. >> for the very latest let's bring in the meteorologist janessa webb. where do things stand right now? >> this is an unfortunate situation for the grand bahamas right now. you said about 5 miles an hour with the latest update currently moving out of the west at 1 miles an hour. so basically what's happening is this storm system is starting to stall out. and that is just unfortunate. this is catastrophic for the grand bahama where about 50,000 people reside in that area and it's currently dark and the eye of the system continues to make its way to the west. now, what we're doing to see is just this steering mechanism hopefully before it starts to creep well to the north here. we'll start to see the transition of this storm system. but right now, we still have hurricane warnings also this just in from the national hurricane center at 6:00 a.m. hurricane warnings have been issued for coastal areas of south florida here. also, tropical storm warnings. what that means the next 24 to 36 hours we could see that tropical flow hurricane force winds starting to p

. >> let's turn now to nbc meteorologist janessa webb to see what she's watching ahead. a little disturbance >> a little circulation we're watching here that's sitting in the gulf we're not going to see this organize very quickly. there is a very low chance for a potential storm here but we are going to see accumulation look at this, up to 5 to 7 inches in parts of houston locally up to 8 inches so watching flooding for the next few in the mid 90s. >>> take a look at temperatures coming up. >> sounds good, janessa. thank you. >>> speaking of when it rains it pours, that's the case for jets on monday night football they were already down their starting quarterback sam donald. back up quarterback trevor siemian got knocked out of the game that forced their practice player front and center. look at that catch leading the browns to an easy 23-3 victory but the jets, they aren't the only team with quarterback problems after hurting his elbow on sunday, steelers ben roethlisberger will undergo season ending surgery. >> the nation's highest civilian honor and not live from new

. >> nbc meteorologist janessa webb has been tracking the storm all morning. and melvin is bracing for the impact. janessa, you say it's slowly slowing down here. and this is bad news. >> yes, it's slowing down and this is a bad thing. bahamas on our radar with hurricane warnings and tropical storm warnings put in place here. bahamas is a very level elevation and we are talking storm surge 10 to 15 feet, this will be catastrophic for this island. we are seeing rain bands starting to hit that area. you saw it in our live shot. waves are already starting to pick up here. we're talking about sustained winds of 150 miles per hour. people have been asking me do i think this will go into a cat 5? if it's going to happen, it's going to be happening in the next one 20 two hours here with the movement currently at 8 miles per hour. the reason i say that is because this storm system going to dramatically slow down. as it steers to the north and west, i potentially think here by monday, tuesday, this storm will only flow about two to three miles per hour here. as it makes

let's get a check on our weather with janessa webb. two very different stories unfolding across the country. >> if you're not ready for wirnt winter, it's time to get ready for the pacific northwest. for the northeast the game is going to change. we're sitting in the 90s. by next week i want you to break out the heavier coat. that cold front is headed our way. you saw in that package, we had reports of about three feet of snow. now getting reports of over 40 inches for portions of montana. that's nearly half of their average snowfall for the year, and that is really going to continue for at least the next two hours. you have that dividing line of the record cold, the record heat that will continue to build. let's talk about the east half of this system ahead of that cold front. look at daytime highs. some spots, omaha, st. louis today upper 80s to lower 90s. now, the great news, no alerts are in effect for the southeast mid-atlantic, and the northeast this afternoon, but this is just well above normal. 15 to 20 degrees above average. t

. >>> and now for a look at hurricane humberto with nbc meteorologist janessa webb janessa, what's going on >> we have a big storm system that has gained strength over the weekend. we've been talking about it all weekend long it was a tropical storm here now it has strengthened. it's over a large body of water where temperatures are in the mid-80s here and so that rapid intensification phase is really going to continue to happen. now the great news here, we're not going to see landfall in any sho shore areas really impacted by humberto sustained winds of 75 miles per hour moving out of the northeast at 3 miles per hour. but watching the track south today upper midwest, look at that, the upper 90s. so we're at the peak of hurricane season here. the good news with this storm system well offshore. >> we like saying that, the good news part of that system thank you, janessa >>> we now turn to the wnba play-offs. the las vegas aces have made into it the semifinals after this nail biting moment. >> that's a dangerous pass >> the aces were down two points against the chicago sky with less than

