weather channel meteorologist nick walker is here with the details. r this week i said you weren't going to have this happen, and now look, here we are. >> here we are. just stay out of the water, keep your boats out of the water. we should be okay. we are going to see a lot of waves here along the east coast. and those will begin from hurricane bill, even though it's weakened to a category 2 and will weaken some more as it moves toward the north. those waves will begin in florida all the way to cape cod sometime this evening, probably reaching their peak along k5i7 hatteras, north carolina tomorrow around 16 to 22 feet, then farther toward the north at about that level into sun. nova scotia could feel some wind. certainly some waves. but it's going to be a weaker hurricane by the time it gets there. 20 to 25-foot waves for them. erin? >> 20 to 25 feet? >> it's going to be a force to deal with up there. >> yeah, absolutely. nick walker, thank you very much. appreciate it. well, this morning the chatter on wall street was all about the surprisingly resi

we have a cover from the storm's track and begin with meteorologist nick walker. nick? >> we are looking at a strengthening hurricane. could very well have a major hurricane by the time we get to this evening or tomorrow. the u.s. air force hurricane hunters are getting ready to fly into the hurricane right now. it has a well-defined circulation and a large and well-defined high. that's around the central portion, butted get news is we expect this to take a normal turn, missing most of the antilles and grazing the northbound antilles and probably puerto rico, cuba, the coast of the united states will be spared as bill moves towards the north and then very close to permuda. you mentioned bermuda. they need to take precautions and get preparations in place. bill could make a close pass to bermuda by the early part of the weekend. >> then where does it go? the oil is in jeopardy and brian, what are you hearing? >> today's rally includes really a head scratcher for a lot of traders. some said maybe it had a little bit to do with the storm fears, but that would be reflected

weather channel meteorologist nick walker has the details. and what is the latest location, nick? >> well, it is right here near the antilles. it's not going to affect the antilles with devastating winds. certainly not of that 135-mile-an-hour variety. it is a major hurricane. actually, it could gain some strength as it takes a turn toward the northwest, then eventually toward the north, coming somewhere in between the united states and bermuda. the big effects we're going to feel here along the u.s. coast and in bermuda, most likely are going to be those pounding waves. we're also going to see rip currents. so just a bad, bad beach weekend shaping up. the good news is it's not going to be a devastating beach weekend. most of the winds staying well offshore. erin? >> bad but not devastating. i don't know what that means. until i get there. thank you very much. let's get down to the oil pits and brian schactman. brian, looks like this one's going to miss our gas tanks, but i know there are lots of storms forming. >> you know, it's just funny, we're up $3 today in crude. it has noth

nick walker joins us with the latest. i had again, nick. >> you are right.rday, but very powerful. a category three hurricane, a major hurricane, 120 miles an hour winds in the center. as it continues to move away from puerto rico and the leeward islands, they should subside a bit, but taking a turn towards the north and making the closest pass to the united states just off of cape cod. we will find hurricane-force winds from a weakened bill in the maritimes and bermuda is under a hurricane watch for hurricane force winds within the next 36 hours. what we are going have on the coast are increasing waves. to eight-foot waves by friday evening. 15 to 20-foot waves in bermuda and increasing big time into saturday. 30 to 40-foot waves and the waves increase into sunday along the new england coast. definitely not going to be a weekend you want to get near the water. fishermen need to stay away and swimmers stay onshore. official? >> thanks for the warning. up next, a slight dip in foreclosures. what is behind the move? the market is finally stabilizing. >> we wil

weather channel's nick walker joins us from atlanta with the latest. hi, nick. >> hi, sue, hi, mandy. take a look at a strengthening hurricane bill. very symmetrical system here. the eyewall has lots of thunderstorms in it, a very well-defined, large eye. obviously strengthening on the satellite. we may have a major hurricane on our hands by the time we get into later today or overnight tonight. right now, this is a category 2, 105 miles an hour winds in the center. in our, the u.s. air force hurricane hunters will be flying out into this later today. based on their findings, will determine whether or not we have that major hurricane. it looks as if it's getting closer and closer to the island here, but it looks like probably it's going to bypass the antilles, actually bypass most of the major land areas. an area of high pressure to the north, air flow around that high is going to be funneling it up farther toward the north. and as we get toward the weekend. bermuda, you're right here, this area. so you very well could see a close pass by the early part

the weather channel's nick walker in the latest. never had a hurricane named after me, nick. >> congratulations. dubious dishonor, i believe. >> indeed. >> claudette, a tropical depression, moving toward the north, a big-time rainmaker along the florida coastline. as it has been, crestview, florida, apalachicola, both received four inches of rain, still rain around the western panhandle. we get through the next couple of days, probably southern portions of billion bam, alabama and then the mississippi receive avy rainfall, watch out with he could see flash flooding with this. now, we have also got tropical depression anna, just struggling to maintain this tropical depression status, moving near puerto rico rate now, bring heavy rainfall to haiti and the dominican republic. also, we have got bill out here. and bill is probably going to continue to be the biggest one of this. hurricane, it is a strong category one right now, forecast to become a major hurricane. but look at this the path takes it well away from any land, except for ber

nick walker joins us with an update. >> bad news, good news, the bad news is we do have as you said, very strong powerful category 4 hurricane on our hands. bill with winds in the center of 135 miles an hour. we don't expect to see any winds like that on any land areas. probably going to feel the most affects from bill in terms of high waves and rip current. bill is a long, long way from the united states but it is expected to strengthen over the next 24 hours then turn more towards the north and weaken a bit as it comes somewhere in between the coast of the united states and bermuda. both areas will be affected by bill, not necessarily in terms of wind, but definitely in terms of waves. swimmers, you need to stay onshore and fisherman stay away from the jetties and breaking waves. from florida to cape cod, it will be a bad beach day. >> now you are calling me. you said bill there. i was ready to answer you. thank you. >> this one is for real. >> we've been mentioning here today that the bbc working on a tv movie about the last days of lehman brothers, it will be shown this fall. we'

the latest on tropical storm danny, the weather channel's nick walker joins us from atlanta a.owing down. >> it is. it's barely a tropical storm at all. certainly on the opposite side. even with a close pass of danny to the coast of north carolina, probably not going to get a lot of rain or wind. some possible here as we get through this evening and into tomorrow and that continues to accelerate northward affecting new england with wins and rain. we will get that anyway from this advancing area of low pressure and the front into the northeast. that's hard to tell how much is from the front and how much is from danny. it will be a blustery and rainy day throughout the new england area and towards the coast. bill? >> i think i had a 7:24 tee time. i'm out of luck. appreciate that. weather guys always have to bring you the bad news. we are asking your favorite overused chi shays in the workplace. i picked this out for you, sue. tom wants to explain. it is what it is. his translation is i can't do anything about it and neither can you. he also threw in hey, i hear you. the translat
