Had to nudge to the north. now it has an influence. tiny changes can make a big difference in the eventual movement of the storms. thousands of parameters that were trying to measure and put into models to get the tracks. a small wobble or change can cause that forecast track to nudge a little bit. thats why theres so much uncertainty. we spent a lot of time talking about the actual cone. you look at the last five years and thats the forecast error possible with that tract. we try to communicate...

Were expecting a hit there later this afternoon. and hurricane force winds and heavy rainfall to georgia and the carolinas. residents in those areas are preparing for whats to come. >> these things can change their path. and it can miss us completely or pummel us. i dont know. im just going to be prepared, you know, either way. >> i prepared for this by having my medication. cat food, dog food, and cash, because banks will be closed. and they will be out of power. you cannot get money out of the...

Tropical storm warnings. it will happen here. what were going to see these hurricane force winds also possible storm stuurges in that area. this is too close for comfort here. even the cone of uncertainty still has this as a major hurricane here. youre going to see the storm surge, major flooding here, even though its offshore. the track as of 8:00 has cat 2, charleston, north carolina still going to be feeling the effects of this storm system. jo? >> janessa, thuchb. joining us is the press s...

Potential of 10 to 15 feet, this could be devastating for that island. so we are watching that very closely here. now, we just got the latest update from the national hurricane center at 5:00 a.m. here and i really want to show you here, were going to start this call this more of an ocean track storm here. with our american models, we look at data here. the most of this is well off shore. were only seeing one model that is forecasting from west palm beach to jacksonville potential landfall. so w...

Next one 20 two hours here with the movement currently at 8 miles per hour. the reason i say that is because this storm system going to dramatically slow down. as it steers to the north and west, i potentially think here by monday, tuesday, this storm will only flow about two to three miles per hour here. as it makes that turn, its going to slow down and cause the wind speeds to really dramatically decrease here but were still talking about a major hurricane. what does that mean? youre still tal...

Turn to the north. they still have it about 100 miles off the east coast of florida. they still have the cone of uncertainty, still includes palm beach, moves up melbourne, the space coast, volusia county, back up to jacksonville. then they still have the cone through coastal areas of carolinas. we havent crossed anybody out of this. they still think if its off the coast, it could be a category 2 hurricane all the way up to carolina. our computer models, some of them are offshore, but we have en...

As they went through the eye. it looks like an eft 2 or ef-3 tornado have gone through. were roughly about 180, 181 miles due east of west palm beach. were closing in on freeport. its roughly about 70 miles away from freeport. heres the latest path. the newest is coming out this hour. the stall and slow movement is the story. thats why the destruction is going to be so much worse throughout areas from grand bahama island. tonight and tomorrow in freeport. then we take it along the coast. all the...

Models are also off the coastline. as far as our friends go farther up the north, the cone of uncertainty goes through coastal georgia, half of south carolina and north carolina, parts of richmond and include southern portions of new jersey and delaware and maryland. by the time it got there, it would likely be a category 1 if not weaker up towards delmarva. but this is the area of concern. certainly why evacuation orders are in south carolina here. we think the storm will be very close here, 10...

Dog food and cash. banks will be closed and out of power so you cannot get money out of the bank. so you got to have cash. >> nbc meteorologist janessa webb is back with us. janessa, what is the update? is it more predictable now? do you have a better sense of the timeline here? >> i think our models are starting to come into agreement here. we have a few that makes it onshore for florida here but the brunt of them, over about 22, 30 of those models are keeping this well offshore but, of course,...

Chance for a storm surge of 4 to 7 feet in this area. thats still going to cause problems especially during the high tide cycles. in case you missed it, here is the new path from the national hurricane center. again, the cone of uncertainty still over much of the east coast of florida. we hope for a path as far out as possible but most likely its going to be a close call and a close shave right along the coast. maybe 30 to 40 miles off the shore. and that still could bring very rough conditions ...
