impressive storm that's belting the bahamas and heading toward the bahamas, not away, and that's key because it's hiding out there, missing a connection with the jet stream to the west and not allowing it to be captured toward the midatlantic. now the more likely scenario is this side of the forecast cone. an offshore track can send some rough surf and rain bands and strong gusty breezes but it looks like the trend is going to continue to be to this offshore track. we'll show you the new hurricane track in main weather. light rain tomorrow, then it gets heavier in the afternoon. that goes right through the weekend. even early next week if joaquin is offshore. hurricane joaquin may stay out in the atlantic. we'll get you that new track and all the details in the 7-day accuweather forecast. amy freeze also going to join me to talk about all this uncertainty we've been having with this storm and why that's the case in the forecast. >> let's hope joaquin does stay out in the atlantic. >>> governor chris christie declaring a state of emergency in new jersey. at the same time he's urging r

winds 130 miles per hour, just sitting and battering the central bahamas. by later this evening, it will start to shift north away from the bahamas, and look at this new forecast track from the hurricane center. all the models started shifting eastward yesterday. now the hurricane center is thinking this is going to stay offshore and u.s. landfall not expected with hurricane joaquin. we'll keep you posted on that. in the meantime, you need an umbrella out the door here on the south shore and the cape. lighter rain right now. that rain is going to slowly pivot northward with highs today. we also have that northeasterly wind, and it is quite gusty along the coastline. gusting over 30 miles per hour. throughout the day on the cape and the islands, the winds could hour. wind advisories staying up this morning. we are once again concerned with the high tide this afternoon. could be minor coastal flooding during the afternoon hours. look at the temperatures. lower 50's this morning. low to mid-50's this afternoon. it is a cool, raw day. that rain does shift into

as you can see from the bahamas. joaquin is still a dangerous category 4 and right now parked over the bahamas with maximum sustained winds of 130 miles an hour. it is expected to turn north and run parallel to the u.s. with a close pass forecast for the southeastern new england coast line. joaquin forced the evacuation of people living in the outer banks of north carolina, which could still see 12 to 24 inches of rain. >> really just kind of -- >> seen the sign. said leave. we debated on leaving in the morning and then last minute we decided we're leaving tonight. >> where to next? >> we're not sure. >> what are you worried about at this point? >> just getting everything to high ground. >> in new jersey, beach communities are creating sand barriers to protect against possible coastal flooding. one town is actually pumped the water out of its biggest lake to give the people another place to go. governor chris christie has declared a state of oemergency as super storm sandy. that's the system that caused lots of damag

joaquin is still in the bahamas. this is not finished with the bahamas.s is why it's so uncertain because it won't move out of the bahamas and just pouring down rain. once it gets its journey off to the north it's only moving 3 miles per hour. once it gets going, the forecast will be more certain. this is good news for us, not the bahamas. it continues its track off to the north. so much so that it is pushing off to the east that they might issue hurricane watches in bermuda. we are out of the cone, and that's good news for us. still, beach erosion and high surf so take it easy on the east coast beaches. rain is dropping to showers on sunday. i think this will be okay but a little uncomfortable sweatshirt weather. monday, 70 degrees and much be on medicare fraud. the health care law gives us powerful tools to fight it. to investigate it prosecute it and stop criminals our senior medicare patrol volunteers are teaching seniors across the country to stop, spot and report fraud you can help guard your medicare card don't give out your card number over the ph

the bad news, though, is it is still over the bahamas. you saw the video. they are still pounded there from the wind and the waves. and that's not going to change until tomorrow night. we also can't let our guard down because of the other coastal storm coming here tomorrow. joaquin is still a category four over the bahamas tonight. winds are 130 miles an hour. the storm slowed down, which is the worst news they needed there and a tropical storm warning was issued for eastern cuba. they may feel the effects, as well. it will start to pull away tomorrow night, still as a category four. notice the track. it is narrower and farther off shore. now it looks as though it will miss us all together, everybody on the east coast. the effects will be more minor in terms of wave action and coastal flooding. however, we sill have to keep an this is the developing coastal storm. the nor'easter type of storm that hits with wind, waves and rain. and i will talk about that a few minutes. back to you. >>> the governor declared a state of emergency in new jersey in anticipatio

