joaquin is a category three hurricane.ou can see it's still way to the south affecting and impacting the bahamas with the 125 mile an hour winds. it's moving to the southwest at six miles an hour. so it's still moving in a southwesterly direction, just crawling along. it is expected to stay put for the next 24 hours and then start smooth. the forecast track just updated from the national hurricane center has it increasing in strength to a category four by 8:00 tomorrow morning then heading to the north. this is where things start to change. it will run into the water that is not as warm as the south so it will start to weaken as it moves to the north. as it moves to the north, there's a chance it will take a turn back toward the coast but there are indications now that that may not happen as severely as it looked like it was going to happen earlier. it may not make landfall along the coastline and it may not happen into early next week even if it does make landfall. the joaquin forecast track at 8:00 monday morning puts it

hurricane joaquin gaining strength. everybody along the east coast wants to know exactly where it's headed. >> meteorologist sheena parveen joins us again. you've been watching the late etc. models, but still a lot of uncertainty. >> of course, with any hurricane you're going to have a level of uncertainty, especially when it's not moving in the direction that we expect it to move as far out in time as we expect it to go, but right now it's still around the bahamas, that would eventually send it up towards our area, at least offshore or potentially onshore, but at this point things do look to be getting a little bit more nailed down as much as we can with these updates coming in. winds 130 miles an hour, so it is a major storm and take a look at this amazing image of the storm now. now we're looking at the cloud cover within the storm. this is a very strong hurricane. you can see very well defined eye and once it makes that northern movement, i think we're going to have better model agreement. this is the updated track.

here's joaquin. you can clearly see it's eyes visible, you can see it's drifting more south and west. it's not making a move toward the north yet and that's why some of these tracks have been adjusted with this forecast. here's the main center track right now where you see it hovering in the bahamas for the next 24 hours then trying to make a move to the north, missing its connection to be pulled to the midatlantic and now the cone still includes long island and new york city but you can see how the main track has shifted offshore at least for now and that's later in the week even in to early next week that we're still watching this and that's why we can still have waves pounding ashore and gusty winds. the only thing that's a little unnerving is there's still a large spread in these computer models. our most reliable ones are starting to trend offshore. there are still several that want to bring this to the east coast. i can't say we're out of the woods though i like the trend going on. these rainfa

let's talk about joaquin, what we know. it is category four hurricane, that means, winds sustained 130 miles per hour, us landfall now less likely, the good news, looks like it is staying on shore, uncertainty as to how far out to sea it will go, little closer to the coast current look at it right now, it is category four again 130-mile per hour sustained winds, and this is the latest national hurricane center track, as you can see, it keeps it off shore, what much better scenario this is as we go throughout the day than we had yesterday or the day before so these are the models and you can see now some concensus, most of them coming together for the off shore track, and so that is what we are expecting as we get through our weekend. currently, 55 degrees in philadelphia, as we take live look at center city look at the wind, though, out of the northeast at 23 miles per hour. we still have a big concern, with wind, and rain today, taking a look if he future wind gusts see where we're going, we will be 43-mile per hour winds,

this has nothing to do with joaquin. joaquin now this track is trending more out to sea. we're happy about that. we still have to monitor it in case there are any changes because we're still within the cone of uncertainty. on the west side of it which is a better side. our rain and wind and coastal flooding is coming from this developing storm. that's joaquin way down here in the bahamas. it is pounding them as a category 4. winds of 130 miles per hour sustained and gusts of 140, 145 miles per hour. it starts to lift to the north on saturday. begins to slowly weaken from 3 down to 2. right now the tracks remember trending it offshore not giving it a landfall, however we're still within the cone of uncertainty here across our area but we're on the west side of it. trending more offshore. may miss new england too if it stays on that track which is great news. the jersey shore will have the highest impacts from the nor'easter type storm that's coming tomorrow. moderate to major coastal flooding, ten to 16-foot waves and wind gusts to 50 miles per hour. further north you go l

