now to meteorologist bonnie snyder for the latest on maria's track. we already saw that it's pretty severe conditions already. >> this is just the beginning because we still haven't seen the eye get close yet to puerto rico. right now it's working its way to vee ache questions just to the east of the main island. there's still so much more to go. torrential conditions beginning now will last into the evening hours. maria is a category 5 right now 70 miles from southeast of san juan with maximum winds at 160. since it's moving to the northwest at ten, we will see the eye wall get close if not make landfall in the northeast corner of puerto rico. but notice the track of the storm coming over the cooler waters of the atlantic and that cone of uncertainty stretching wide as we get into the weekend. there's a lot of the factors coming into play as to what the storm maria will do and whether or not it will impact the u.s. luckily right now, models are saying that jose or what's left of it will help steer maria away from the u.s. mainland. that's not a guara

meteorologist bonnie snyder joins us now with more on irma. >> well, philip and frances, unfortunately the storm has not weakened at all overnight. this is a powerful massive category 5 hurricane. look at that well defined eye. this is where the strongest winds are in the eye wall at 185 miles per hour. it's really hard to believe these are unusual storms to see something so big. you can see watches and warnings posted across much of the caribbean including portions of cube a. let's look at the latest position of the storm, looking at the satellite perspective. again, well defined, winds at 185, five miles north of barbuda but bearing down on that island. the track takes it as a category 5 straight through thursday. uncertain once we get to the weekend, but certainly florida in that cone of uncertainty. keep in mind this skinny line you see here coming close to key west isn't necessarily exactly the line of the path. it's kind of an in between, between the cone of uncertainty. so, now is the time to make your preparations across the southeast for powerful hurricane irma. really unfortu

we'll check in with bonnie snyder if in just a few minutes. >>> now to politics. new details in the russia investigation. the "new york times" reporting special counsel robert mueller has obtained a draft letter created for james comey. the letter was met by opposition who believed that its angry, meandering tone was problematic according to interview wes a dozen administration officials and others briefed on the matter. >>> meanwhile, president trump is facing growing calls from republicans, including house speaker paul ryan, to keep daca in lace. a decision on the so-called dreamer program had been expected this weekend, but is now pushed to tuesday. joining me now, ginger gibson, political correspondent for reuters and dave lawler. great to have you both this morning. dave, i want to start with you and the white house's delay on daca. what do you think the suspect is factoring into this calculation between now and tuesday? >> yeah. it's interesting. we've heard all along that trump was leaning towards ending daca. but part of the speculation is if he was going

bonnie is snyder, thanks for that. >> crews in oregon are fighting a massive wildfire getting help froms say that the spread of the eagle creek fire looks to be slowing as winds begin to weaken. now winds topping 130 miles per hour helped the fire to double in size, spreading to 10,000 acres. more than 30 miles off of interstate 84 have been shut down as thick smoke blankets the area. officials say the fire was started saturday evening unfortunately with a teaming aer playing with a fireworks. >>> and congress 'sheriff david clarke has a new gig. clarke is joining the trump-aligned super pac of america first action as a senior adviser and spokesman. and saying it is an honor to join the group because it allows him to do what he loves most, quote, promote donald trump's agenda. clarke who resigned as milwaukee's sheriff last thursday is an avid supporter of president trump. clarke also sought a job at the department of homeland security earlier this year but also was reportedly blocked by kelly who was running the agency at the time. >>> all right. the city council of charlottesville, vi

here's bonnie snyder with hurricane irma's track. >> we are looking at a power category 5 category with hour. let's take a closer look because the track shifted a little bit probably since overnight that maybe you last saw the advisories. a category 5, but watch what happens as the storm works its way to the north/northwest. eventually florida in that cone of uncertainty. but really it's the -- watching that turn to the north. when will it occur? it looks like in our latest runs that we're seeing it occur a little sooner and a little bit further east than what we saw earlier. so let's take a closer look at the spaghetti models. this shows you a lot of the consensus of the models more recently have been shifting further east. this is really a good point because we want to make sure everyone in the southeast is on alert for irma, including those in georgia, coastal areas across the carolinas as well. so still a changing situation with the track of the storm. but in the short term, this is what we can expect. destructive winds, heavy surf and torrential downpours for puerto rico and the tu
