and same for west palm beach. that's when we start getting bad and by the time we go through this evening, 9:00, 10:00, 11:00. the eye of the storm just off west palm beach in the hurricane winds. and the weak side of the storm. this is the northeast quadrant of the storm. instead of the 140-mile-per-hour winds, maybe like 100 to 120 for west palm beach. still a ton of disaster. that's a lot of destruction. that's windows being blown out of the high-rises. a lot of tree damage and maybe roofs being blown off the homes and through this evening, we take the eye, may not get landfall. we may have the eye off shore with the eye wall on the coastline in the northern portion where the worst storm surge will be at 2:00 p.m. as we wake up tomorrow morning, this is just a nightmare scenario. we're talking a category possible 4 storm on the coast for 24, 36, maybe 48 hours. this is another one of our computer models just to show you, many different ones. this one targets the west palm beach area around 9:00 p.m., stephanie.

one shelter is in west palm beach.f people need help, they need to call our 822-2222 number. 561-822-2222. we have call handlers on duty now. so you will get to speak to an actual person, and we're there to help you. >> and for you, personally, you are in a mandatory evacuation. while you're the mayor of the town, you need to protect yourself. what are you doing? >> i'm here at the eoc. this is a category 5 building. we will be safe. my husband is home with the dog and our house, but we're all shuttered up. he'll be fine. >> i hope he will. all right, please stay safe. we're sending you and your community the best. >> thank you very much. >>> all right, the national hurricane center is ground zero for information on this monster hurricane heading for florida's coast. joining me now is the director of the national hurricane center, rick knabb. where is the storm headed? >> it's lashing the bahamas with not just the hurricane force winds, but it's hushing the ocean around and there's undoubtedly a lot of storm surge impa

lauderdale and west palm beach, the last 24 hours was, because west palm sticks out a little bit, andke, this is going to be so close for west palm, a huge population center. it was just far enough to the coast. we haven't had reports out of the freeport area, but freeport went right to the eye of this like nassau did. what was better for west palm was worse for freeport and the bahamas. but unfortunately, the ang of the -- angle of the storm and the andle of t angle of the coastline, i think we're up to 4,000 days i saw someone tweet out. this may not make landfall. we could have a multi-billion dollar disaster on our coast and not get the technical landfall. meaning the eye of the storm crosses over the coast. >> but it will be a power sander. >> yeah, you've been watching and saying this doesn't look like much, the reporters standing out in the rain. this is what we're waiting for. what started around ft. pierce to indian river county all the way northwards, we're now into main event time. >> okay. because he goes back to alan sheppard, please protect jay barbree's house in florida

we want to remind you, if you have to be on the road, be west palm beach, the wind is also the story at this hour. >> just northwest in palm beach gardens, a sign of things to come. >> this is a stop sign here that looks like it has been ripped out of the ground. >> this is a stop sign here that looks like it has been ripped out of the ground. >> in new smyrna beach, just south of daytona beach, a final chance to evacuate. the beaches and the mainland are now closed. >> and earlier this evening in orlando, growing fears about gas shortages. >> this is a popular. he is the tanker truck driver following. >> why? >> they are out of fuel. almost every station that i ran into is out of fuel. nobody wants to pay for premium. maria: they have six days worth of gasoline stockpiled and supplies of good and water to help in the storm's aftermath. id? ed: thank you. airports across florida and the southeast are shut down tonight, and logan airport is feeling the ripple effect. flights canceled from west palm beach to charleston. dozens of evacuees caught last-minute flights into boston today. >>

pierce, west palm, all the way up to melbourne. it's that peak wind, it's that peak gust, wolf, that we're worried about, if we get 145 on land with the eye wall. that's where the devastation will happen. here is one of the models. here is a graphic presentation of what a model looks like. 6:00 tonight. not on shore yet. we do have outer bands making very heavy gusts all the way up and down the east coast already from west palm to melbourne. probably gusts around 60. somewhere tonight maybe 4:00 a.m. that's when the eye wall will probably touch land. may not get all the way on shore. it's possible. the best case scenario is if this eye is here. if that's to the right by 50 miles, we're in great shape and we dodged a bullet. but it doesn't look like it. there's not a single model that's not right along the shore right now, eventually into jacksonville, into charleston, into savannah, into tybee, up the east coast, before it gets to myrtle beach. it stays off shore after that, wolf. >> chad, what about a little further south, miami,

