I hope theres a ton of resources positioned and ready to go in. >> tell me whats going on. >> obviously stationary, as we would say. that hasnt changed. the winds have ticked down, 140 is a whole lot better than 185, which it peaked at. we would like to get that lower. the reason its weakening, thats the warmest water you can get in the bahamas. it can be up in the mid-80s. but when the storm is over the same spot long enough, theres the 185-mile-per-hour winds we had, it churns the ocean. the h...

Got to credit meteorologists and people like yourself who said from the very beginning this one was going to be impossible to predict. and of course while parts of florida may be spared, tragedy, just absolute tragedy in the bahamas. a worst-case scenario, a historic cat 5 storm just sitting over the bahamas. >> never heard of it going 1 mile an hour. >> this is only a six-hour loop. this is the eye and you can see it shrinking and disappearing here. so the storm is finally weakening. but 185-mi...

Dropping rain on some areas. we will go live to florida to discuss some of that. dorian is expected to track along floridas coast over the next few days where everyone is keeping a very close eye on the storm, no one more so than bill carens. >> the hurricane center is finding the storm slightly lower. its still a category 4. the maximum sustained winds are at 130 miles per hour. we peaked at 185. now we are at 130. thats the lowest you can get and still be a category 4. if it takes down anymore...

Island, still playinggued with category 3 for 30 hours. thats still the biggest headn are that you shake your head and were almost 40 hours since land fall and it hasnt moved much. but it is falling apart. doesnt look as good on radar. 185 mile-per-hour winds. now 120. stale dangerous storm at 120. but the wacker eaker, the lower storm surge. thats the way the math work withes. hurricane center has the thext apositi position 125. setheyre going toi lower the redicted winds along the path. still ...

The entire island. the storm hovered over the island for several days. this is a category 2 at this point, mering the southeastern coast of florida. before we move on to other topics in the show, as promised, an update from meteorologist bill karins with nbc news. bill? >> were watching the storm closely. its still right on, about 80 miles off the east coast of florida. the heaviest bands are now rotating closer to the coast. and this will be the peak of the storm from areas of volusia county ...

Its like dropping a sat phone out of an airplane. they dont get them back. they dont recover them. most missions will drop maybe four, maybe five, depending on how long the missions are. >> right. >> you know, theyll do one in the center of the storm. so we know what the pressure of the storm is. how intense it is right in the eye. then theyll also drop these in what we call, like, the eye wall or the strongest portion of the storm because they want to find out what the best reading of the max w...

. hurricane dorian is the most powerful storm on the planet so far this year. its tied for the strongest recorded landfall ever seen in the atlantic with 185-mile-per-hour winds. with me now, dean of science at columbia universe. i know you get questions all the time. the relationship between hurricanes and climate change, what do we know and what dont we know? >> its a great question, chris. in many cases, were asked this question, how does climate change impact hurricanes? is this hurricane ...

Face where were wondering what the exact impacts are going to be in the u.s. the biggest thing is that the eye is collapsing. we do not have that symmetrical ring but the western portion has collapsed. thats a sign the storm continues to weaken. its still stationary and they cant sit here and continually stay strong over the same areas. the ocean water is their fuel and the more it churns the water, it cools the water. and then the storm begins to weaken. thats why it was 185 and now its droppin...

Spot -- this is a six-hour loop, but i could have it for 18 hours. its shrinking and the storm is finally weakening, but 185 miles an hour winds down to 120 in 36 hours over great abaco and grand bahama. they dont have a whole lot left. so well see that. we havent seen a lot of pictures from freeport yet because the storm has been too close to it. well hopefully see that later on today. heres the latest, 120 miles an hour winds, still a category 3 and still a major hurricane. might as well circl...