hurricane joaquin is in the bahamas but pulling away from the about a bahamas which is gos for them. the rain is starting to miss out on us, as well. as we look at that two mentional view, you can see there's light nuisance sprinkles and showers popping through philadelphia. the heavy rain has pushed to the north. going in tight we have speckled spotty precipitation, a little more coming off the ocean, a lot less rain around than yesterday. i think there will be good portions of the day where we are cloudy windy and cool. maybe feeling a little damp, but not as much active rain around. as we look outside, we have sky6 live hd at the shore, once again, the cameras wiggling and bouncing because we have strong gusty winds across the region at the shore. look at the heavy, rough surf. beach erosion an issue today as well as moderate to major coastal flooding. in the 40 40s in trenton be -- and lancaster. milder down the coast, but nobody is feeling comfortable. the heavy rain is pushing off to the north and west of us. on future tracker 6 by noon, most of the area is beginning to dry out

it is pomeling the bahamas right now.his is rain that has nothing to do with joaquin, which is way down here, just want to show you the distance, back to us, though, it is a cold front, that's kind of lingering, just off shore. and continuing to throw back some showers. so, have that rain gear with you, once again, and be prepared for cooler temperatures, than yesterday. be prepared for some coastal flooding over the next couple every days, because, this flood watch is in effect through saturday afternoon. 63 degrees, with 18-mile per hour winds. 65% relative humidity, sunrise at 6:57 this morning. so, temperatures, are in the 50's, to the north of us, a lot cooler than yesterday's 70s, 63 degrees, as we showed you in the city, and lower 60s to the south of us. winds are casino every gusty, too, sustained winds in philadelphia, as we mentioned, 18 miles an hour s we will he see temperatures drop through the 60s, cooler air continues to filter in today. >> occasional showers. heavier rain rolls in tonight. gusty winds, as

it's going to meander around the bahamas the next few days. finally making that north turn by about friday. then we'll see it getting closer to the carolinas possibly by friday night into early saturday. then there you see moving inland. these are computer models. there's a bit of a spread here. once they move inland, they'll combine with a stationary front and get absorbed back to the northeast. of course, all this we'll be watching into the weekend. we do expect windy, rainy weather through your weekend. breezy and cooler tonight with a chance of showers. temperatures in about the mid to upper 50s. tomorrow, breezy, cooler day. temperatures topping out in the mid to low 60s. mostly south and east of philadelphia. heavy rain and wind on friday and same thing on saturday. by sunday and monday, that would be joaquin's effects. temperatures around 70 degrees. but the rain and the wind continue. of course, we'll be tracking joaquin and all the updates starting tomorrow morning again and bill henley will have all the updates. danny? >> thank you,

this is going to blast the bahamas.he southeast bahamas could be getting more than a foot of rain. it is still drifting to the southwest towards the bahamas and it will continue to do that for the next day or so. but then it looks like it will be making a turn to the north. i want to show you the spaghetti plots of the computer models. you can see something that has not changed, still a 650-mile spread between the models. there is still a chance the storm could head out to sea. but if you look where we have the consensus, most computer models bring it to shore near the outer banks of north carolina. i want to stress the actual track does not matter as much as the whole atmospheric set-up. and we have a stalled front, and we also have very strong blocking high pressure up to the north. the combination of the two opposing firsts will really siphon in winds out of the east over the next couple of days. that will bring us flooding rains and tremendous winds. so this is really the key time we're looking at. friday into satur

>> hurricane joaquin slamming the bahamas. let's discuss joaquin. >> also, developing this morning, a man struck and kill by two cars, in delaware county. one stayed at the scene, but the other just took off. so the search for that hit-and-run driver this morning. >> and, listen up, folks. get ready, dig deep into those pockets, well, not that deep. maybe a shell. the fare hikes for new jersey transit, they started today. >> hello everybody, october the first, 2015, straight up 7:00. the big story the weather. >> and we have nasty weather that has nothing to do with joaquin. while we pile that on, maybe over the weaken, now looks like maybe the latter half of the weekend will be joaquin related. >> so while sleeping, it has gone from category two hurricane to three, may hit four later today. >> it could. and the track of the storm, which we'll show you next time, has change add lot. so again, if you just woke up, there have been a lot of changes overnight with this storm. it is powerful. 120-mile per hour winds. with joaquin,

