out they can tackle the problems. >> nora muchanic is live in seaside park tonight. >> how are they preparing for the possible arrival there. >> reporter: hey there, they haven't really started moving garbage cans or equip

carolina. south carolina is next. and then north carolina. as that storm tries to emerge back into the ocean off the coast of north carolina, however we aren't going to see it just that's because we're into the this blocking pattern now. high pressure keeps the storm in place to the south of us for a couple of few days. we might feel the effects of this for more than one, two, maybe even three days. here's the cone that's issued by the national hurricane center. nhc and it has the storm becoming a post tropical cyclone as it stalls out near the mid atlantic state. look how long it stays here. by the time we're into wednesday it's to the south of us. we're getting some of those so we'll have to talk about just how strong the winds are that we're expecting as well as just how much rain could be on the way. that's to come in the extended forecast in just a bit. >>> be sure to stay with 7news on air and online for the latest on this tropical storm's track. you can trek our interactive radar as well by downloading the mobile app. time now for fast

could be a later landfall but you'll notice, we're watching this all across georgia, south carolina, north carolinaby saturday morning so we have a ways to go, and then, trish, look at this. the storm really stalls out. looks like it's going to get struck here across off the shore of new jersey, south of long island. that's sunday night's poise, and going into tuesday it has not moved much. so it will look to meander, maybe not as a tropical storm but as a big wind and weathermaker here for a lot of the people on the eastern sea board. so this is the last unofficial weekend of the summer so many people want to be outside. >> they do. >> don't go in the water. it's not good up and down the eastern seaboard. a lot of rip currents and we see a lot of fatilities from that every year. it's dangerous. >> thank you. hurricane herm afternoon is expected to -- hermine is expected to slam the florida coast today but if joe is right this is -- is it another 2005. >> not 2005 but a preseason forecast said it was the eastern part of the united states and gulf of mexico we were expecting higher activity this yea

we have all of the southeastern states, georgia, south carolina, north carolina, dealing with this friday, into saturday, and then we have a different kind of scenario on our hands. we're not exactly sure what kind of a structure this storm will hold. and what kind of interaction it has with land and other storm systems we're watching out of the west. this right here is sunday at 8:00 a.m. a storm right here off of the jersey shore. and take a look at that. tuesday at 8:00 a.m. two tase here and we're watching the storm in this same so spot. when this track turns into a ball because we don't exactly know what is going to happen and the models indicate it getting blocked. so you have high pressure to the north and east and the storm can't go anywhere, and we might watch this storm kind of drift here or circle back and forth right here across -- off the shore here of the northeast and the mid-atlantic. the waters here are really warm. waters well over 70 degrees and it's going too be very close to the gulf stream here which has water temperatures warmer than that. so a struggle system acros

but for now, flooding into georgia, parts of south carolina, north carolina, and wind at about 50 miles per hour. you saturate the roots of the trees and all of a sudden you blow them over. that's going to take down more power lines. even by late tonight. it is still only to about myrtle beach or so. but then it goes over cape hatteras and gets back into the ocean right there. now it is only a 45-mile-per-hour storm at that point. right now it is down to 60. but as it just sits there and gains more strength, it could sit for three solid days because of a high pressure to the north. not going to let it move any farther away. typically they just skedaddle out into the atlantic ocean. this is not going to allow it. the high says -- not so fast. so monday, tuesday, wednesday we could see wind gusts if it is close enough, 40, 50, 60 miles per hour in every coastal community that wants to have a labor day weekend. doesn't look good right now. >> chad meyers, thanks so much. i'll be right back. hillary clinton: i'm hillary clinton and i approve this message. vo: in times of crisis america depe

. >>> well, aside from -- a flight from boston to houston was diverted to south carolina, north carolina this morning. >> there was a medical emergency on board and the aircraft was also experiencing severe turbulence. the plane landinged in charlotte just after 12:30. it was scheduled to arrive in houston shortly after 1:00. >>> a field trip for a group of new jersey sixth graders was cut short after bed bugs were found at a camp site they were attending many more than 100 sixth graders came from for a four day environmental camp. the facility found bed bugs early. they have been doing this trip for years this is the first time they've had issues. >>> an explosion rocked a lightning plant in taunton this morning -- lighting plant in taunton this morning. they tell us that a large circuit breaker exploded and caught fire. taunton firefighters are investigating what caused the explosion. >>> no injuries after this truck hit an overhang in leicester this afternoon. police tweeted this picture they tell us that the overhang is part medical facility. >>> a belmont man was arraigned on drunk