you see how far from joaquin so this is non-joaquin related but it is going to be a problem for us with rain and wind, especially, at the shore. so we have a coastal flood watch in effect, we have coastal flood warnings along the the shore, gale warnings for high wind, storm warnings off new jersey shore coast, a number for the day is a a two out of ten. we have a high temperature that will only be in the 50's, and high wind as well and then we're down to around 50 tonight. that is your weather authority forecast. lets get out to the shore and see what it is like. it is really rain and wind for you there. we have you covered, sabina. >> reporter: issue right now is the wind. you can see it gusting all around me. rain is light but at last check these wind 28 miles an hour. you can see we are here along the part of the ac boardwalk that was washed a away during super storm sandy. you can see they just started to, resolve it so memories are still fresh. you can tell by the way people are react to go threats of hurricane joaquin. beyond fencing here beyond there you can see those light hats

deal, no rain in joaquin? our radar signature ends around nassau in the bahamas. trust me, joaquin is filled with waters! and this moisture trail is pulling some of that moisture into that low pressure system along that front and it's going towel lie make its way into our area. so -- it's going actually to make its way into our area. so it's coming into our area on friday, leftover rain for saturday and sunday. it's all because it's buying into the new track of the system. category 4 right now, it's a 4, then a 3, then a 2, then a 1 off our shores. but as of right now, the skinny red line which we can't focus just on that stays offshore of the coastline of the eastern u.s. but the cone of concern still keeps almost all of new jersey and a good portion of the tri-state area in that cone. granted we're on the lower probability side but we are in the cone nonetheless so we don't let our guard down. here's how i see the next 7 days. friday 57. a wet weather day. saturday 62. still keep a chance for some wet weathe

its not associated with hurricane joaquin. this is potentially heavy rainfall for our area from a cold front that came through. now, during the day today, thursday, at 7:00 this evening, mostly cloudy skies, showers at the shore. no heavy rain here, as we go into friday, there is a potential for heavy downpours in delaware and new jersey, right along the coastline. during the day that, rain will be moving inland tomorrow and the potential for more heavy rain will be with us into saturday. look at that moving through, saturday morning, we can see more heavy rain. for today, though, umbrellas at times will be necessary. on and off showers are possible this morning, 65 in allentown, low 60s in quakeer town. this afternoon we could see raindrops for the shore, cape may, atlantic city, vineland in the lower 60s. the lighter showers today, heavier rainfall coming in later tomorrow. then the potential that we could feel the effects of joaquin. the latest information on joaquin when i'm back in ten minutes. as you like to say, come to

we get rain and wind courtesy of joaquin. joaquin still a long way away, impacting the bahamas and still moving to the west-southwest at five miles an hour, 120-mile-an-hour winds, some strengthening. it should be weakening as it's expecting to come up the coast. the next few days, we see linger into the bahamas and make a turn to move to the north. so way away from us as we're heading into the weekend. by sunday morning, early in the morning, that is still offshore. this is the latest just updated hurricane forecast track from the national hurricane center. but at that time it will be impacting the carolinas. and the latest scrap the official track keeps it just offshore. but what's important to look at where those icons are, is this much larger area and this is the potential area for where it could be at 2:00 on monday morning. so there is a possibility it could be just off the delaware beaches. there is also a possibility it will be parked into the carolinas or farther offshore. but early tuesday it's still an issue for us

. >>> and we're tracking hurricane joaquin. it's now a category 3 storm and could get even stronger. >> yeah, the storm could bring a lot of rain. preparations under way from the jersey shore to long island. >>> good morning, i'm ken rosato. >> and thank you for joining us, i'm shirleen alcot in for lori stokes. it is thursday, october 1st. you are never seven minutes away from weather and traffic. meteorologist bill evans here now with exclusive accuweather forecast diswhrvment well, first things first. we have one storm that affects us today and then we have joaquin for sunday into monday, so let's get started with what's happening this morning. it's windy, it's cloudy, it's chilly, so you need the gear to keep you warm. you need the wind breaker, you need the sweater. it's 57 degrees. we're going to be 20, 25 degrees cooler today and it's windy. so we're looking at 57 murray hill, riverdale 54, whitestone 56. up to the north 48 monticello. so cooler, albeit, let's just call it colder air has poured in here from the north. yo

