there is a possibility it could go more into the southeast u.s. right now, the model is pretty much in agreement, taking it away carefully. here's our 3-degree guarantee. i think we're going to be okay today. a tough call with the clouds now. 82 for the high. our average high is down to 79, or 80. so a little warmer than average. satellite picture, radar combined. can you pick out jose? 250miles east of hatteras. already, clouds rolling in. i think we're going to see clouds close to us. right now, just some clouds, dry. patchy fog late. we're going to stay dry tonight, i think in the immediate metro area, we stay dry tomorrow. 76 right now. winds north-northeast at 10:00. it will become breezy tomorrow. clouds, muggy, but dry. bus stop temperatures, 62 to 72. a little patchy fog. do not see a commuting problem with that though. breezywith showers east from by east, i mean, anne arundel county, maybe st. mary's county tomorrow. temps into the 80s. well into the 80s. fall arrives on friday. 10:00tonight, future cast has showers in. not buying that.

rainfall could get up to 20 inches in the track and catastrophic win damage and targeting the southeast u.s the end of the weekend and early next week. so this is the latest spaghetti not. they have really shifted from yesterday. yesterday the highest concentration was from the florida keys through the center of the florida peninsula. it has shifted more to the east, and the shift could continue back and forth, really anyone from florida to the outer banks has to watch the dangerous storm as it gets closer and it's time frame earlier in the weekend. and yes we have lingering rain essentially i-95 and areas to the north and west. west of media crossing route 3 norristown a batch of rain towards lands dale. and no thunder too cool for that and this is the stalled front pushing out through the overfight hours. what a difference in the air mass, yesterday 88 degrees is the high. philadelphia feels like fall. 65 degrees, allentown 60 and wilmington 71. satellite 6 along with action radar showing the stalled front that brings us moisture this continues to push to the east as we head through the o

high pressure is keeping it on the southern track, but by the time it approaches the southeast u.s. a little trough here and that should lift it northward. so, we do have a window. if it possibly could lift off and slide off to the east coast, but that window as mentioning is really starting to shut. let me give you show you the computer model. by friday sometime, we should start to see it turn to the right. sooner, the better. however, this is what we're looking at. until, jim, we see that turn to the right, we cannot give anybody a time or a place for land fall. so, this is critical. it is possible if it turns to the right later, it will slide up more in toward coastal areas of maybe the pan handle of florida, but again, we're hoping for this outcome, but again, that window is shutting. so, it looks like a major category 3, possibly 4 or 5 as we get into late sunday and of course monday which is september 11th. jim? >> absolutely. and folks in florida have to keep an eye on this, but lgs the gulf coast which has already taken a big punch. okay, tom, thank you very much. >>> hurric

further up, we expect this to be possible rainfall threatened to southeast u.s. moving on to storm surge, we have a storm surge warning area again for just south of the tampa area on the west coast. and up the east coast. again, because of the track, we want to emphasize the very vulnerable southwest florida area. we are looking at possible 8-12-foot storm surge from captiva area down to cape sable. and around the east coast, we are looking 5-10 feet from cape sable up to boca raton. north of boca raton, we are expecting a letter storm surge value at 360. water is going to be a particularly big issue for the storm, even on the east coast with rainfall amounts to 8-12 inches, local amounts up to 13 inches. the combination with the strongest really flow building up a storm surge in culmination of possible inland flooding is really going to be two types of flood hazards along the east coast. it's especially important to heed all the advice from the local officials, to evacuate when you are told to evacuate, even if you are in a high-rise building. where you are is w

now, she's got her sights on florida and the southeast u.s.. how bad can all of this get? i'll bring in weather bell meteorologist joe. joe, we've seen some pretty bad pictures coming out of st. martin, st. barts, next is puerto rico. how bad is this in your opinion so far and how much worse is it going to get? >> well, puerto rico is fortunately the core of the hurricane staying offshore so while they are getting hurricane conditions on the north coast, this is not nearly as devastating as is going to be for the turks & caicos island and eventually florida wherever it goes ashore and not as devastating on these islands that you referenced and the island of barbuda. i haven't heard any reports out of barbuda which took a direct hit late last nate and we're over 12 hours since this storm has left there so that is really something, but look, this is as bad a hurricane as big a potential for a hurricane in florida as they've ever seen that includes the 1947 west palm beach hurricane, the great labor day hurricane of 1935 through the florida keys. if you look at the tracks of

in the southeaster u.s. in georgia and south alabama it's hearty pine country. systems. there is going to be many of them knocking out power lines. it's hard to talk about this. but once you start to receive hurricane force winds, whether it is a gust or a wind -- i know this sounds frightening but we know from past experiences you want to get in the interior part of your house, obviously, like a tornado watch or warning. you want to stay away from windows. but they say once you start getting these winds make sure your shoes are on. sleep with them on if you have to. you have a helmet, motorcycle helmet or bicycle helmet, go ahead and put it on. if you have children do that as well. fill up bathtubs, any sinks -- any buckets, you are going to lose water if you lose power. if you have propane tanks put it outside. you don't want it inside your house if you have any kind of a leak. also get an ax, a chain saw, a hammer, whatever you can to take it up into the attic to escape if the waters get up to the roof. many people get to the attic but they can't get through.