then it pulls on shore and a lot of rain in store for georgia, south carolina, north carolina, and potentially across parts of the northeast. ly tell you, i think areas like tallahassee could be looking at major tree damage and a lot of power outages, as i think we'll see probably the center of the storm go over the city. winds gusting to 80, 85 miles per hour in tallahassee. that would be something they haven't seen in many, many years. we'll watch this storm move across the carolinas over the next couple of days. and then, doug, big concerns. by sunday into monday, everything gets blocked in the atmosphere and this storm stays out here. somewhere off of the jersey shore, somewhere south of long island, whatever it is, we might have a three to five-day period of this storm sitting out here. maybe a tropical storm. maybe more kind of a nor'eastery kind of storm. but nonetheless, number of days here are bringing a lot of water across the jersey shore. a lot of these beaches battered by sandy, and a lot of people taking advantages of the beaches rebuilt from that. now the last weekend of summer,

and it continues to dump tons of rain over georgia, south carolina and north carolina. and here's where it sits right now, over north carolina. as you see, it is getting a little rotation temperature may come back and reform. a tropical storm, maybe a hurricane, and just hang around over here. and look how the storms are continuing over the northern florida panhandle. flood that is pushing down. and just gonna keep it stalled out there. that's not good news for those folks on the coast. high pressure here, that pumped up some moisture in our area. we saw some showers and thunderstorms, and very heavy storms early today. confirmed tornado west of yuma at 4:05 this afternoon. and we have tobs of flash flood warnings continuing. we have all this rain, from an inch and a half to 4.5 inches of rain. those flood warnings continue until after midnight. the doppler 4,000, all the storms pushed off to the east or died down. in a couple of mountain showers and storms saturday. a few scattered over northeastern colorado. sunday we're dry. right into monday, not a cloud in the sky.

that, that means we'll continue to track that front along the eastern, georgia line, south carolina and north carolina. back at home if you are thinking about heading out on the water tomorrow, looks fantastic. don't forget the sunscreen, waves less than 2 feet. so again tonight looks good. tonight looks better. by saturday we see the rain also the thunderstorms. temperaturessi from the north. so grab the light jacket before you run out the door if you are on your dinner break. we are nice and dry right now, compliments of that high pressure center off towards east. on the west end of the high pressure center is where we get the south to north flow of air helping to bring up the nice floridian heat. here is what is on the way by this upcoming weekend, can you see where we are tracking the area of low pressure with the cold front. the cold front to make its way eastbound eventually here to northeast ohio and it's the cold front which will serve as the triggering mechanism for scattered showers and thunderstorms on sunday. looking tonight, looking fantastic. two thumbs up. first thing tomorrow morning l

eastern seaboard affecting the friends and neighbors down towards not only georgia but south carolina and north carolina and rainfall potentials between 6 and ten inches. starting off your tgif friday. temperatures in the 50s. tomorrow afternoon in the 70s with sunshine. breaking down your day, hey, brown bagging it at lunchtime tomorrow at 72. highs at 74 degrees. current temperatures upper 50s and low 60s and, yes, we too are tracking a couple of the showers that help to cause a couple of raindrops back towards first energy, from brunswick and congress and generally sliding down 71 where showers. i think they fizzle and fade given the fact that high pressure should move on and kind of squeeze out all of the residual moisture out of the atmosphere. here is what it looks like. we will pick it up at midnight and walk you through tomorrow morning. i think we will stay dry and call it partly cloudy. by tomorrow afternoon the clouds fizzle and fade. again, high pressure moving in. clearing out clouds. and nice three day labor day week. russ, for the folks heading out to the 2016 air show, it is going to be

. >> south carolina and north carolina, what do you think? >> i think south carolina is going to be solidly for the republicans and for donald trump. north carolina, i think, is where hillary clinton and barack obama are going to try to make a stand and try to keep that -- or get that back in the blue column and that was a heart break for the obamas last time. i think they are going to try to get it. the demographics in north carolina are very similar now to virginia and president obama won that handily the last time around. >> so we're going to give south carolina to donald trump. and north carolina. even though that could go the democrats way and they feel for confident. but the polls still have trump up. okay. what else? iowa, let's say he's up in iowa. let's say he takes nevada out west. but let's talk democrats here. pennsylvania is a stretch for donald trump, right, chris trial walt. >> we. and the lead there is by points. >> and we'll give that to hillary clinton. and we'll give colorado and new mexico to clinton. >> i was just in denve