ben: what about joaquin? >> meteorologist: that is the main weather story, still a category 4 storm maximum sustained winds at 130 miles per hour, gusts of 155, that is a big one, largest we obscene in atlantic waters for quite a while still meandering around in the bahamas, right over them. those folks are dealing with that for quite a while. we will give you more details and a second and show you what is happening. this has nothing to do with joaquin but we have coastal flood watches and flood watches in effect in the tristate depending where you are but is a messy set up, coastal flood advisories, at times of high tide, flooding issues will be one of our big things largely because of a northeast wind, this has nothing to do with joaquin, it is a stall out front boundary that gives us northeast wind, with all this rain and cool temperatures out there too, 53 central park, in montauk, and we are on the colder side of the frontal boundary, and afternoon and evening made a come back. on a lighter side but stea

and then there is joaquin. joaquin now a powerful category 4 storm with 130-mile-per-hour winds, continues to just pound the central bahamas. barely moving along, now at northwest at 3 miles an hour. so it started to make its turn that we've been predicting for some time. that will take it just to the north by early tomorrow morning. still as a strong category 4, finally pulling away from the bahamas which has been pounding now for days. that northerly track, becomes more northeasterly. a big shift in the last 24 hours for what the models are expecting, now takes it to the northeast and some weakening, could be a concern for bermuda but at this time it's going to pass to the west of bermuda and well to the east of the east coast of the united states. so the threat for now looks to be diminished from joaquin. but joaquin still has a long way to go and the models can shift more so we'll be watching joaquin closely. today, you'll need your umbrella. heavy rain at time, allentown, reading, 50 this is afternoon. 54

also, hurricane joaquin, where is it headed? weather and traffic on the 4s coming up. >>> a live look there at times square. 6:14 right now on this friday morning. that means it's time for weather and traffic on the 4s. we check in with chris cimino as we're watching what's going on with the various weather systems that we're worried about. >> two big players out there right now. the first one impacting us as we speak. just the beginning of it in the form of light rain and increasing wind. that rain will be on and off throughout the day. also increased in intensity as we go into the evening hours. the rain sticks around through the evening hours. coastal flooding is the real concern around here, especially along the jersey coastline. joaquin looks like it will stay safely out to sea. what we're looking at between now and into tomorrow is low pressure along the carolina coast that's going to move up the coast. pressure and low pressure creates what we call a tight pressure gradient. that increases the wind strength along the coas

the possibility of joaquin. people along the jersey shore say that they are activating the, tovar will start building sand there years. all for what may come. >> i cannot believe it. preparing for the hurricane again. >> three years. it is still too soon. that is exactly the spot these residents find themselves in this morning. >> stock up on canned goods. batteries. candles. >> reporter: situated between tovar and spring lake. hurricane joaquin strengthened to a category three storm last night. still hundreds of miles away, residents here are not taking any chances. >> the cost would not be so much for the town, but for the residents. >> reporter: the storm could produce. oh wins. for now, we will all just wait and watch joaquin's every move. people down here have had a lot of practice. we are hearing that it will likely be friday or saturday. that is the latest from belmar this morning. ben: thank you very much. new york city also getting ready liz: hit hard by superstore c&d three years ago. sand dunes are be

there is joaquin, forecast track from the hurricane center keeps it well offshore. we don't get in on the wind action, certainly don't get the rain. high temperatures today the next couple days pretty raw, highs in the 50s, windy as well and finally see drier skies by monday which is when we could have seen joaquin. doesn't look like that is happening right now as it stands. let's bring in ines. ines: we have some problems, bronx parkway south bound, cross county parkway, two lanes blocked with an accident, la guardia came out with a new update arrival, 65 to 90 minutes, not even 7:00, departure 30 to 45 minutes because of wind conditions, jfk and newark reporting an hour delay on a rival. call ahead because it is not looking good. route 80 in new jersey, expect delays as you pass exit 58 madison avenue, the flashing getting through, tractor dramas jackknifed so right and center lanes blocked, east bound you are fine, trains doing good it's not about hugging trees. it's not about being wasteful either. you just gotta find that balance. where taking care of yourself

