Is taking this seriously and the preparations. are the people there in melbourne taking this seriously? again, this earlier -- i guess last week now, it was forecast for a florida landfall. that now is no longer the case. at least the cone is suggesting there wont be one or the cone of uncertainty. are people taking this seriously considering that it will likely stay off the coast of florida? >> i hope so. like i said, were -- were preparing for the worst and hoping for the best. so im hoping th...

North. obvious, when and how that happens is going to be critical for impacts m the state of florida. but we are -- our east coast certainly is within the cone still and people need to remain vigilant. if youre ordered to evacuate, you need to do that. from palm beach county all the way up to nassau, the florida-georgia border, all the coastal counties have issued evacuation orders and its important that residents heed those calls. get out now while you have time, while theres fuel available, an...

A.m. there has not been a new hurricane hunter aircraft in it yet. it will be on its way. that will be for the 11:00 advisory. what we know is this storm is devastating the northern half of the bahamas. an eye you can see on the satellite now. sun now finally coming up. youre going to be able to see the ocean and likely the land when we get the sun angle high enough. the high, not quite to freeport. the eye is in freeport. winds over 100, not 165, but on the way if the eyewall gets to them. its ...

Errand bands move into nah yet. it hasnt made the turn yet. what a battle with time. high pressure steering it, john, has collapsed. now were waiting on this low pressure system to pull it northward. were going to watch that today, watch that tonight, eventually start to pull it to the north. >> and again, as it does move north, what can the people here on the coast of florida expect? >> weve really got to keep our guard up with this one. its not just exactly where the center moves. in the cone,...

Devastating. the tropical storm-force winds trying to pick up along the florida coast. still under that, 28 in west palm beach. of course, as this continues to make that northward shift as it should, by tomorrow thats when well really be zeroing in on this cone, especially right around the space coast, treasure coast. thats where were going to be looking at its closest approach to florida. and possibly still a major hurricane, category three, 125 mile-per-hour sbinwinds. youre also going to get ...

Those. well get very heavy downpours. and well only see more of them as we get into tomorrow morning and into tomorrow afternoon. so, tuesday afternoon, this will finally start to pick up a little bit of forward speed. look at that very close draw with florida. we could see a possible landfall. y youre not out of the woods yet, because portions of florida here still in the cone and the center of the storm could lie anywhere inside that cone. so dont let your guard down yet, florida. this is a ve...