the heavy flooding rain you saw in florida, georgia, and south carolina, north carolina not expectedhere. which is kind of a bad thing because we're in a big time drought across the northeast. but that is also kind of letting people's guards down thinking, oh, well, it's not going to hit us. it never was going to directly hit new jersey or anywhere here across the northeast, but the impacts will be felt. you showed that time line here. this storm is actually no longer a tropical storm. it's called post tropical storm hermine. it's forecasted to strengthen back to hurricane strength. over the next 24 to 30 hours. that brings more impacts along the shore. here in atlantic city we can show you what is going on here in the atlantic. it has white caps out there. still a very angry surf. 4 to 6 foot waves out there. these will only continue to grow as we have hermine gain strength. right now it's moving east. away from shore but forecasted to move back toward the jersey shore as we head toward sunday night into monday and perhaps not even moving away until sometime on tuesday. then it star

will happen today, then the path of the storm takes it by tomorrow, through georgia, south carolina, north carolina, affecting virginia saturday, for us, a lot of sun certainty, but most of the effect right now looks like sunday and of course felt worse at the jersey shore, not only with moderate to high risk of rip current, but winds and rain as well. potentially, so, here is your "shorecast" for now. we will continue to watch the situation, with the tropical storm, which is named hermine. 74 degrees in philadelphia, right now, still, going to stay muggy, until we get this cold front out of here. our heatwave, just for the record, was number six, and it lasted six days, started last friday, and went all the way through yesterday. today, we expect to get to 84 degrees. tomorrow, 83 degrees. by saturday, 77, tropical rain factoring in sunday, maybe saturday into sunday, some clearing, possible, on labor day itself. and then, heat, humidity return, just in time to go back to school, guys. >> back to the weather and traffic in seconds. we thought we would slip this kind of cool story in. >> simple act

tropical depression julia still bringing a lot of rain to south carolina, north carolina, georgia, but it is expected to stay there. still got 35-mile an hour winds. so it is actually now a tropical depression. there is the tropical storm in the middle of the atlantic. this is the other tropical depression, it doesn't have a name yet. tropical depression 12. just came off the coast of africa. a lot of the storms begin. now it will make its way across the atlantic ocean. we'll see if it becomes nip threat to lands at allment next name on the list after julia, in case you're wondering, cam, then lisa, matthew, and nicole. see what happens. but september typically the most busy month for tropical activity. so wednesday's high 92 degrees, reached it 4:29 in the morning, in the afternoon, record was 92, and it still is setback in 1995. now, the colds front, that's going to change our weather today, still hasn't come through the area completely, sort of just sitting there, as we mentioned yesterday, hardly any rain with it. we are seeing few areas of green on radar. but not all of that is ma

south carolina.. and north carolina. duke warning customers to start making sure those smartphones, tablets, and laptops are fully charged-- in case the power goes out. "that's where your best source of information is during the storm both from the media and from duke energy." and while the state was busy preparing for the worst... and hoping for the best from hermine... there was no missing the urgency in the voice of north carolina's e-o-c director. - "remember that readiness is an individual responsibilty. they need to have an emergency kit ready to survive for 3 to 5 days. we never know." the state e-o-c is set to go into operation at 1pm tomorrow... and will stay fully- functional until the end of the event. jbrabc11ewn. and people have been sharing lots of pictures and videos on social media using the hashtag hermine... and you can keep track of hermine's path... and keep up warnings as the storm approaches. just download the abc 11 first alert weather app... it's free in the app store and on google play. we're fol

of course the storm hits north carolina and south carolina in its path as it moves north up the east coast. people in charleston, south carolina are gearing for hermine. people are already leaving town. others staying put and preparing for all of the rain that is expected to come. now the storm is expected to be not northeast by saturday where new york and new jersey will be hit. and as for massachusetts and the rest of new england. we are keeping an eye on the wave this is weekend. will have much more on that all morning long. in the control room, i am daniel miller, fox25 news. >>> happening today, 51-year-old babysitter will be in court accused of being high and drunk while watching a 3-year-old boy. fox25's jessica reyes is live in medford where that woman will face a judge, and jess, neighbors called police after they saw some concerning behavior. >> reporter: yeah, gene. they were a little bit worried after they saw her walking around the neighborhood with that little boy, not really paying attention to him. and we know she wille arraigned here in just a little bit this morning