, and then joaquin over the weekend.r scattered showers, with bus stop buddy and the rain gear today. temperatures are actually a little cooler than they were yesterday. we go with a three out of ten today, because the next couple of days are going to have very low weather by the numbers, because of this nasty weather ahead. don't look for at love sunshine h little yesterday. could be little today. we have kind i conditions, temperatures fall in the 60s, in the 60s now, bottom out at about 55 degrees, not a lot of movement with temperature because of all of the clouds heavy rains move in tonight, winds gust to up 25 miles per hour, if you think this is nasty wait until you see what's ahead, the latest track of joaquin coming up in just a few moments. >> folks are hitting the brakes on weekend plans, all eyes on the weather center. live look the schuylkill expressway, out near king of prussia. no problems at all into or out of the city. looking good into and out of up and down 202, as well, into king of prussia. ben frank

joaquin is not done strengthening. expected to reach category 4 status with winds of 140 miles per hour, eventually pulling out of the bahamas by late friday into saturday. then we're looking at the landfall time frame after sunday. sunday night potentially in the mid-atlantic and towards the carolinas, virginia, as a weaker storm. if the storm parallels the coast more, it would be in our region monday night into tuesday morning as a potential weak hurricane or strong tropical storm. coastal flooding not related to joaquin is a concern right now, in fact, through high tide this morning and again tonight. this is minor. the winds piling on the water there. tomorrow, another coastal flooding watch in effect. also, the winds are picking up out there. high pressure giving us a little squeeze. we have these winds coming in off the water tomorrow morning through saturday. we're talking about winds gugs gusting up to 60 miles per hour. we could even have some power outage, especially as we head to south of the city through th

we're continuing to track hurricane joaquin. and it is looking like the storm will spare new england. this is cat four. 1300 miles away from boston wind speeds 130 miles per hour. moving slowly about 3 miles per hour. welcome back everyone. >> hurricane joaquin visible from space. this picture shot by scott kelly station showing how massive it looks from outer space. it looks like these will be spared. we have wet weather to deal with ourselves. let's get over to jr and talk about that. >>> we are talking about patches of light rain around the metro. north of down merrimack valley worcester hills dry. i think may be the scene for much of the morning hours. if you have outdoor plans later this morning this afternoon perhaps the art work or golf r tennis you may get that accomplished across southern new hampshire. further south along the south shore and south coast. forget it the day lost to rain. indoor activity. steady rain all day long from chathem even as well as the islands. these locations upward of an inch of rain. you noti

hurricane joaquin is making its way north and new jersey already under a state of emergency today and we have more on that in just a moment. lets check in with nora muchanic, and adam joseph and cecily tynan. we cannot overlook the system right now. >> the next 48 hours at the shore is very dangerous but in the same token we have a powerful dangerous hurricane near the bahamas and hurricane joaquin is now a category four with winds sustained at 134 miles per hour. it's a classic looking hurricane, with circular motion and there is the eye in the middle and now it's drifting to the south and west and has not made the turn to the north yet and it eventually will over the next 12 to 24 hours, the storm has deepened because of the very warm waters down near the southern atlantic and temperatures in the mid to upper 80s, that is where it's getting its juice from, we take a look at the spaghetti plots, there is still a widespread where it could go, however the general trend now is to keep it over the open waters over the atlantic as it shifts away from the coast and push its to the east. ve

it's well ahead of joaquin.hat sets the stage for widespread flooding and rain totals could exceed 10 inches and we have a powerful storm and you want to plan now to make sure you're ready to act when joaquin moves in this weekend. i'm meteorologist eric fisher for cbs news. >> we will have the very latest on hurricane joaquin coming up on "cbs this morning." >>> overseas now. afghan officials say early this morning, government troops recaptured the key northern city of kanduse from taliban fighters. afghan forces were aided by u.s. air strikes and advisers. the taliban captured the p p p proven shull capital early this week. the u.s. says the target was syrian opposition fighters. russia carried out its first air strike in syria yesterday. the strikes were not near where u.s. aircraft operate and the targets, according to the u.s. officials, were in areas controlled by troops fighting to overthrow syrian president bashar al assad. >> the result of this kind of action will inevitably simply be to inflame the civ

now we'll talk about hurricane joaquin. what i just showed you, that's the first round of weather moving in, not related to the hurricane. the hurricane still well to the south, way around the bahamas, very far away, still a category 4 major hurricane, winds sustained at 130 miles an hour, but it's still moving away from us. it's still going to meander before it finally turns to the north and this is the updated track. putting it closest to us by monday, into tuesday, so the timing has slowed down a little, but the cone wider farther out in time and the uncertainty with where the storm will be going. once it starts to move north, models will have a better idea where it's going to be heading. right now we're watching for the turn. first we saw the cool down. you feel it outside and now we're going to see that rain moving in tomorrow, very strong onshore wind, so that area of low pressure is going to be giving us quite a bit of rain. then we'll be watching hurricane joaquin. that storm will be heading to the north as of now t

