Area. Thats great news. Higher wind shear in place for now. That played a part in weakening the system with the exposed center, lower wind shear, longer term as it gets into the gulf of mexico and the warm gulf waters. It does have some potential to strengthen. So as we look at the spaghetti models. The trend has been to the west. They have been all over the place largely because this has not been a tropical system. But, the best thinking today is a little bit further west. Also, we thunderstorms moving across Pinellas County. Moving offshore. We will talk more about this is a little later on. All right, steve jerve thank you for that. We will check back with you again in just a little bit. Okay. Terrified and alone. An eightyearold girl dropped off more than 30 minutes from her bus stop. Her family turned to 8 on your side to figure out how this happened.

Hurricane, matthew is sitting at category three status due to max winds at 120 Miles Per Hour. Still moving off toward the west in the southern caribbean at 12 Miles Per Hour. So it says slow down a bit. But you can see the eye formed in the center of the storm there as it moves south in the southern portions of the caribbean sea. Heres the track. Its looking similar to what weve been looking at the last couple days. Its going to continue moving into sunday, it turns toward the north. It will head through jamaica as a very strong hurricane. And then continue to make its way north as we head into early next week. Now depending on if its more toward the western or eastern side of this cone will determine if the east coast of florida does see impacts from this storm, depending on the exact path. But at this point, this looks to be the track of it. And weve been looking at this general track over the last couple days now. In agreement. You can see bringing it toward the bahamas as we head

Destruction so bad the local sheriff says it looks like something exploded. Ivan cabrera has the latest. What is the timing for the storms . 6 00 a. M. But i think we have a couple of hours before the storms arrived. Tornado watch issued a few minutes ago. In effect through 10 00 a. M. Counties.

Heres the watch box, near the storms offshore. They are a couple of hours away. Well loop this for you. Some of the cells are indicating some spin and so that is why the Storm Prediction Center has decided to issue the watch box. Certainly conditions are favorable for that. All of this headed to the north
