adam klotz in the fox weather center. adam, thank you. warning in effect for wrightsville beach north carolina, that is where rick rick leventhal is right now. how does it look where you are? >> our phones have been lighting up. there are storm surges in effect, a hurricane here and we are dealing with winds that have deteriorated rapidly over the course of the evening. we had power all day until about two or three hours ago. up on the north of wrightsville beach, flashes on the mainland side. the power all reaches, coverage is only going to throw. a couple hours ago, 165,000 customers in north carolina without power. that number could reach 1 to 3 million customers before the storm is done. it starts here in wrightsville beach. tough to stay if there is flooding yet on the main roads. we can't really tell, we can't tell if there has been any significant tree damage or trees down, but that is also likely to happen because as you know, the ground in this part of north carolina has been saturated. wilmington set records this summer with the

adam klotz. anwhile wrightsville, north carolina is brace for a direct hit from florence and possibly a huge storm surge as adam pointed out this thing is going to hang around for a while. a lot of rain. and doesn't my next guest know it all too well the mayor of wilmington, delaware joins us on what is doing helping people in that area to deal with this. will ming top, north carolina. mayor thank you for taking the time there what are you noticing now? what are people telling you? >> people are taking this very seriously. they have heeded the warnings. they know the size of this storm is pretty large. they know it's coming right at us. and they are heeding the advice of the elected officials and the emergency management folks and making preparations and evacuating the area. >> neil: mayor, what do you do about people who say no, i don't want to leave. i don't want the hassle of leaving and i want to say right where i am? >> well, you know, i have said this over and over again, but once this storm

adam klotz, we'll be back to you several times. thank you.ith widespread flooding in the carolinas, the red cross is looking for volunteers to help with relief efforts. joining us on the phone from durham as red cross spokesperson betsy johnson. betsy, the red cross, every time we go out and cover these hurricanes or other disasters, the red cross is always a sign that people look forward to because there is a sign of stability there. but apparently we've still got some time before you get to go out because this thing is not over yet. >> it is so true. hearing your reporter, leland, talk about being limited to travel around just a couple of miles, we are experiencing the same thing. over the last 24, 36 hours or so, movement has been very difficult for us. the safety of our workforce is very important to us, the safety of the people who are seeking shelter with those. we have been sheltering in place and working on taking care of the people who have needed us. as people are able to get to our shelters, welcoming the new arrivals and all the t

adam klotz is in the extreme weather center with the forecast. moving. the center circulation over portions of south carolina but all of the activity remains off towards the east. the wind still at 35 miles an hour with this not tropical depression. there are large areas where there was a tornado threat. that is the pink, a tornado warned storm. everything in the box as they watch preconditions are usually small but if they land where you are you will notice it. even if it isn't you -- even if it is in ef0 or ef1. everything in white and pink is getting up to the 20 or 30 inch range.it has just been nonstop. most of the heavy rain has been getting to push further inland and will continue to see that the rest of today into the overnight hours but 30 and a half inches, that is the state record, preliminary but huge total and eventually all of the rain falling and continuing to fall will need somewhere to go. that is why river flooding wells already begun will continue to intensify in the next couple of days.partly because there is more rain on the w

adam klotz is in the weather sr. with the details. adam: it's a long ways away when we talk about hurricane forecasting. but this one continues to show us every single update where it will be heading. this is a category one hurricane heading this direction. you see an eye right there that will become more defined as this becomes a strong and stronger storm. it will be moving south of bermuda and jumping up to a category 3 hurricane. it's running into areas where it will strengthen quickly. that's taking you into early thursday morning. you are nearing the coast, then likely hitting the coast heading into the overnight hours from thursday into friday morning. that's only because it made landfall in this model. so that will weaken. but likely a category 3 or 4 storm as it heads in this direction. these waters fueling this. it takes 80 degree water to fuel a hurricane. you are looking at waters 85 degrees all the way up to the coast. that will allow this to become a larger more powerful storm as it heads closer and closer to the carolinas