right now joaquin has set its sights to the bahamas. and new images of the severe flooding crippling that island and cars and homes sub-americanned with joaquin lamming into the area. and get over to chief meteorologist pete bouchard. a new advisory? >> i do, battering the southern bahamas and wobbling, essentially a stall right now and expected to continue to move a little more to the west, and then northwest and due north. and the movement is there, at three miles an hour, still a category 4. and we show the new track, and it is decidedly offshore, far offshore of our islands on the east coast, sparing any portion of the united states. and even our friends in south eastern canada, these are the tracks that bring in monday and tuesday, as it weakens in the colder waters and the national hurricane center's track is of the models that we used to make of 7 news forecast, and our model and the europian model and we can say with confidence it will spare the eastern u.s. and new england. of any ill effect and maybe some wave action and that

hurricane joaquin is sunday into monday. what you're feeling today is not hurricane joaquin. you're seeing clouds overhead. you are seeing a passing shower here. and you see all this moisture. it's not hurricane joaquin. that's a front. a low pressure system going right along that front and back in on friday. so cool and breezy today. and much of the area dry. some showers to the south. tomorrow it's a different story. we have coastal concerns. we're going to see the wind intensify but stationary nature of the front, a low pressure riding along it. and that's going to kick in some rain. so friday night fun looks like so make sure you're ready for that. take advantage of today to prepare for the weekend. saturday, i don't think it's a washout but it's going to be windy and it's going to be gray and not that warm. it's sunday night into monday, that's when we really feel the punch of hurricane joaquin. some models take it into the mid-atlantic. some have it flirting with our area. definitely wind will intensify. i know there's so many weekend events this weekend. going to be wa

so, these are rains that have nothing to do with joaquin.ut this is what would have been here anyway, and what is here now. so we've got some rain this morning, in new castle county, delaware, in parts of new jersey, including burlington county, around tabernacle, mt. laurel, and that's waterford there getting some rain. we also have in southern delaware, some rain, as well as central delaware this morning. so, scattered showers around, before joaquin, we have heavy rain, possible, especially tonight, and tomorrow, looks like very rainy day. we could get one to 3 inches on top of what we already had. gusty winds, inland, 25 to 35-mile per how wind gust along the shore 45-mile per hour wind gust or more. and that's today through saturday. so, we're looking at joaquin's possibility of several more inches of rain, and that is sunday into monday, as we just showed you, winds over 40 miles an hour, coastal flooding possible beach errosion, that's probably the worse case scenario from this storm. but we will keep an eye on that. we're still workin

now, to hurricane joaquin. this is the northern end of brigantine and they are piling up sand to close up the entrances to the beaches and they are concerned about the ocean escaped the beach, that is where the ocean meets the bay, all over the jersey shore they are preparing for the worst, and we are on the hurricane watch with "action news" reporters trish hartman and eva pilgram and meteorologists, cecily tynan and adam joseph. >> the path made a big jog to the east than is really good news, part of the reason why is this is an extremely strong hurricane, a cat four extremely dangerous hurricane, packing sustained winds at 135 miles per hour and you can see how the eye wall is deepening and a storm like this, it's hard for an upper level low to capture, i'm talking all week how this storm would have to be captured by an upper level low and pulled inland, when have you a strong storm like that, it's like a boulder rolling downhill, and trying to change the path, it's difficult to do, part of the reason why it

and what joaquin is doing.n, this is something that has intensified so quickly. >> reporter: you're right. this is going to be a one-two pun punch. there's a stock coming up and then for the end of the weekend and early next week. now we're dealing with just a few sprinkles and some light rain. that's the way it a going to be throughout the remainder of the day. heavier rain picking up today and tomorrow. rain showers throughout the day. we've got your full forecast for the day and talking about hurricane joaquin in 17 minutes. >> good morning. we have a little bit of a problem on 270. that's because of an earlier crash. montrose looks like they've cleared that out. don't have to worry about that. a little slow to germantown. you can see the beltway there. top of the beltway, outer loop, taking you 30 minutes. colesville, 24. >>> nuz 4 working to protect your money. you're supposed to have an upgrade to one item inside your wallet to protect you from fraud. what to do if you haven't received it. >> we have a lo