there's west palm beach. a calmer ocean now, but that's no doubt going to change. a li report at 5:00. >>> 4:34. they have a new way to keep guns out of the wrong hands. gun vaults will be in personal and take home vehicles. deputies will be expected to store weapons in them while off duty. stolen weapons are a major concern. last year one stolen from an off duty car was used in a shooting death in san francisco. the investigative unit uncovered how many guns were taken. for more, head to nbcbayarea.com, click on investigation. >>> switching gears. the giants moving on to the windy city to battle the cubs after a dramatic finish last night. >> that was after a three run homer to win the game. fans going bonkers when they took the lead on gillespie's three run homer in the top of the ninth. there it goes. all they can do is watch that unfold. madison bumgarner was brilliant to no one's surprise. pitched a complete game shutout. ultimately the giants win 3-0, and it is onto chicago. >> oh my god! >> the giants series with the cubs starts tomorrow. that moves to the b

again, landfall probably going to happen just around midnight between west palm beach and ft. pierce. it moves up the coast. one thing we haven't talked about, anywhere up to 10 inches of rain possible, especially from daytona north into south carolina. so many different threats we have with this storm. the forecast, unfortunately, has become more serious this morning. we'll expect another update around 2:00. we'll see if the storm may strengthen more. a category 5 storm is not out of the question, unfortunately. >> raphael, thank you so much. that's a very tough warning, indeed. tammy leitner on the phone, she's been in the thick of it in nassau, bahamas, seeing it crawl across the caribbean, very slow pace, just sitting over nassau. you've been looking at some of the damage from your balcony perch. trees uprooted, some ceramic tiles coming off rooftops as projectiles. what are you hearing about any damage and any loss of life in nassau? >> reporter: you hit on it when you talked about the slow pace. this hurricane has just been hovering overhead. we've been out here for eigh

thursday morning we were talking about west palm beach, palm beach island being in the eye of the storm and cross hairs of hurricane matthew. that seemed to have changed by thursday night with the storm moving further north. hurricane matthew which costs the lives of hundreds of people in the caribbean, seems to have spared west palm beach for now. >> that is a relief, nick. when it was at its worse, when the outer bands were passing you or that outer eyewall, what were you experiencing? >> well, we sea it last night about 9:00 when we were on with anderson cooper, heavy rains, intense wind, sustained wind of 45 miles per hour. it was constant but an ebb and flow. you would get heavy rain and wind, and then a sign of relief and then that would come back and it was just a pat than continued all throughout date. we really thought that we were going to get hit hard in the overnight hours and it was a surprise to our crew when we woke up this morning for our reports that the power was still on, when we checked in with authorities they were saying oh, big sigh of relief here in west palm bea

grateful she is a college student in west palm beach. the last flight out of west palm beach, landing here in boston. cancellations have the potential to affect flights everywhere. we are going to monitor the situation. anchor: thank you. we will continue to track matthew as it heads north. you can also in real time. you download the wcvb mobile scene on east river street. police are investigating after a crime was discovered this morning. newscenter 5's david bienick is live there with what we know right now, david? david: we have seen the district attorney on the scene promising an update very soon. so far authorities have not we have seen crime scene investigators coming and going from inside the house. neighbors tell us an elderly couple lived in this home and they have not seen them yet today. of help. her son was always double checking on her. stuff like that. reporter: here's a live look at the house. the schools were temporarily placed on lockdown. the police say that was a precaution. there was no direct link to whatever crime h

50 plus in some areas start this is just the beginning it is still about 100 mileses southea of west palm beach and the eye of the storm will be grazing th coast northward on the east coast of florida. today so warm in the low '80s, a low of 60 degrees, it felt more so like as opposed to fall-like. 77 degrees at hopkins, the warm air extending up to detroi 74 and earlier this afternoon st. louis was in the upper '80s paducaho almost 90 degrees front in omaha and minneapolis you have between 55 and 6060. starting late tomorrow , this s front will approach with shower arriving after friday night touchdown week seven this is a radar loop of hurricane matthew 100 miles east of west palm beach. it could be a category 4 and could make landfall, a and this a satellite loop and east moving northwest at about ten mph hurricane warnings along the eastern seaboard on his coast of florida up to georgia andd south carolina and warnings posted portions of western florida and into north carolina. this huge hurricane area will backtracking as a tropical stor for the bahamas again. >> this is a great our

