The computer forecasts are clear cut for a while. Going straight to the north, not moving in our direction and then making a bit of a right turn. This helps protect the United States. And then an eastward motion farther offshore into colder water so it should continue to weaken. Then, we have more uncertainties. Well get into that part later. But in the meantime, a Tropical Storm watch in effect for the delaware beaches and the jersey shore as the storm tracks a couple of hundred miles offshore and weakens into a Tropical Storm over the next couple of days. More on the detailed impact hour by hour coming up. And at the jersey shore, people are preparing for jose. Not long after the beaches took a beating from Hurricane Irma. Jersey shore reporter Ted Greenberg is live in longport. Another potential problem that could be created for the shore, coastal flooding. Reporter it is, jim and jackie. And the wind is picking up. We have these waves are getting bigger day by day. For some people,
Closest to us. The strongest winds remain off of our coastline and even south of new england. What were thinking for wind gusts during the day tomorrow about 30 to 40 miles an hour inland, 20 to 30 to the north and west of philadelphia and right along the shore, 40 to 45 miles an hour almost resembling more more of a noreaster than a tropical system. Well see waves during the day day tomorrow at the coast breaking near 10 feet which will cause damaging beach erosion thats the biggest concern is the beach erosion tomorrow. Minor tidal flooding, moderate at times and very dangerous rip currents. And well talk much more on this storm and also Hurricane Maria brian which is going to devastate parts of the caribbean and some islands that were already hit twice this season so far. More on that also coming up adam. Thank you. We turn to new jersey correspondent Nora Muchanic live in Atlantic City today. The message from officials is rather clear do not swim in the ocean. Reporter oh, yeah, no
Karen rogers. Good morning. Maria is really a monster. My thoughts with everyone in the path. We have a storm for us. It doesnt have major impacts on our area. As you take a look at satellite you can see that there is cloud cover obviously pouring in off the ocean and were getting close to seeing some rain bands as well. These are on the way in on storm tracker6 live double scan but at 4 00 a. M. , theyre still off the coast so if youre down on the beach on the boardwalk you might be able to get a little bit of a quick walk in before that rain becomes an issue. It is getting blustery down the shore and even though were not looking at Tropical Storm force winds coming in off the water it will be a little bit blustery and gusty today. 72 degrees right now in philadelphia. 68 allentown, 70 trenton, 71 in wilmington and 71 in cape may, new jersey, and as we roll through the day expect it to be cloudy breezy and at times damp with a little rain popping through in the form of some showers ar
Mostly right down at the shore. Satellite and radar shows you that the cloud cover from jose and those rain bands are getting closer to the coast but right now as you take a look at storm track sick six live double scan looks like most that of rain is off the coast and its on its way in. Well keep our eyes on that but so far so good down the shore. Its pretty gray and maybe a little damp but the main body of rain still off the coast and it doesnt look like the rain is going to be much of an issue for you. 72 degrees in philadelphia, 68 currently in allentown, 66 in reading. 70 in trenton. 71 in wilmington. 70 in cape may, new jersey, and 71 at the airport in ac. It does look like it will start out pretty cloudy and well see clouds and maybe occasional sunny breaks. 74 degrees by noon and 77, thats your high at 3 oclock. Breezy and at times a little damp but not a whole lot of rain overall, 75 by 5 oclock and by 7 oclock 73 degrees on the thermometer. On the bus stop this morning, well,
A minimal impact on our area in most ways although down the shore there is some impact still. Satellite shows you that the cloud cover from jose is sweeping in off the coast. The rain band getting closer. Storm tracker6 live double scan shows you some sprinkles already but most of the steady stuff is still off the coast trying to push in kind of falling apart as it does but eventually youll see more of that down at the shore in particular and the rest of us could get a passing shower, pretty minimal from the rain standpoint though. 71 degrees is your current temperature in philadelphia, 69 in allentown, 67 in reading. Theres 70 in trenton. 70 in wilmington and 70 down the coast in cape may. And as we roll through the day, it looks like a fairly cloudy day with perhaps that sunny breaks. 74 degrees by noon and then a high of about 77 at 3 oclock. And 75 by 5 oclock. By 7 oclock tonight youre down to 73 degrees. In terms of the bus stop this morning, well, it looks like its comfortable e
