Washington, d.c. around 8 p.m. people thought, you know what? were going to take advantage of this and bring all of our friends and have this huge, massive snow fight with snowballs and all sorts of fun stuff. so thats the nice part of this system is people having fun. and, of course, the kids love it too. this is the type of good packing snow for snowballs and also for making snowmen, so, you know, im hoping i go home today and i see lots of nice snowmen in my neighborhood. people are asking me...

Coming down the mountain and also several trees, several dozen trees coming down the middle of the road. can you imagine? really dangerous still. we still have the risk for landslides in this region because of five inches of rain has accumulated so the soil is completely saturated. notice, though, the computer model. it does show that we have more rain further inland, less rain on the shore line which is good news because it is the steep, coastal terrain that tends produce landslides. we have pi...

Every computer model says turn, but so have they been saying that for ten days. so thats why -- get rid of this map. thats why the parts of north carolina into virginia, have either hurricane watches, tropical storm watches or right here, hurricane warnings in effect. because if this storm comes in and doesnt turn in time -- say its turning, but doesnt turn in time, and this thing runs right across, were going to lose an awful lot of beach here. sometimes you lose the island all together. you lo...

Soon as were predicting right now to the northeast and north, coming out of the open caribbean waters off testify bahamas towards the carolinas that we could have a direct hit on the outer banks of the carolinas, which is why we have a hurricane warning up there, and so many places have executed evacuation orders. >> and at this point, does it seem like the biggest threat -- i know youll be watching this computer model but its going to be to these offshore islands? >> thats always the case. the ...

Would be if this storm kind of rode up the coast with possibly category 3, category 2 winds bringing those hurricane-force winds and that storm surge and the rain all up and down the coast affecting millions of people, possibly crippling travel, power outages, you name it. again as we get closer to the potential of this storm making an impact across the u.s. we really have to fine tune this track. and here are the computer models. i just want to show you were starting to see a few little out lye...

Administration has lowered their gdp projections, over time, and have lowered their number of jobs that have been created or saved, and that estimate has also gone down and bottom line is, are we getting out of the hole or not and is any of it thanks to the stimulus? >> well, i think we are struggling to say the least, the housing market is finally looking like it will bottom after a whole series of attempts to prop it up, and, the economy is growing 1-2%, too slow to feel relief new are unemplo...

It would be impossible. i think thats what some people had thought. they didnt know this was just computer estimates. sometimes, by the way, theyre widely off base and they have to correct months later. >> its amazing. what this computer program does is imagines theres new companies emerging in the united states. it sort of estimates and imagines there are new companies and on those estimations, its estimating how many people they think the fake companies are hiring. a few months later, they com...

Portions of the great lakes and lincoln, nebraska, you may have issues there as well. lets talk about the tropics. theyre gets busy. no question about it. right here in this orange box, weve got tropical development. this tropical system, although theres a chance, about a 40% chance of it developing into something bigger it is going to have quite a reaction with land. that could cause this to weaken in the next 24 to 24 hours. however, a computer model shows this makes its way into the gulf of m...

Models together for tomorrow, they will know a lot more than what theyre knowing today. but for now this computer model and all of them that we have here -- this is on storm pulse. one of our websites that we use all the time. taking that parallel line, this is a big change and a big difference from one side to the other in how it affects the oil areas. if the storm travels up here, somewhere up here, then really theres no effect on the oil whatsoever. the storm never gets that strong, its not i...

Dont need it and could even see some flooding from it as well. the storm will move off to the west into the northwest intothe bahamas. now there has been an airplane in this, not a hurricane hunter, but a high-level g4, high-level aircraft back and forth across the atmosphere today, taking measurements, dropping little weather balloons that dont go up, they go down. and so they will know what this atmosphere looks like. when we put the computer models together for tomorrow, they will know a lot ...
