we've learn you don't have to pay attention the centerline. the cone is determined by the average forecast air and when you get out here about five days the forecast air is about 250 miles in elter direction. for the first time with jose in the cone of uncertainty is the outer banks, ocean city, jersey shore, new york city, long island, connecticut, rhode island and southern portions of massachusetts. the reason why is because our computer models overnight trended a little bit closer towards the coast here as we take the lines to the north. here's our squiggly lines. our different computer models that tell us what jose will do. this is the general trend towards eastern new england. we'll continue to monitor this. if you're in the coastal areas of new england have your hurricane preps now, do it early just in case the storm does come our way. have all the water and everything which you should have had at the beginning of the season. >> can take a breath this hurricane season. >>> police have declared this morning's incident in london a terroris
