that is will potentially save lives on our east coast. it's not a zero chance, and so let's hope it does this and curves away. if it doesn't, that is not good, really isn't. daytona east of jacksonville and then that big curve out in the atlantic and we are not really going to worry about that at all, at least in the short term. what they do in tandem, and you see it just goes right off the coast and impacts the entire east coast. this is the problem we have at this point is the european and the gfs model are insisting on a hurricane on the coast and half over the water, and then the storms turn out to sea. my recommendation is this: and i know a lot of you watching me right now have connections to the east coast. maybe yo mother, whatever -- in melbourne or viro or coco, daytona -- let them know. if they are being told to evacuate, tell them to evacuate. you are talking about a category 4 hurricane that could be on shore at night tomorrow mieght. you don't want to be in your house along the coast in an evacuation zone with a category 4 hu

nothing close to what will happen in the east coast but it is a possibility but those are warnings, the reason this watch was issued for the entire area is because the hurricane center notched the track along the coast of florida. that should come as no surprise that is what the models have been saying and what the forecast has been showing, so that should not make any change. this is let's say it goes more to the west than the bay area. that is not the forecast i don't believe it will be the forecast but it is better safe than story in case matthew decides to misbehave and go

the overall heaviest rain will be the east coast the entire heaviest weather will be the east coast, there it is appears to get better organized after the court was ripped up over cuba now it is moving into warm waters of the bahamas it will have the opportunity to re- intensified which is what the hurricane center is forecasting predicting category four. the gfs and euro have been making landfall in 36 hours. the advisory is in the middle coast, winds of 130 of 132 140 miles per hour within 10 to 20 miles from the center wherever the eye is if you are 10 or 15 miles away you will have strong hurricane force winds, for our area the forecast has not changed much in terms of tropical storm force winds, wave heights early friday morning looking at wave heights up to 30 feet offshore, the surge will from the cape north toward jacksonville in terms of the winds this is something to get your attention. these are wind gusts, by lunchtime friday this particular computer model is predicting wind gusts at 95 miles per hour, daytona, titusville 95 miles per hour, that is where the center or the

been through this a lot of times, if you have family or friends or kids who go to school on the east coast you want them to get home. if that happens it has to otherwise it is too late. in terms of hurricane probability, notice the hurricane force winds right along the coast. that is the way it will play out, orlando or under hurricane warning winds of 80 to 90 miles per hour on friday, saturday it will pull away taking the weather with it, this is the probability of tropical storm force winds, this is the and match it up with the percentage of a probability you will have tropical storm force winds in your neighborhood. let's pick tampa, a 40% chance that you will have winds of 40 to 55 miles per hour in your area. it is less than a 50-50 chance. if you live to the east obviously much higher there will be tropical storm force winds in polk. things could happen is tropics maybe it will weaken a little bit maybe it turns it is possible. this track in my opinion seems likely to play out along the east coast give or take 30 miles in either direction and again if the eye makes it to i- 95, thes

you hate to see that on the east coast, and during the day on friday, the storm goes up the east coast and by saturday it should be gone. today we had the first sign that there is a hurricane to the southeast of us. you start to see the clouds you know, start moving along, and tomorrow when you are outside, you will notice -- watch the clouds tomorrow, they will move northeast to southwest and they the outskirts of the hurricane. even late today clouds were starting to move in that direction from northeast to southwest overhead. and that is also being picked up by our live wind data. notice the arrows kind of have more oomph, a kind of a flow from the northeast. all of that is being picked up by -- i was going to say the outer bands overall flow of matthew. down to the southeast. we did have rain today that was moving along, and now there is rain in northern pinellas county. not a big deal but here is some over palm harbor and over the county lynn in hillsboro. again, it's moving along and that is a sign that there is a developing hurricane to our southeast. right now temperatures are

short-term, brings the storm towards the east coast, very close to the east coast, in fact, but then watch this. the models are beginning to turn the storm back around again in a big loop. and i know what you're thinking. you're thinking, that's a joke. no. it really isn't. what they're indicating is that this trough of low pressure that was expected to pick the storm northeast is going to be too weak to do that and immediately what would happen is a big ridge of high pressure would build over new england and push it back down. so the hurricane center is recognizing and starting to buy into this setup that the models have thrown out the past 12 to 14 hours. here's the clatest. 125 mile-per-hour winds moving north at 10. look how close it comes to the coast. it'say and a 50 mile jog to the west that could easily happen would bring the core of this storm onshore. maybe cape, maybe daytona beach, somewhere in that spot. so then they take it to the north briefly and then start to bring it kind of back around again. they haven't completely bought into the whole loop but i can tell you the

it is the east coast of the state of florida. let's take a look then and see what the numbers are as of 5:00 from the national hurricane center and the position of the storm which is about 65 miles east of guantanamo, cuba. the worst of the storm in this scenario would be on the eastern side of it to the right of the number four there is where the stronger winds would

