let's get the latest from vivian brown. another hurricane on the horizon, vivian, and by tonight? >> i know, veronica, we're talking about katia. actually, there are two systems we're concerned with, but let's talk about katia first of all. here's the latest with winds of 65 miles an hour, it's moving west to northeast at 21, and you can see that it's about 1,000 miles west of the cape verde islands, but because it's moving away we are very, very concerned. here's a look at the projected path. take a look, by saturday morning we're talking about this system becoming a category two hurricane, and by labor day morning, it could be a major hurricane, not just a hurricane, but a major hurricane with winds of 120 miles an hour. the thing about it is all of the overall model tracks, if you will, are consistent, and i was speaking with our hurricane expert, dr. rick nabb, and he said all of these tracks are plausible, so definitely watching katia very, very closely. there's the tropical wave we are watching. >> looks like we lost her signal. that was vivian brown with the latest on katia

let me bring in vivian brown for the latest on the track of this storm. where is it? where's it going? >> this is the monster that we are bracing for along the east coast. right now as you mentioned it is moving across the central bahamas. we did have reports of some devastation around the turks and caicos. this system is a very big one. i mean i don't to understate it. it's a category three hurricane that has the potential to become a category four with winds up to 130 miles per hour as it moves across the northern bahamas. again, this is the very latest. winds of 115 miles per hour which does make it a major hurricane. it is moving to the northwest at 12 miles per hour. now this is the projected path. as you notice as it moves into the northern bahamas near free port and nassau it could have 135 miles per hour winds making it a category four. once it moves north of the bahamas it will move back into open waters, we think it will stay east of florida. that is the good news. the bad news as it moves northward toward the outer banks of north carolina that's why we're e

meteorologist vivian brown is tracking the storm for us from the weather channel's headquarter in atlanta. vivian, what is the latest information we've received? >> i'll tell you, tamron, this is the monster storm that we are bracing ourselves for along the east coast. as you mentioned, it is moving across the central bahamas right now. we have the newest 2:00 advisory. the winds have been upped from 115 to 120 miles an hour now. it is still a category 3, and a very, very strong hurricane. we're anticipating very extensive damage across the central bahamas with these 120-mile-an-hour winds. in fact, as it moves closer to nassau, the winds could increase even more so making it a category 4 with expected 135-mile-an-hour winds. a very, very dangerous storm as it moves across the central into the northern bahamas. again, extensive and devastating wind damage expected here. destructive storm surge could be a problem as well as flooding over the area. now once it moves north of the bahamas on friday, we're expecting it to possibly weaken a little bit, but it will still be a category 3 hurrican
