Over wilmington. were watching the squiggly lines, computer models are saying, were watching that between the euro and the usa, pretty decent agreement right now. the worst part of this is going to be the rainfall as far as the fresh water flooding goes, stephanie. 26 inches from jacksonville, north carolina all the way down to south of wilmington. isolated areas could get up to four feet of rain. what really changed overnight, we were so fearful of the storms slow drifting over north carolina, ...

Around 85 degrees fahrenheit. so theres nothing to prevent this storm from continuing to intensify. >> cnn teams are spread out covering this storm and preps that are under way. lets begin with meteorologist chad myers who just got an update from the national hurricane center. what is the latest? >> its still at 130 miles per hour. earlier today, it was 140, but we lost the inner eyewall. an outer eyewall tried to build. its normal. just like rapid intensification, thats another term we used yes...

>> well, one thing thats really good is that the noaa computer models have gotten better and better all the years. so this intensification was actually well forecast by the national hurricane center. they say that it would rapidly intensify from a tropical storm all the way up to a major hurricane, and sure enough it did that. so the more data that we can collect with aircraft like this, the better the computer models get, the better the forecasts are going to be. so amongst metrological world i...

Computer models need, pressure, temperature, humidity, wind speed, wind direction and we drop those in the path of the storm, in the environment around the storm and actually across the top of the storm. again, from an altitude of between 40,000 and 45,000 feet. this is a very large, very powerful hurricane. the feeder bands were extending all the way out in excess of 150 miles from the center. everything that youve been hearing about this storm in terms of its severity is all true. >> so, liste...

Because of the bubble of water that will be under that storm when it makes landfall. we call it storm surge. its what happened to katrina, even though katrina wasnt a cat 5 making landfall it was, hours before the landfall and that bubble of water under that category 5 hurricane was tremendous. ask the people in bay, st. louis, gulfport. thats the 20-foot storm surge that rolled right onshore because of how strong this storm was prior in its life. thats what well have right here. wednesday night...

Jillian: powerful winds and surging waves begin to go pound the east coast as hurricane florence gains strength. rob: storm expected to make landfall this week, janice with what we can expect, big storm. janice: absolutely, its already strengthening, we expect rapid intense, olivia is going move into hawaii this week and then we have florence, isaac moving through caribbean, but here is our strengthening storm, category 2 as 5:00 a.m. advisory and there is the track and all the computer models a...