it's very close to the east coast of florida. you get close to melbourne and then over to satellite beach just north of there, you had winds of hurricane force, but maintained itself just off shore. so it's a little bit of good news here, a little silver lining in the cloud. so far the eye wall has managed to stay off shore, although any wobble could bring that back toward the coastline. and they're still expecting a lot of damage along the florida coastline has the hurricane continues the move northbound through cape cape canaveral. we'll talk about that as "today in new england" starts right now. >> christa: breaking news at 5:00. hurricane matthew taking aim at the florida coast this morning with potentially devastating storm surges and flooding. >> kris: a new advisory is just out. we're tracking the storm's path as millions brace for the driving wind and howling rain. >> christa: and police are investigating a murder mystery in orange. an elderly man killed in his >> kris: young students witnessing a terrible crime in roxbur

to get you oriented, here's the east coast of florida. a is where we have a hurricane warning in effect. here's the center of the storm, forecasted to move right along the coast north of pauch beach, all the way up through the georgia coast and south carolina. and where that center comes ashore is very close to coming ashore we could have devastating immarket, category 4 storm surge of 7 to 11 feet blown ashore by the strong winds. >> when do you think the category 4 could make landfall? >> at had point, it's closing in on the coast but it looks like probably tomorrow morning through again saturday is when the center will ride up right along the coast or perhaps just offshore. so we could have considerable damage all the way up the coast beginning tomorrow. >> is this storm intensifying actually, hard to believe it's a category 4, is it intensifying as it approaches the united states? >> it did intensify today. however, we don't think there will be any further strengthening before the center comes to the shoreline. then there will be gradu

the rainfall potential is certainly impressive on the east coast of florida. we are focusing really on friday. now, for the day. and keeping in mind that the eye wall could pass very close ly to the space coast. we watch the forecast the next couple of days. we see increasing chances of rain, especially inland areas. that is where the flow is being later into the early part of friday. and we watch the movement itself of the hurricane up the east coast. that is the current thinking of the moment. with the tropical situations, if you know, over time, they can evolve and they can change. we will kick our winds up the next couple of days, especially as we head into friday. keep a 40% chance of showers favoring the inland areas. polk county, highlands county, hardy, de soto counties. the greatest chances are inland including higher wind gusts. friday, saturday, drier air moves in on the western si long term, we will see how the storm evolves or doesn't in terms of making the loop. but a lot can happen long term. let's focus on the short term. take the preps now. >>

fall potential over the next several days, and but as we watch hurricane matthew off florida's east coast, the mel burn area could see 4 inches of rain, and heavier rain from polk and highlands county. temperatures upper 80s, and windier wednesday and thursday as matthew passes to the east, and once it is north of us, it will draw in the comfortable 8s, and again, there's a spot of rain around usf, and it was literally like this big on the map. >> fortunately no accidents there either. we have a good drive, and a couple of issues. apollo beach area, a heads up here, and a little to the north here, i'm seeing slowdowns as well. keep that in mind. they don't last very long, but they do last for quite a few blocks. fowler avenue, ramp to northbound i-75, fhp says a disabled vehicle out there you can get by, but be aware if you're headed up to the interstate with fowler. klosterman road, an accident, but no delays on 19. back to gene and gayle. >> thank you. the future of the toll lanes on the howard frankland bridge. >> decision that could affect your commute. >>> showdown in virginia, the v

a dangerous path now heading landfall across portions of the east coast. the official track has it hitting the brakes a few miles before the coast then turning north and to the north and east and making a c heading back out. we will watch it closely as far as the additional model runs and the forecast track. we may have to shift it further west than we have been. we will run out of further west before we make a landfall here. there it is. as we head drew the middle part of the week, getting into thursday 4 hurricane with 130 miles per hour winds just thursday night into the early hours of friday morning so very close. you can't see with the icon whether it has made landfall or not. it hasn't with this forecast track, it keeps it offshore thens head's up the coast. thursday into friday the biggest impacts with highlands and polk counties under the tropical storm watch. the only counties under cone, still looking at gusty winds for us thursday into friday but not tropical storm force sustained winds. those are in the forecast for polk and highlands. the furth

right along the central and northern east portion of the florida coast. the storm is making its closest pass to shreveport. it's on grand mama island. it is tremendous wind and rain. the outer band, that had some heavy rain and strong wind but the core of the storm, this will be moving to this florida coast. that's not good news. it is a category four storm with 140 miles per hour. our move along the shore. all the way up toward jacksonville. then towards georgia and south carolina. once it is there over the weekend it will start to move east and we can significantly. just want to show you this. the hurricane force wind, notice how it gets the east coast of florida from the hurricane killed 100 people. tracking developments for us. >> it's not just the intensity but the duration. it is a slow mover and will be life-changing for many. as matthew closes then, florida's highways have been