meteorologist adam klotz is tracking the storm from the fox extreme weather center.esterday this could become a cat 4 storm. do you still stand by that? >> yeah, all the model guidance is continuing to take it up to that extreme level. we're beginning to see it grow. there it is spinning well southwest of bermuda. but it's going to become a bigger storm. it's come together already here in the last 24 hours or so. you can see the eye wall spinning right there. this is going to strengthen as it runs over warmer water. this is the current guidance. i think by the time we get into tomorrow, likely a category 3 storm, jumping up to a cat 4 as it approaches the east coast. there's the timing. this area right there, we're talking about thursday morning, so when would this make landfall? >landfall? we're talking thursday night into early friday morning. it falls into a category 2 after making landfall. it will be a major hurricane if it holds to this track, likely a category 3 or category 4 storm as it moves that direction. part of the reason continues to be this extremely w

first, adam klotz with the latest on this massive storm. hi, adam. >> hey there, shannon.e continues to be a big one. 90-mile-per-hour winds, category 1 storm. at this point, looks like it is sitting on the coast, not there yet but some of those real heavy bands of rain or moving in. there is your center of circulation, it still off the coast about 80 miles. take a look at the very happy bands of rain. they are our strong winds within these. it is really pushing the water up along the coast. flood concerns have been on the coast from central north carolina burning you all across the outer banks. winds have been there also, looking at wind gusts up to 60 miles per hour in some locations, the mid 50s, these are all right along the coast and communities just inland. out a little farther, closer to the eye, which eventually will work its way closer to the coast, wind gusts up to 81 miles per hour. wind gusts of 112 miles an hour. out at a buoy. this moves closer, the stronger winds will keep getting closer to shore. we'll see those window values increase if some of those commu

adam klotz live in the extreme weather center now, adam?he flooding going to continue is going to be from water as has already fallen as it works down into tributaries. here in the white 20 inches or more of rain. such a huge rainmaker we saw spots of the highest total there in elizabeth town across much of the state, all of that water has to go somewhere. that's going to be the big focus going forward. these are current river gauges. you see them spread out. everything in the purple those are colors where you are already up to major flooding. we are going to be talking about getting even more intense in the next couple of days, shepard, this is just a big, big event and probably peaking on wednesday. >> shepard: adam klotz wrapping our coverage. breaking news straight to the floor where mitch mcconnell is speaking on kavanaugh. >> bring some accountability. we need it. >> chose to keep secret until the 11th hour. neither she nor any of her democratic colleagues chose to raise this allegation during the committee staff's bipartisan backgrou

let's get to the meteorologist, adam klotz.lain these models, how you look at them and why they're different. >> shepard, they are two different models. people are looking to the european model. it nailed hurricane sandy. and the gfs model is often right some of the time or we would only be using the european model. it was the european model that showed a sharp turn to the south and west. you started to think uh-oh, maybe this could be longer. i'll put them in motion. the gfc in blue, the euro in green. by tomorrow afternoon, that's when you approach the coast and both are in agreement. what happens next? well, one of these models, the gfs, they move the same direction. the gfc weakens quicker. the euro stays down the coast and beginning to move inland. the euro one has been very popular in recent months. the gfc is often right also. so as we've seen these move, shep, that's when we've seen the cone track with these. it's been pulling all of our suggestions to think okay, maybe this is more of a problem for georgia. >> shepard:

adam klotz is in the fox news extreme weather center with the forecast. adam?e, jon, eventually the storm will pick up speed, move a little bit faster. for now still fairly slow. the center of circulation is there in northern portions of south carolina, about to cross back up into north carolina, all the activity, all the rain continues to fall across back across the state of north carolina, off the coast, but inland communities now getting some heavier rain. the other threat thatn't cos, a tornado threat -- the other threat that continues, a tornado threat, this typically happens with a tropical storm. everything you are looking at highlighted in the red, that's a tornado watch, which means that the conditions are there. and then when you get these pink boxes, that's a tornado warned cell. typically those are only at 0, ef-1, run themselves out pretty quickly, but it could do some damage if it comes down near a home. these have been popping up as well as areas with heavy rain. rain has been the big story with this. radar estimated, the light pinks and white co