that's west palm beach right now. look at the winds picking up as well. the reason why evacuation orders need to be heated, every model is saying that this storm is making a b line for the east central coast of florida. here is the storm right now and it is moving to the northwest. these are the bands that i was talking about. you see the oranges and the reds, those are already areas of torrential downpours and within some of these bands, you can see tornados spin up. we have a tornado threat before the eye of the storm getting close. the storm is so intense. winds right now is at the center of the storm at 140 miles per hour. it is not looking like it has any reasons to weaken as it gets closer to florida. the national hurricane center is keeping it as a category four storm, very, very close to the coast tomorrow morning. land fall does not make it that much of a difference. the category four storm is going to skirt along the east coast and close enough to produce hurricane forced winds which extends 60 miles per hour from the center of the storm. it is

i can't give you the all-clear in west palm beach. you still have a chance of going through the outer eye wall of the storm. here's the center. that's the eye. that is where we have the 140-mile-per-hour winds. gusts could even be higher than that. this is what you want to eliminate. this will be catastrophic, where this comes onshore later on tonight. and then we have what we call this outer eye wall, that has developed. and this is where the hurricane-force winds are. so once you get into that, that's when the trees go down, we start to get some roof damage, and that's also problematic, once it gets to the coast. that is only about three to four hours away from the west palm beach area. that's when we'll start hearing about the power outages, power surges, transformers blowing up in the sky. here's the forecast path. 2:00 a.m., we're still offshore. and then during the night, we rake the coastline near the space coast, maybe a landfall, maybe not right near cape canaveral. here's the key. if the storm is going to be historic, likely

the significant damage starts west palm beach. as we go into the next category into highly significant if you want to call it that, that's ft. pierce to the melbourne area. i still think if we're going to get the historic damage out of this storm looking back on it, i'm really targeting areas from the new smyrna beach, volusia county line, up to flagler and augustine and southern georgia, too. that's where the storm surge should be the greatest. ten feet of water rushing in even if the storm is off shore, doesn't matter. >> for the first time many times over the course of tonight, please repeat about the storm surge, what you've been saying all day and the fact that in hurricanes about a quarter of the loss of life is a direct result of wind. storm surge takes most people. >> predominantly. that's why you heard so many of the emergency managers, the governor and all the senators and congressmen, they were saying get off the coast, get off the beaches because we can't save you from the storm surge. there's a saying that says, you r

that's not west palm beach. that makes a lot more sense because you guys would be feeling those same effects if you saw those winds at 125 miles per hour. so that is nassau in the bahamas. the point is that's what's headed in your direction. gentlemen, what will you be doing for the next hour? >> well, i will be out riding, actually, into the neighborhoods and encouraging people to leave town. i'm going to actually go door-to-door on a few neighborhoods here on the beachside myself. and make sure that people are not there as the mayor around encourage people to leave. and then i will get on social media and continue to encourage, and prepare my own family. that's another thing. we all have to prepare our families because i want them to be safe. and hunker down with the city, and stand in here and stand beside my chief and make sure that our city is safe. >> and chief? >> we begin ramping up this morning earlier we have volunteers, and police officers that will be targeting areas that were hit by the floodg in 20

here is west palm. the storm is not going to go straight west. it's going to go north, northwest. farther up the coast, the worst conditions will be occurring. it is taking a slight jog left. of florida. it is a category four storm. all the way up to daytona beach, possibly getting close to jacksonville. there will be some weakening. still a hurricane. once against to charleston it will start going east. this is not happening until saturday afternoon. but it will be much weaker. that is really strange but it is how the upper level steering currents become very weak and strange. it loses the air over the weekend. the farther south on the east coast of florida they last the surge will be. not as bad as when you get to situation. jacksonville, 4-8. 5-10. then, low tide. that is a huge difference. this cocoa beach is low tide. it coincides with high tide. you see that is getting close to the time of high tide. that is going to be followed as well. the storm moves north. we will see that will be following as well. we will get the updates of the here they are right now. 29 in west palm.