. >>> good morning, everyone, i'm meteorologist janessa webb. we have a powerful cat 5 sitting across the grand bahama right now. what's happening is this storm system is about to stall out across that area here. we're seeing sustained winds of 165 miles per hour. that has reduced here in the last 24 hours, but this is just an unfortunate situation for the freeport area. the backside of this storm system getting hit with a heavier band. the next 36 hours, this storm system will not veer to the right. we are waiting for our next update here. this is about 20 miles now from the coast of florida, so watching it very closely, even for south carolina to north carolina, by thursday afternoon. we're still seeing sustained winds of 100 miles per hour. we're going to keep you updated throughout the morning. >>> welcome back to this special edition of kasie dc. alongside me, tracking hurricane dorian, bill karins. we have a team of reporters in the east coast and in the bahamas. a brand new update. you have it. what's the latest? >> it's just an intensity

let's go to meteorologist janessa webb with the latest on all this. insult to injury times ten, it feels like. >> exactly, alex. this has only been two weeks here and now we're in the peak of hurricane season. now, new developments with this storm system. hurricane hunters have flew into this storm and they're finding it, what we don't want to see, stationary. so, right now it's 30 miles east-northeast of the great abaco island. if this doesn't move, we're going to have another prolonged event here of sustained winds of at least 40 to 50 miles per hour, and then rain accumulation up to about 4 inches. so, latest track here from the national hurricane center. this does become a hurricane, but it's going to be well offshore. the florida coast here, we're not seeing any threat for heavy rain here, but it's the storm surge, the heavy waves that are really going to make their way in. so, even by tuesday, the sustained winds up to 90 miles per hour. the longer humberto sits in an open body of water in temperatures in the upper 80s here, it's going to gain s

. >> and for the very latest let's bring in meteorologist janessa webb. you have been watching this storm since the weekend. how do things look right through? >> i wish i had better news for the bahamas here. it continues to get worse as this storm system has started to stall out right now it's out of the west at 1 miles per hour. throughout the weekend we saw about 8 miles per hour yesterday, it diminished to 5 miles per hour. this is slower than a walking pace here. it will completely stall out potentially here in the next few hours and then it's going to hover over fremont here and that's what's really going to cause the catastrophic storm surge and the major flooding in that area. so this was record setting throughout the weekend here with the sustained winds of 185 miles per hour but we saw gusts up to 220 miles per hour. so we haven't seen a storm like this in years for the bahamas. with that rapid intensification phase that is starting to gradually die down now, this is just a historical storm system. i do want to start talking about some live data

let's turn i÷ over to t(janessa webb. xdlatest. >> we've already seen three landfalls from hurricane dorian, we've been talking about it for thee1 last 14 days now. not setting any records with thisqe1 storm system, but it's n a solid two weeks for it to form as a tropical xdstorm. sustained winds at 85 miles per hour. still a cat 1 here. it has gained some momentum. that will be the case here for 9ñe1 the nationalfá hurricane center still advising here, we're going to be dealing with hurricane-force winds throughout the next 6 to 12 hours. the longer it continues to sit the longer it continues to sit in this w!jf body of wate2k where temperatures are currently in the mid 80s, it's going to gain that t(momentum. right now we are looking at a hurricane, a cat 1e1 for novaxd scotia here. it will turn subtropical by sunday. sunday. we han nova scotia in atx1 least 11 years. this will be a big-time event with the storm surge, it's going to be significant in that area.3 also the hazardous conditions throughout the day across c

. >> meteorologist janessa westbound webb is with us. >> forecasting right now, we're not going to potentiallyall here with the center of the eye. but we do have an outer eye and then you have those rain bands. those still could cause major damage and the major floodings, so even though we're not going to see the center of the eye hit land, we still are going to have a big-time event here. let's check out the latest here. we do have sustained winds of 150 miles per hour. i think with the latest update you're really going to notice the slowdown. we are talking about monday into tuesday this storm system slowing down out of the northwest to, i think, about 3 to 2 miles per hour. that's walking pace for some people here. so it's going to slow down and you're going to have the heavy wind sheer, the major flooding and the storm surge. it's still going to hit coastal areas of florida, so orlando, jacksonville, you're really going to see the storm surge potentially up to 5 to 10 feet here with the winds. we still have that major hurricane phase. so as it makes its way across georgia into north caroli