adam klotz is live in the extreme weather center. what are you seeing?shepard, continuing to see this storm intensify. you were talking about it category 2 storm this morning. here it spins now nice formed i wall still way away from the u.s. coast. south of bermuda at this point. it's got a long way to travel but it stays intense the entire day. burntly a category 4 and you look at the track stays a category 4 storm this entire way. now, the timing on this system currently projections have it just off the coast of the carolinas by thursday morning. at this point things are beginning to deteriorate for the carolinas before eventually running on shore likely with that same intensity, that same strength. that strength a category 4 hurricane which means winds of 130 up to 156 miles per hour. it does look as though we are going to be on the higher end of this so close to 150 mile-per-hour winds when this makes landfall. again, likely late thursday into early friday morning. that's the current time frame with this system. generally, you get a storm where this

let's check in with meteorologist adam klotz live from the extreme weather center. adam?re, jon, yeah still a big storm. good news it's weakening. that's not going to stop it from bringing some of the moisture into the desert southwest. here's what we're currently looking at with winds of 75 miles-an-hour off the baja coast about to run into some cooler waters in northern mexico. when it does so, that's when it starts to break apart. here's your time line, taking you into monday, crossing the baja peninsula, eventually running later into monday, into tuesday, is when this becomes a low pressure system, but still bringing plenty of tropical moisture. so not a hurricane, just a whole lot of rain is what we will be talking about. pretty widespread here. everything in this deeper blue -- excuse me green, you are looking at rainfall rates as much as 2 to 3 inches and in some cases 2 to 3 inches an hour in some of the heaviest spots where maybe you get as much as 4 to 5 inches all together. there will be downpours with this. there will be a lot of moisture with this system. it

for all the latest, let's check in with meteorologist adam klotz standing by in the fox news extremeeather center. we know it is hurricane season, it's heating up. >> it is really heating up. today typically is the peak of the meteorological peak of hurricane season. it's looking like it. there are a lot of big storms beginning with florence. this one now i category 4, 140-mile-per-hour winds, rapidly intensifying, you see the eye of the storm, well defined. this is a long ways away from the u.s. coast, now just heading south of bermuda but here is the track it is going to run. you notice it stays a category . it is a big one with strong winds. anywhere from currently at 140 miles per hour, likely running up to 150 miles an hour or greater. the timeline of this particular storm and this track taking a just outside of the carolinas by early thursday morning. at this point, whether in the carolinas has already become to deteriorate freighted will make landfall likely thursday ae early morning hours. still enough time for her to speed up or slow down, that is why there is indecision on

goal is to build a full fleet of 60 of these trash collectors. >>> we are going to be talking to adam klotz. it's churning toward the united states as two states issue emergency declarations. how powerful a storm will this be? adam? adam: hey there, jon, it is going to eventually become a really powerful storm. the conditions are right for this. it will be moving closer to the states. currently a tropical storm. but you notice quickly jumping up to a category 2, likely tonight or tomorrow and then running up to a category 4 storm as it moves past bermuda works its way closer to the coast. we are not getting up close to the east coast until thursday of next week. there is a lot of time for things to change with this storm, but one thing that's not going to change is the conditions are right for this to get really strong. what you need is calm upper level winds. everything you are looking with bright color here, those are the kind of winds that do not help a storm develop. this is about to move in these areas where there are no winds. that's going to allow this to become a stronger more power

meteorologist adam klotz is tracking it all from our weather center. adam: hey, there, mike! it has been such a slow moving system. it continues to be so unfortunate to the center of circulation is in inland south carolina but as you notice, all the rest of stretching back across the portions of north carolina that have in some cases already seen as much is 30 inches of rain. this is the center of circulation but all the activity off to the east, the tornado watch, conditions are there concluding with the absolute downpours that continue to fall on some of the locations. the estimated rainfall here, so far we've seen spots getting into the white colors. it's getting anywhere for up to 30 inches of rain. there is more rain throughout the day and actually record-breaking. this is the highest preliminary number. 30 and a half inches in one location right along coastal communities. just because rounds of showers, when are we going to finally see this move a little bit? it will be clearing out later today been to monday. the problem is as we move forward even though this begins to

