. >> meteorologist eric fisher of our boston station wbz says after hermine leaves florida, it will continue to pack a punch as large impact and that is going to include many more people up and down the east coast. here is a look at the latest track. just along the coastline. it moves up through the carolinas and then it's going to move just out to sea as we head into the weekend. this is the tricky part of the forecast. the cone becomes a big circle as we head into sunday and monday. the reason for that is it's going to run up into an area of high pressure and stop. and so it stalls here off the jersey shore. slowly weakens overim stalling motion is going to have a big impact on the oceans and coastal erosion. so, number one, we have got a lot of heavy rainfall. flooding potential through georgia, south carolina and columbia area and up across eastern north cool and tide water area could see inches of tropical heavy rain. the system will stall out and jersey shore, wind gusts 60 miles an hour across the atlantic and leading to power outages and very rough storm. several days of onshore flow

for the latest we turn to eric fisher, chief meteorologist at our cbs boston station, wbz. eric, good morning. >> good morning, to you jane. we're watching hermine in a shift overnight moving a bit farther off toward the east. we're looking at now storm warnings extend from new york to connecticut down across the coast of the mid atlantic as well as tropical storm watches around cape cod and martha's vineyard. the track keeps the center off shore, it's going to move very slowly over the next couple of days. the big concern continues to be a large wind field, just going to sit and generate a lot of surf throughout the day today, throughout monday this is likely go to be the peak day. then slowly off to the north and east. doesn't look like a big maker. our main concerns strong coastal winds, look at areas of coastal flooding also a lot of beach erosion. jane. >> pauley: all right, eric, thank you very much. at the vatican today, pope francis led a mass canonizing the late mother theresa as a saint. more than 100,000 filled st. peter's square honoring the nun who worked among

meteorologist at our cbs station in boston wbz. and eric, how do you see this playing out? >> reporter: well, maurice, i don't like what i see over these last few hours. certainly hermine has been strengthening as it approaches florida and looks every inch a very potent hurricane this evening. it makes landfall and moves along the eastern seaboard. it moves quickly at first but then it's full stop just off shore of atlantic city. here it will sit and drift for several days. that poses a couple problems for atlantic, especially on sunday, our strongest winds, which could gust over 60mph at the shoreline, but because it will be moving very slowly, just drifting over time and weakening over time, it's going to stack up a lot of surf and a lot of on-shore flow. so from southern new england, from long island and especially the jersey shore down toward virginia, we could see significant coastal erosion from this storm, and this might be one of the biggest impacts felt in the mid-atlantic this weekend. >> dubois: okay, meteorologist eric fisher watching hermine tonight. florida re