. >> it was for a portion of the florida east coast. we'll show you that specific area in just a minute. you can see the eye of matthew very clearly. i want to emphasize how big this thing is. we are not just talking about the center of the storm or the eye. too many people get into this it looks like the highest chance of a major impact is well above miami, from about palm beach almost today to daytona beach. winds are possible in that area. it is also possible they would extend that watch closer at some point. it still has 145 miles per hour winds moving north at 10 miles per hour. it has made land fall. it is about the worst possible track because it's going over the least amount of land that would cause it to weaken the least amount. so more bad news there. it will come and graze the eastern tip of cuba and go into the bahamas. it's a category 4. it is likely to weaken just a touch. this area is so small and so much of the circulation is over water. there you can see it. just this narrow peninsula. porta prince is right there. there

we see a few showers along the east coast. other than that, we're going to be worry free as we had through the day. 61 in raleigh and lewisburg today. 63 in clayton. as we head hour by hour, we will be close to 69 at noon today. only 73. that is unseasonably cool for forecast, we will see that we stay on the dry side today. we do not have to worry about any of the rain that we could worry about later this week with hurricane matthew. some low 70s in raleigh and durham today. 75 in fayetteville. tonight -- tonight, it will be cooler. you will see lower 70s through friday. we will see the impacts of matthew into friday. saturday is still looking to be the wettest day for us. rest of the rain gets kicked -- kicked out of here on this is a view of earlier this morning when crews were working to clear and overturned than on a guardrail on i 90 -- on i 64 at odds road. that accident is now clear. we do know that was a fatal crash. we will keep you posted on details of that. it is luckily cleared for the morning rush. cleared it look

along the east coast. more goes by as far as information goes and dat tarks the better idea on the exact track i think tomorrow. more so on wednesday. the rain gradually ending to night. we're downo 75. and thunder showersill be redeveloping tomorrow. we'rbackp to 86 and then the forecast for cloudy. showers start moving because the outer flow with matthew and 87. i'm not expecting that much rain if the storm parallels the east coast. then the hurricane force winds out 40 miles to the center. so we won't have hurricane force winds with the storm parallel in the east coast. not that much wind and then it tus drier a ls humids sunday and monday. a lot going on. back to you. >> certainly is. thank you paul. this is a crazy story. kim kardashian recovering from a frightening robber i. and the thieves ee this is medicine. medicine. uh... mecinecine. with amendment 2, this is at "medicine" will look like: up to twenty times stronger than it once was. marketed to kids. sold next to schools. in nearly two thousand

all the computer models in agreement that it's going to hang off florida's east coast. one change with this suite computer models is it's pushing in closer along the south carolina and north carolina coast. but look at this. this could effect just about everybody on the east coast of the united states by the time this is said and done. and about two minutes ago, tropical storm nicole formed out in the atlantic. at this point, it's not expected to bother anyone. it's going to be a tropical storm for a while and sit and spin out there. a lot going on in the tropics. we'll talk about our local forecast, coming up. >>> right now florida son alert. closely monitoring this storm. >> we heard from governor rick scott about what's being done to prepare for hurricane matthew here in florida. news channel 8's meredith joins us now from the tampa news center. >> the governor said we cannot rule out a direct hit on florida. we really need to take this storm seriously. >> the problem we have with this storm is the projected path is right along our coast. if it turns, we're not going

there are hurricane warnings and watching along the entire east coast of our state. tropical storm watches are now in effect through florida's gulf coast, this is the first time with this hurricane. this is serious. having a plan in place can be the difference between life and death when it comes to of this magnitude. here are the impacts. heavy rain, forecast project 4 to 7 inches in the upper keys, north ward to central florida, could be ten inches in some areas. let's remember, when we have storms like this, we get bands, sometimes, those bands drop way more water than that. eight feet from sebastian inlet to the florida georgia line. three to five feet from deerfield beach to sebastian inlet. one to two feet. this surge can be deadly. you go back to what we had with the category 1 in the panhandle, we had storm surges as much as ten feet. and when this water comes in, it comes in fast and it goes out fast. please, do not risk going out on the beach and trying to surf. again, this can kill you cannot save you. we are going to have rip currents. we are going to have

it's watches along the entire east coast. cal storm watches are in effect for florida's gulf coast. remember, this is serious. 125-mile-an-hour winds. it's expected to strengthen. only a small deviation in the forecast track to the left or to the west could bring the core of a major hurricane on shore. within the hurricane warning area. with a small deviation to the right, could keep the winds off shore. a small boon could mean a lot, the difference between life and death. that's why we have to prepare for a direct hit. so if you're in an area that's still vying, evacuation zone or island, there's no reason to wait. if you wait, that's when lines happen, that's when we have problems with fuel. this is life and death. again, protecting life is our number one priority. the impacts of hurricane matthew could be as follows. heavy rain. expected to produce rainfall of 4 to 8 inches and even up to 12 along the east coast and the keys, 1 to 3 inches. think about this. if you look at prior storms, when there's a band that goes, it cou