moves in and obviously everybody is in place and in the mayor of west palm beach. she told me that obviously they are monitoring things as best they can but they will not be able to go out into the elements to help someone if they find themselves in danger. so they are asking everyone to stay indoors, and that includes first thing in the morning when the sun comes up, there still could be dangerous conditions and they're asking everybody to stale remain indoors -- still remain indoors because of the ongoing conditions of the can you seeus to be, and it is expected to get windier, especially around 1 a.m. through 4 a.m. we're seeing -- expected to see winds up to 80 miles per hour. so the message tonight: stay indoors. i'm adam winer, back to you. >> and that's what we'll do, to what it has done. the death toil in haiti is 283 people. this is new video showing some of the tremendous damage to that country. can you see walls and roofs just damage that has forecasters so worried here in the u.s.. chief meteorologist mike nelson is tracking matthew. where is he right n

it looks like somewhere around jupiter inlet, west palm, somewhere in there between fort pierce and west palm looks to be one of the landfall spots. hopefully it will stay out in the atlantic. almost everything is taking it parallel to the east coast of florida. some of the feeder bands are moving in. that's the water temperature, 86. lots of fuel and energy to playoff of. still category 3 but i would think category 4 any time. 131 the gusts. it looks like it will be a category 4 when it arrives late tonight and early tomorrow. some of these inlets that stretch out are very low lying. and then you have areas that are only a few feet above sea level. and they go up towards cape canaveral, kennedy space center. space x is all right there. and then in orlando, you have disney world as well. if it coming in at 1:45, you can add it up. that will be devastation. it weakens but still off of the georgia coast. category 2 and then category 1. so there will be not only gusts 145 maybe 150, but torrential rain. i have seen something about 17 inches possible for some locations over the next five day

140 miles per hour and moving northwest at 13 miles per hour and it's 100 miles east-southeast of west palm beach and we did just get the new track and it has shifted a little farther north, looks like landfall will be early tomorrow morn near cape canaveral and the georgia border as a category 4 or strong category 3 hurricane and paralleling the coast and raking south carolina and moving back out to sea and possibly returning to florida next week, insult to injury as a tropical storm. we are looking at a potentially life-threatening hurricane for northeast florida and georgia and parts of south carolina. this is the reason why, it's not just the winds it's the storm surge, 7 to 11 feet above the ground and that is very flat area that storm surge will head very far inland and i'll have more on the storm and hurricane matthew and tracking rain on the way in our area this weekend. >> thank you. >>> meanwhile matthew brought air travel to and from the southeast to a halt. the "action news" cam was at philadelphia international airport where passengers were scrambling to find a way to their des

as you go into west palm beach to ft. pierce, a 3 to 5-foot storm surge. the farther north on the northern side of this storm, as we get into especially friday, we are looking for a 6 to 9-foot storm surge on top of the high tide. that's basically all of that water coming onshore. obviously, leading to coastal flooding. that's going to cause some significant impacts. then as you go a little farther to the north, 3 to 5 foot storm surge expected along the georgia and south carolina coast. most of our rainfall in the areas that won't be seeing that direct impact from the storm. that goes for charleston, south carolina, up into wilmington, north carolina. isolated areas where we could see 10 or more inches of rain. that could lead to regular flooding on top of coastal flooding. from savannah to jacksonville, melbourne, we could see 7, isolated of up to 10 inches of rain. the storm surge leading to coastal flooding. rain amounts leading to regular flooding. we're also looking for wind to scrape the coast, perhaps up to hurricane-force winds. there are a lot of

that's west palm beach. this area is going to get hammered up around the eastern part of florida starting late tonight, it's going to go to georgia and the carolinas into the weekend. j.r. will have much more as will we. stay joe plaia: every three days, someone in new hampshire is killed with a gun. mothers, sons, friends. instead of making new hampshire safer. when she has the chance to strengthen background checks, she voted no, backing the washington gun lobby instead. then - on a bill to keep suspected terrorists from getting guns, ayotte flip flopped. kelly ayotte's become another typical washington politician and that puts us all at risk. narrator: independence usa pac is responsible for the content of this advertising. did you know your business doesn't have to suffer from slow internet? that's 10 times faster than dsl. get internet for as low as $59.95 a month. call today. comcast business. built for business. did you know that sharing wifi with your customers could leave your business exposed? only