right now the hurricane around the bahamas, been sitting over the bahamas for the last few days and witharm water temperatures and little movement, favorable atmospheric conditions strengthened to a category 4. winds 130 miles an hour, it's moving to the southwest, so technically it's moving away from us but eventually will take the north turn and that would start to bring it up into the atlantic, so as of sunday morning 8:00 a.m., the more current updated track for the storm puts it as a category 2 off the south carolina coast and then the difference with today's track compared to yesterday, it does bring us a little farther out to sea, so by monday into tuesday, that's when it would be closest and when we'd be seeing possible impacts, but some models have been pushing it farther out to sea, which would lower the impact on our area. so take a look at the computer models. we have quite the spread here. yesterday most of the models were pretty south of the area, but now we're seeing quite a difference. i think a lot of the models are taking the approach of keeping it offshore. once it doe

the storm slamming the bahamas right now. a new forecast overnight now appearing to move away from the millions on the east coast. who's getting ready for it. >>> well, good friday morning. we begin with the new details on that tragedy in oregon. another school massacre leaving a tight-knit community shocked and racked by grief. >> as hundreds of mourners gathered for a candlelight vigil overnight sources identified the gunman as chris harper mercer. >> one witness said the shooter specifically targeted christians. ordering them to state their religion before opening fire. abc's brandi hitt joins us live from the campus in roseburg, oregon. good morning to you, brandi. >> reporter: good morning. this community is devastated this morning. we now know at least ten are dead from that shooting spree just beyond this police barricade, the campus three-quarters of a mile from here and so hard to imagine what the students and faculty went through, not knowing if they would make it out alive. >> we've got multiple gunshot wounds. >>

here's a look at the newest video in from the bahamas tonight. the hurricane in action, it may move away from the coastline as it heads north, but that doesn't necessarily mean we won't feel its effects. the two developing weather stories are why we issued a first alert advisory for the day. good evening, i'm keith jones. our coverage tonight consists of reporters in the field and a team of meteorologists in studio. we begin with glenn "hurricane" schwartz. glenn, you're focusing on the nor'easter hitting us right now. >> right. and what is hitting us right now is not directly related to the hurricane. we got bad enough weather even without one, but it's been kind of gloomy, it's been rainy, it's been windy, and it's been cold all day. you can see this steady rain continuing to move to the north. we're getting some breaks now down across southern delaware, so that's a sign of things to come. in the meantime, philadelphia area, points north, raining pretty much every minute for hours and hours and hours. more coming up from the south, so we're cer

and then, we're also watching joaquin, the east coast is on edge after the hurricane battered the bahamas, this morning we'll look at its projected path. it's 6:00 a.m. good morning. this is "nbc 10 news today." i'm tracy davidson. >> i'm vai sikahema. it is a first alert weather day today and it's causing a few schools to close. wildwood, north wildwood, the preschool program are closed along with the children's place of music and learning, as always find all of the closings on nbc10.com and the nbc 10 app. right to meteorologist bill henley. >> we issued a first alert based on the heavy rainfall and wind that is going to be moving in during the day. we have wind and rain, it's going to intensify as the day goes on. so far light steady rainfall, but heavy rainfall and strong gusty winds, the strongest winds at the shore. coastal flooding happened yesterday. along the atlantic coast. it's happening now and will likely get worse later this morning, this afternoon but it's not just the shore that can see the coastal flooding. flood warnings into the delaware river. beach erosion thanks to t

. >> what you're seeing right now is video from the bahamas where the storm can already be felt tonight. winds there are picking up as is the rain. >> and no one along the east coast are taking any chances. workers filling sandbags, just thanks for staying with us, everyone. >> still so many questions tonight about the storm. let's get right to chief meteorologist kevin lemanowicz with the latest models of the hurricane. >> ken. the answers are becoming a little clearer tonight, let me show you what's going on. this is the storm. you saw the satellite picture already, still sitting here in the central bahamas and doing major damage. a few of the pictures will come out to the outer islands by tomorrow. there are watches and warnings in place for the bohemian islands, and there's also tropical storm watches and warnings for the inner islands, winds 130, that's blowing all the time at 130 in the eye of the storm. moving west at 3 miles per hour. so a slow mover. slow enough that it's going to miss its ride to get pulled inland and pick up a ride in the jetstream out to sea. saturday evenin