let's get to meteorologist adam klotz in the fox weather center. what is the latest, adam?ey there, connell. it is a massively rapidly intensifying storm. was at cat-3 but now up to cat-4. you can see a nice defined eyewall. this is long way from the coast. the track is going to bring it closer, and closer, by the end of the week we'll talk about a landfall. it is staying at category 4 the entire way. off the coast of the carolinas, but thursday morning our current track has it just off the coast. winds still strong enough to keep it at a category 4. when will it make landfall? our current guidance suggest thursday afternoon into the overnight hours. this is still a long ways off. it is time to speed up or slow down. it is going over warm water. that will fuel some very strong winds. likely staying category 4 means which are winds anywhere from 130 to 160 mile-an-hour. this will be a major wind event for people along the coast when it makes its way alongshore. that is one of our concerns. our forecast models are spaghetti plots bringing in a tight line. anywhere from portio

it is now a category 3 storm heading towards the coast of the carolinas, fox news meteorologist adam klotz is live in the weather center with the very latest on the storm's path. adam. >> hey, david. the storm weakened just a little bit this afternoon but don't think that it will be any less impactful. climbed from a cat-3 where it weakened back up to a cat-4. off the coast of carolina, friday morning. you see a slow move. that is saturday morning. it is just sitting there, bringing with it a whole lot of rain. i talked about the actual storm itself. eyewall getting friday morning. when do we see effects? everything you're looking in yellowish orange color. those are tropical force winds. those are pushing on by lunchtime tomorrow, as you head into overnight hours, early into friday morning. winds only intensifies and spins and spins and spins, slowly working its way down the coast. women's are in wilmington, perhaps 60 hours. with that you're getting rain and with that storm surge. storm surge will be an issue. nine to 13 feet in some areas. this could be pushed well inland because we're

we begin with meteorologist adam klotz on the storm's latest track. it's changed a bit. >> it has, dana. we just got a update last 30 seconds before we went on air. one of the things we saw the wind speeds dropped to 125 miles per hour. that's enough to turn it down to category 3. that's right on the border of a category 4. it is expected to restrengthen. this is just a brief weakening before it restrengthens back up to a category 4 here. likely by the next time we get an update. this is going to be restrengthening. once again, this is taking you in to thursday. notice by the time we hit near landfall likely friday morning, close to landfall or making it, this is then saturday morning. so what are we going to notice with this track is a sudden stall. a little bit of a shift to the south but definitely a sudden stall with that stall you are going to see a possibility for rain to pile up. you're going to see more time for it to bring in that storm surge and that's what we have been seeing here. storm surge heights could be getting up as much as 13 feet.

but bringing dangerous flooding. 5 reports from griff jenkins and todd pyro, but we begin with adam klotz has been here all night long. you have been doing great work. >> the storm getting closer to the coast and it looks like you are sitting on top of it. vi wall has not made landfall, still a category one storm. it is 35 miles from wilmington but that was an hour ago. likely closer to 30 miles at a 6 mile an hour pace, maybe closer. that is wilmington over there. getting to the coast probably 10 miles away. the firewall is where these bands wrap around bringing heavy rain, these bands of absolute downpours following on the same location over and over again for hour after hour. that is why everything you are looking at highlighted in these red boxes are flash flood warnings. i'm sure their standing water in most of these locations on top of the wind that in getting closer in these locations was we had of wind gusts, and each of these locations 62 miles an hour in wilmington out to see. that is off the coast. the highest i have seen, 112 miles an hour. still strong wind moving closer to t

meteorologist adam klotz is tracking the path of the storm, he's in the fox news extreme weather centeram, what can we expect. >> eric, now is the time to start paying attention to this because it'll start strengthening in the next couple of days, currently sitting at tropical storm, it will jump to category 1 or 2 storm tonight. you notice it continues in bermuda, category 4 and stays there as it gets close to storm, if you pay attention to time stamps, that's getting thursday morning, still hasn't reached the east coast, we have to pay attention to it because it's so big but this one is a long ways off and there are still a lot of time to see where this thing is going to steer, the thing that we are certain of, it'll be running over warm water, that's what it takes for the storms to get strong and powerful. you need 80-degree water, water of 85-degree range, that's enough for this to grow the entire track as it works its way towards east coast which means it'll be powerful one with strong winds. here is our spaghetti plot, most of them -- most take all the way up to the coast but you