let's go to nick valencia in west palm beach. nick, we just heard chad talking about the forecast here. this is what west palm beach is staring down. they are in the path are people listening? are they getting out? >> the short answer is no. i spoke to the mayor, she told me the majority in west palm beach are choosing to stay in their home, ride out the storm rather than evacuate which has been the warning from local officials and state officials. the problem with that, brianna, is that it puts first responders in a precarious situation. the mayor tells me she will not deploy anyone from the emergency operations center when these winds start to really get bad. the weather has epied and flowed over the course of the last couple hours. the rain was heavier about 45 minutes ago. the wind has sustained pretty strong and we expect tropical storm winds to happen this afternoon. the heavier stuff will come in later this evening but the big concern is those residents who have chosen not to evacuate. we had to change our position. we wer

indd they've never had a category four hurricane hit landfallnd north of west palm beachh florida. never happeneded since 1851 when851 w record-keeping began.began they've had hurricanes butes bu nothing like this.is it is forecast to make landfalll around 10:00 p.m. right about there and it continues to go right up the east coast there an withwit those monster wins. a very tight hurricane.rican the hurricane force winds w without 35 miles of the eye go outside of that in the winds dropped but a a situation not only have to eye of the hurricane passing over a believed area but also have hav winds in excess hundred 20 miles an hour occurring at night whenn people don't see what's comingho with monster amountsmi of rain n from west palm beach up top to savannah.. localize amounts of more than a foot of rain that would take us throughze amou actually tonightd through friday into early saturday. this will be a historic event affected by this.ed by mostly sunny today.ny to nice day up to the low 70s i knew an average high today inay the upper 70s to near 80. 65 should be the temperature

take to us west palm beach. i think the forecast remains the same, pretty much along the south carolina coast. it's a little less, 18 to 24 hours from now. excellent agreement t. western eye, west watch, raking the area. that's why we have hurricane warnings now extended all the way down to miami. so looking at that time space coast, vero beach, port st. excellent agreement for a landfall along the central florida coastline. we take it to the georgia coast as we go throughout our night, friday and saturday morning. i can't emphasize, time is running out for preparations for people to get out of the way for this. this will be historically bad. in the wake of hurricane matthew, haiti is yet again facing a humanitarian crisis. u.n. officials say it's the worst crisis since 2010. right now, 350,000 people need immediate assistance. at this moment, rescue teams are reaching to reach the island's most devastating communities. >> stranded, but determined, one by one, they fight a raging whichever. this woman almost swep

west palm beach, again seen winds that high. i have seen winds socationly gusting 35, 40 miles per hour but nothing at catastrophic as what we saw move over freeport and the bahamas earlier today. so there you go. the inner eye wall, that's the most dangerous portion of the storm but then you have the outer portion approaching the florida coastline overnight tonight and through the day tomorrow. the latest thinking from the hurricane center may not actually have the eye wall itself make landfall but even with that said, even if this eye still going to have at least 74-mile-per-hour winds grazing the coastline. looks like from melbourne up toward palm coast that's going to be your areay when you have the strongest winds ins and of 75 miles per hour for the longest time. so it will be in that window where we're talking about the possibility of extreme wind damage, as well as very heavy rain, and then just inland from there we're talking from the to 60 miles per hour twhintdz area shaded in the yellow and the orange. on the other c

pierce, possibly making significant winds for west palm and palm beach. i suspect we'll probably get winds close to 100 there and the power lines will be down. there will be 1 million or more people without power because the storm scours the beach all the way to daytona, st. augustine, to charleston, into st. simons island and tybee, savannah. finally, it pulls away from south carolina, but not before we get all of that land with damage. that entire coastal east coast, the treasure coast, all the way up and down the east coast of florida will all be damaged by this big storm. john. >> and, chad, just quickly, before i let you go, talk about the certainty here. it's about what, 11 years since florida's taken a direct hit, back to wilma. if somebody's saying, oh, this happens, they always tell us it's coming, and then it veers off, tell them this time they're wrong. >> that's the rub, that's always going to be the rub when you missed a couple of storms or it just doesn't hit you and it hits your neighbor. well, we didn't say it was going to hit you, we said

