Hurricane center. update us on the path and what to expect. >> what we should expect is overnight tonight, the storm to get back up to a strong four. maybe 150 miles per hour. right now we are at 130. it doesnt seem like much, but it is. this storm will get a new eyewall in the middle of where it was last night. we lost that eyewall. a bigger eyewall start and it generated into a round circle. not quite round yet. we are waiting for it to get perfect before we blow this thing up. its oblong on o...

Line with the cone. really important to note, one of three storms makes landfall somewhere outside the forecast cone. dont fall in love with the cone. anywhere is fair game. when you look at category four or category five, according to the national hurricane center, these are catastrophic damage left behind of systems. the model guidance has shifted to the north. you notice high concentration near wilmington or north. thursday overnight. this concern, dave and christine, when it makes landfall, ...

Hold that before were expecting to edrop back to category four? i mean this is historic with hugo september 22nd back in 89. >> the concerns are not just about the initial impact with the storm but the possibility it stalls like hurricane harvey did over texas last year. >> exactly. you could out-walk harvey, and it was a big concern. once the systems slows down we could be in big trouble. youre looking at 10, 20enches of rain. this is high terrain. piedmont, the smokies, the blue ridge, thats o...

We tried to get a live shot from that airplane, but it is just so loud in the airplane that the pilot and the second pilot and the officer cant even hear us on the phone. so we will just let them fly the plane. here you go, from florence it will take its way a little bit farther to the north today. yesterday we were very close to a wilmington landfall in the middle but now its slightly farther to the north. therefore, maybe norfolk you are back into it, hampton roads you are back into it, charle...

Through cycles over the next few days. when we talk about restructuring, the eye will go through a replacement cycle. it is like it has lungs. every once in a while it takes a deep breath and exhales. nothing much on the strength. when it comes to the path, what has changed at the 11:00 a.m. advisory this morning the center of our cone of uncertainty was right over wilmington. at 3:00 p.m. it shifted northward. now it is about 50 miles north. there is a trend northward. i want to stress, this ca...

Of where landfall could be. when it comes to the storm itself, it is still category 4, winds are still at 140. they did detect a little rise in the pressure which usually means it is weakening somewhat. please do not pay much attention to that because this will go through cycles over the next few days. when we talk about restructuring, the eye will go through a replacement cycle. it is like it has lungs. every once in a while it takes a deep breath and exhales. nothing much on the strength. when...

The system. it is 250 miles in diameter. a large chunk of water. this system migrates to the north and west. 140-mile-an-hour winds sustained. it will get stronger, potentially, as you noted. it pushes up close to land at 8:00 p.m. and midnight. the best for landfall is thursday night. the models shifted the track farther north and begin to gradually exclude south carolina. you see the portion of the cone which extends north of charleston. you look at the reegion. when was the last time they had...

Force winds to be in this area. local officials saying if you stay here you are doing so at your own risk. >> all right. thank you very much. joining me is the director of the national hurricane center. director, thank you for being with us. what can you tell us about the size, the direction and the timing of this storm? >> well, i think one of the big factors is that were just not talking about impacts inside the cone. we just always got to remind people inside the cone is where we can see the ...

Makes a difference with the higher wind speeds and the bubble of water underneath this thing. land fall somewhere between north of charleston all the way up to the said, the widest part of the cone at this point in time. it could turn left. it could turn right. we are expecting it to eventually turn left. all of the models have a left ward bias after it gets on shore and then stopping. but here you go. hurricane watch all the way down to charleston. i think surges will be 20 feet. officially the...

You need to be looking at 150. and then 145 because this storm is going to get stronger before it makes land fall. this will have a bubble of storm surge in the 20 foot range, somewhere. i dont know if thats will ming ton yet. what i do know is that the cone is getting smaller to the south and not getting as far to the north as we work our way toward land fall. but now what happens is that the storm stalls and has no direction at all. in fact, this cone gets wider. it could be back off store. it...