fox news meteorologist adam klotz is in the weather center with the very latest. hi, adam. >> hey there. it's a big storm and it is continuing to strengthen. winds currently at 130 miles-an-hour. it is will get a category 5 next 12 to 24 hours. winds get up close to 140, 150 miles-an-hour. ultimately the wind speeds may die down a little bit. that is the current projections, looking at winds by the time you get to the close, closer to 120 miles-an-hour. it would make landfall, currently projected to do so early friday morning. that is the timing on the system. there is a little bit of indecision, what it will bring for sure, no matter what the wind speeds are a ton of storm surge. areas getting up to six to 12 feet of storm surge. there are a lot of low lying areas especially portions of southern north carolina. the storm surge might not just affect the beach but run inland. flooding will be an issue with this system. another reason flooding will be an issue, not just storm surge but will be rain. we have a nice tight line of potential storm paths stretching anywhe

our very own adam klotz at the weather sentwer the latest. adam. >> trish, we got the most recent update a little bit ago. what we saw winds dropped down just enough to make it a category 3. that doesn't mean it will stay there. it is reforming and strengthening running back up into a category 4 storm likely tomorrow. we're watching it make its way towards the coast. this is friday morning, sitting at the coast, very close to it. the one behind it, saturday morning? what does that indicate the system is about to slow down in a big way, kind of stall out. as it moves the direction, stalls out, water will be the issue. one of those things, storm surge, we're looking storm surge forecast getting up to 13 feet on the high-end in some locations. this is a model indicating some pink colors and white colors where storm surge will be at absolute peak. there is a lot of low-lying areas across coastal north carolina. this could push inland quite aways, causing flooding for a lot of folks. if this storm stalls like i indicating it might, like some model

fox news meteorologist adam klotz is live in the weather center tracking its path. , up to what speed wind will we be looking for here? >> we're up close to hurricane level. perhaps a category one hurricane by the time we make landfall. it become as category 1 hurricane at 74 miles-an-hour. we're projecting 75 miles an hour when it makes landfall t will be right in at that range, very strong tropical storm or lower end category 1 storm as it makes landfall in the next several hours. here is what we're currently seeing. here is the center of circulation. outer bands of very heavy rain hitting aplatch coal a la -- apalachicola, moving to pensacola. this is quick mover. this is the time stamp in the corner this is the future radar. this is the send is testify circulation. obviously rain already falling, but it will make landfall likely around 7:00 to 8:00 p.m. here this evening. as it moves in that direction, heaviest rain, strongest storm surge are typically on eastern side. you will see the rain stretch off to the west including areas like new orleans but heaviest rai

with labor day ushering in the unusual end of the season, adam klotz is here with the forecast for yourere, jon, plenty of folks still trying to squeeze out a little bit of summer. there are spots where temperatures are warmer. a gorgeous day in mid-atlantic, 73 degrees in new york city currently. you do see spots in the center of the country where it is still very warm, 91 degrees currently in kansas city. mid 80s in the midwest, chicago region. this warm air is going to hover throughout the course of the weekend, but notice this cool line. colder air behind it. that's a cold front. when you get a cold front like that, that's where you start to see some thunderstorms. the biggest storms we will be paying attention to throughout the weekend. we have the thunderstorms that will repeatedly be popping up along the cold front. also have a little bit of low pressure system moving across the gulf. rain will be going off and on there. the big rain, you will want to pay attention to that, it will be lingering the next few days. rainfall rate taking you here four or five days, madison wisconsin,

we first go to adam klotz in the weather center as hurricane florence remains as category 4 storm andld potentially get stronger. walk us through it. >> it could get stronger. the 2:00 p.m. update, winds holding steady at 130 miles an hour north of bermuda. likely strengthening up to winds of 140, to 150 miles-an-hour. if it comes to 156 that will be category 5. as it comes closer weakening again, staying a powerful hurricane. winds down to 140. 120 miles an hour by the time it makes landfall. stiff enough to bring a bunch of water. that is why storm surge will be a major issue. we're hooking at spots getting up to six to 12-foot. a lot of water coming in will not just damage the beach but force its way inland, and flooding for inland communities not just right along the coastal areas. this storm's projections is staying in line. places in south carolina talking about the charleston area, running north to the outer banks, all spots this eventually makes landfall. pay attention what happens next. get up along the coast of the carolinas there is more indecision where the models take it