i think then it moves up the eastern seaboard towards south carolina and north carolina. the outer banks certainly going to be feeling the effects and this is what i think is going to be most pivotal. that were wreak havoc on the eastern seaboard causing lots of flooding, unfortunately. back at home, of course, we have first kick here at about 8 p.m. at firstenergy and i think that we'll see temperatures in the upper 60s, low 70s currently in the upper 60s, low 70s right now. we're also tracking a couple of isolated showers let me take you in. evening from, say, ashtabula county, you're seeing it in cuyahoga county. you could see rain during the game. high pressure is forcing even cooler air over a warm lake. that of course leads to that lake-effect isolated shower that we'll see. i think that high pressure slips down towards the southeast. and that means more sunshine for us thank goodness by tomorrow afternoon. and then into the weekend. so here's what it looks like. from now through about midnight, again that isolated shower potential certainly there. i think first thi

it's going to move off the south carolina and north carolina coast. and now karl. karl is a 45 miles per hour and slowly gain some strength and in fact this latest forecast has it becoming a category one hurricane wednesday morning but notice it's starting to move it to the north. we hope it stays out to sea. in the meantime, feels tropical locally. uncomfortable amounts of humidity today. not oppressive. but uncomfortable. and that's going to translate into a typical round of summer afternoon storms, about a 40% on the 8s, i will take you hour- by-hour through your friday. and leslee lacey has the friday morning commute. >>> we have an accident westbound in the plant city area, that's i-4 by the paul buchman highway. everything is off to the side of the roadway. but none theless, a little bit of activity out there. injuries reported with the crash. and let's take a look now at the maps as i zoom in to the plant pasco county, old pasco road closed from state road 52 to overpass road due to construction as well. that's a look at weather and traffic. and now back to

carolinas over the next 24 hours. in fact, our hour by hour forecast shows by this evening, it's in south carolina and north carolina andrting to affect southeastern virginia. this stays to our south during the day today. we have beautiful sunshine. look what happens as we go into saturday morning. the clouds start to arrive. that's 5:00 saturday morning. the rain still heaviest to our south. norfolk and into eastern north carolina get something very heavy rainfall. the forecast track keeps this storm system or takes it offshore and keeps it offshore. it's going to be close enough that we will likely see rain in delaware and south jersey. this was 1:00 saturday afternoon. now, this computer model keeps it a little farther offshore. that will give us occasional showers and very strong, gusty winds possibly to tropical storm force right along the coast for the jersey shore and the delaware beaches. even if the rain, the bulk of the rain stays offshore, the threat will come from the rough seas, the rip currents and from . south jersey, 74 degrees. rain arrives on saturday and a chance of rain continuing into sunday. we cou

carolinas where the storm is. in south carolina, turning just to the north of charleston now, that's where the center of circulation is. you can track it moving to the north of charleston. heavy rain bands, too. extremely heavy rain around columbia, south carolina area. greenville north carolina and south carolina, nothing there. that's how it is going to be. the rain gradient is big around the region. again, here comes the storm making its way up the coast and out to sea. you can see that with the latest advisory from the hurricane center. winds of 50 miles an hour. they have not come down over the last couple hours. winds moving to the northeast at 20 miles per hour. it will stay along the coast. actually, intensifying as it gets off the coast and then where does it go from here? all the computer models off the the area. amelia is here with the impact where you live. >> here in the d.c. meet tmetro area. if you have the umbrella handy, you may need it at times. the majority of the weekend will be dry. showers at time, especially tomorrow morning and midday. rain later in the day sunday. breezy tomorrow, sunday and monday. labor day right now is looking okay. doug, we have been talking about this, frederick, loudoun -- upper 80s labor day, vir

regained tropical storm status although it's going to continue to just move around the south carolina and north carolina coastline for the next couple days. we will keep an eye on it. but for the most part, not much of an issue for us. and then there's karl which bearss at least a little bit of watching. 45miles per hour and it's slowly gaining strength, becoming about a 60 miles per hour storm on sunday. 70miles per hour storm on tuesday evening. it's still a long way away. we will just watch it for sure. now locally, it feels tropical. our humidity is high for this time of the year. it's not oppressive. that's july and august. but it's uncomfortable which will lead to showers, the first few popping up around noon. much better rain chances east evening. at 4:38 in weather and traffic on the 8s, i will have the eight-day temperature trend for you. i know it's early. >>> it is early but it's a nice commute. after a feeling it will change later today but right now, it looks good. on 275, not seeing any delays in hillsborough county. and up to speed on 75 despite the construction here at university parkway