really still just the early stages in florida and further to the north and southeast earn u.s.in texas it's in the recovery phase. we're trying to help people get back the to their homes. if they don't have homes, try to find new places for them to live and really starting them back on the road to recovery. >> let's talk about that as well. again, we are talking about two very catastrophic hurricanes, irma and harvey. in texas as well. when you think about the number of people who are without homes throughout this entire region, what is your organization doing to help people figure out their next steps? >> we're working with a number of partner agencies, especially fema in the u.s., to make sure that people are working on a plan to find new places to live. really our shelter populations, while incredibly high at the heights of the storm, 208,000 people in shelters all across the caribbean, and into the united states. so we have to start the process of getting people on the road to recovery by helping them make a plan. there are so many resources out there. one of the things the

some want to curve it out to sea some want to take it into the southeast u.s. here just off the southeast coastline, this is some very warm water, 85 to 90-degree water. if we get what is irma over this zone it could really blow up into a monster storm. that's why we have those concerns here. so, these are two big models. we call them the big two, the american gfs, in the yellow. watch right here as we work our way through the next few days. they're generally in agreement it will be traveling westward and will just miss some of these islands off to the north. we work our way into the end of the next work week, things start to diverge a little bit. this is next friday. this is the american starting to make a little bit northerly route european off to the south. we get into the next weekend time frame look at the big differences. one is up near our neck of the woods and the other is off the coast of florida. besides these we have plenty other models that say it's going to be a complete miss. we don't know which one is right yet. we encourage you to stay tuned and

u.s. southeast. we begin with senior correspondent adam housley on key largo in the direct path. >> good evening. the florida keys bracing for a direct hit, many who have never evacuated before have packed up and got out. >> i couldn't pack nothing. i have the clothes on my back. >> time is short before irma makes its advance with the first stop expecting to be in the florida keys. here, effects could be felt as early as friday night. >> there will be a handful of people staying. so we'll see what happens. if it gets real bad, we will take off. >> mandatory evacuations in place for the keys and much of south florida. >> if you are in the keys and so home, leave and get out. we can't save you after the storm starts. >> not everyone is ready to get out just yet. >> we are staying here. we're going to a friend's house. for going to ride it out. hopefully we are okay. >> tens of thousands already heeding the advice, departed by air, boat, car. roads jammed with traffic and snaking lines for gas, food, su

u.s. mainland? >> well, our thinking here is that our best thinking is that is going to approach the southeast coast, the weekend time frame and we expect it to continue up the coast. since this is four, five days out, there is a lot more uncertainty up here. we don't expect this to veer off into the atlantic. possible impacts in georgia to south carolina area early next week. >> and what about the velocity of this hurricane as it is moving? >> right now we expect it to maintain a major hurricane status, category 4, 5, all the way up to the southeast coast of florida. possibly a little weakening along the atlantic coast here, but we still expect a major hurricane to make landfall somewhere along the southeast coast, early next week. >> and, mark, is it way too early to anticipate how it may be affected once it hits the land? >> well, we think there will be -- close enough now, there will be some significant impacts in south florida. with the wind field, this is the size of the tropical storm force winds, which is wider than florida. we do expect some impacts of tropical storm and hurricane in south

they are just east of here and southeast of here. the u.s. virgin islands. st. martin, the destruction there was far greater because they were on the direct path of the storm. so, they are in a much harder situation. they've got to rebuild. start with infrastructure. everything that was made of concrete and cement, doing better than everything made of wood which means by the way that if you're on the higher end of the income scale, you're probably doing better because you were in one of those structures. on the lower end of the scale, chances are your house is gone if you're on one of those two islands. as far as the relief effort, i want to make an obvious statement of fact that is absolutely key here. we are talking about islands. what does that mean? you can't drive there. that slows down the speed with which you can bring relief and aid. so what we saw at the airport landing here in san juan, were u.s. air force planes that are headed and they've got an air lift going on to the u.s. virgin islands and that is as it should be the u.s. is bringing its resource