adam klotz thank you very much. the calm before the storm.his is part of the south carolina coast that the governor of that state has recommended be cleared out ahead of this storm. we'll be talking to him shortly, that's better than a million individuals who will have to get out of town and fast. some of the usual precautions ahead of that are cruise lines and airlines taking precautions of their own. fox business network susan li on what they're doing right now. susan? >> all right, neil. so hurricane florence, of course, impacting travel. six crewsships ar cruise ships g diverted. two norwegian one and one ocean an scheduled. they were all headed for the rib caribbean, bermuda or bahamas they will skip. one was supposed to sail south and now north to canada to avoid hurricane florence. be sure to check with your cruise to confirm. airlines waiving change fees. american airlines, southwest waiving fees that usually cost as much as $200. difference of fares so fliers can alter travel plans accordingly. given the path of hurricane florence, 2

adam klotz is keeping an eye on hurricane florence. >> you mentioned it fell to a cat three storm. that won't last. winds at 125 miles an hour. it will restrengthen and jump back to a category four storm. by the time you see it on the coast, likely friday morning, but that's not when you necessarily see the effects of this. these are the winds, the arrival of the tropical storm winds. everything you're looking at in the yellow, this is by lunch time tomorrow. thursday at noon, the winds pick up. only intensifies thursday evening, friday morning. everything in the red, hurricane force winds. if you notice, this spins and spinning for 48 hours. it will spin into the weekend. the more it spins, the more you'll see the storm surges pile up. we have spots saying 9 to 13 feet likely. these are models. anything you're looking at in the pink colors, the white colors, that's on the higher end. you're looking at anywhere from 8 to 10 to 12 feet of storm surge. that on top of a stalling system, that's when the ryan piles up. the system drops water along the coast. numbers there, 20 to 30 inch

rob: expected to strengthen in gulf of mexico and could delay flights, adam klotz as tropics begin tobeen waiting and waiting, we have seen tropical activity across portions of entire atlantic. i will show you a couple of storms moving across. the gulf has been soggy all the way to new orleans, texas, areas farther off the west, they will see more and we are talking about what could become tropical storm gordon in the next couple of days that currently moving across portions of south florida, i will begin with current storm, florence way out to sea, just showing you the conveyer belt that will start firing up and we do start to see more activity, this isn't one that's going make landfall, the one we are concerned is close the other home, still not tropical storm, low pressure south of florida, this is going to be move ago cross south florida, still not tropical storm but bringing rain today, moving back to gulf of mexico, that's when it'll have more time to develop, strengthen a little, winds getting up to 45 miles an hour, never will this become hurricane but likely tropical storm go

tracking the path of the monster storm, category category 2 hurricane florence braden meteorologist adam klotze fox news weather center. hi, adam. >> and look at the big storm, at this point it looks like you were sitting on top of the coast, has made landfall yet, windsor 94 miles per hour, category 1. the circulations, the outer bands hammering parts of the curse but you see the center of circulation, 80 miles off the coast. the band, though, bringing the heaviest rain, strong winds, a lot of storm surge now running from portions of central carolina, stretching to the outer banks. that will be continuing as we see this turn and head off towards wilmington overnight tonight into early tomorrow morning. the winds already beginning to arrive in these communities. currently getting winds up into the middle 50s, 55 miles an hour. you see out in the buoys, wind hosts gusts as high as 81 miles per hour. this will move this direction, and we will see those stronger bins work their way on drawer over the course of the overnight hours enter early tomorrow morning. here's the motion with the storm. wha

adam klotz in the fox weather center with the latest on the storm. >> hi, david.his morning from category two to category 4. you see a defined eyewall. winds spinning. this is south of bermuda. this is the track it is going to be taking. as you see it move closer and closer to the coast, keeps up that intensity. still a category 4 storm until all the way off the coast. this is early thursday morning 8:00 a.m., winds 140, 1 miles an hour off the coast. strong winds liking make landfall thursday, early friday morning. this is could speed up or slow down. we'll get a better idea on the timing next couple days but it is going to be strong. winds somewhere between 130 and 156 miles an hour. it will make landfall as category 4 storm, what is the models are suggesting. we have a big high pressure system isn't letting that happen. here is all the tropical models, pretty widespread here. you're looking from myrtle beach, south carolina to the outer banks. all areas where this eventually could be making landfall. the question will be what happens once we get there? several