this is manageable from west palm southwards. palm bay, indian river and then extreme concern. talk about the red. that's a 10 foot storm surge possible in the middle of the night over the spates coast early tomorrow morning around new smyrna beach and flagler, around 5 to 7 feet for you and up to the north here, the koes coastal lines. this is the graphic we watch a lot. the predicted wind field. this is 11:00 p.m. tonight. hurricane force winds are shown here. that's this white color in here. that's what you want to avoid so you don't have a lot of destruction and the highest of the winds would be the northeastern quadrant and if that crosses the coastline, that's when you're going to get category 4 type damage. that's 11:00 p.m. over the top of west palm beach and then moving along the coastline here as we go up into early in the morning, it just rakes the coast and that's the northeast quadrant. that's why they evacuated the kennedy space centers and daytona beach, come noon tomorrow into flagler county here. the winds inland

i just spoke to the mayor of west palm beach. check out the palm trees right here. the mayor tells me there are scattered power outages currently in the county. wind gusts are sustained about 35 miles per hour. she wants to stress to the viewers saying it is really important. they hope you evacuated. hope you got out of here. you heard government scott. he didn't mince words this morning. -- for the first responders when they two in, to have to pick up people who were left behind not only put their lives in jeopardy but a also those of the first responders lives in jeopardy. >> we can see that starting to take hits on his shot, you can see on that shot went down where nick was. they are saying the severity of this could be such that some areas become uninhabitable for months. that is something to think about for a moment. uninhabitable for months. and governor scott saying the storm will kill you. get out while you still can. urging people to evacuate. as you look at the path of this storm, what do you see? >> where do we begin erin? after a humanitarian crisis in h

this looks like about at west palm, to fort pierce, and northward toward the melbourne. the cape kennedy, cape canaveral, cocoa beach up to daytona. if it follows this track, and the it comes in -- eye comes in, this is the spaghetti plot, and the majority taking this right along parallel to the coast. it could be 50 miles out in the atlantic, that would make it a different ballgame, but the consensus is taking it pretty much right along the eastern coast on the florida side. 125, but i think it is 130 to 147, and by friday 145. it could be easily wind gusts higher than that as it moves northward toward jacksonville off of the georgia coast, and it will weaken a little bit in the carolinas, but all about florida and the next 36 hours. you can see the futurecast and where it is taking it, right along melbourne, orlando and cape canaveral. it will start to move out for the carolinas. there are signed to could rotate back out in the atlantic, weekend but not disappear, and hang around for a while. patchy fog with a few cool lows, santa clara 47, morgan hill 44, scotts valle

reporting tonight from west palm beach, florida. well, as you can see, the southeast is threatened tonight by the most powerful hurricane in more than a decade. matthew is about 100 miles offshore. it's expected to make landfall overnight, just north of here, on the space coast of florida, near cape canaveral. it is a huge hurricane. 120 miles wide, and it is strong, sustained winds up to 140 miles an hour. more than two million coastal residents have florida to the carolinas have been ordered to evacuate. nearly 3,000 are in shelters in florida alone. president obama has declared an emergency in florida and now in south carolina. the governor of florida is warning of potentially catastrophic damage. flooding and power losses for days. airports are shut down, thousands of flights have been canceled. that fantasy land giving way to the reality of danger. matthew has already killed a reported 140 people in the caribbean, most of them in haiti. forecasters tell us the major threat to the u.s. is a storm surge of up to 11 feet that coul

instead it's going to hold itself together on west palm beach all the way to jacksonville. then it makes its way back out to sea, perhaps looping back around as a much weaker storm. here is the forecast model of the expected rainfall over the next 24 hours. you can see these heavier bands of rain approaching jupiter, approaching melbourne as we approach tomorrow morning. possible landfall, if we were to see one, would be around 4:00 or 5:00 in the morning in florida. we've been talking about a storm surge. if you don't understand what that is, take your normal high tide and add feet of water on top thof that. keep in mind, coastal areas are your tidal areas, so you'll see massive coastal flooding. if we go far north, we can see a storm surge of 7 to 11 feet. jacksonville, florida at 3 to 6 feet of storm surge, we could see the whole downtown completely under water. and with a forecast of 7 to 11 feet, clearly that's why we're evacuating areas like that. also on the coast of south carolina, we could see a 3 to 7-foot storm surge. even though we're not looking at a direct hit
