Who is in kill devil hills, and we know the big concern is rip currents. >> yeah, definitely rip currents, but as we mentioned before i think last time you saw me the wind were definitely calmer and i talked about the big switch in the wind direction that was expected to happen. thats exactly what were seeing right now. arthur, the first category 2 or stronger hurricane. one of the gusts coming right now to make landfall. the first category two stronger or stronger hurricane to make landfall sin...

Where the debris may have gone or the possibility of coming up empty handed yet again? >> john, these searchers have access to the most so fisty kate mod les, based on tides, kurnltss, wind direction and speed that they can get. but its still an inexact science. they will have an idea of where that debris could have been scattered to by the strengths of the winds. obviously some of the bigger objects they are talking about, one as long as 23 meters, perhaps a more solid object will not move as f...

Richard, it seems rather pro form m forma. what do you see here? >> there are some sloppy read backs. all right good night without a full proper read back. there are some -- hes repeated things once or twice. and indeed the translation is really i have poor. because for example, at the takeoff the air traffic control just said runway ready permitted to take off. theres no wind speed, theres no wind direction, anything you would expect to see in this. its a poor translation. it tells us -- my own...

Takeoff the air traffic control just said runway ready permitted to take off. theres no wind speed, theres no wind direction, anything you would expect to see in this. its a poor translation. it tells us -- my own view is it tells us nothing new. >> we should slather this with caveats. the telegraph tried to get confirmation from the malaysian government. they wouldnt give it. it is an english translation from a mandarin translation as well. but mary schiavo, what about the repeated altitude tha...

Debris is still in the area. >> thats true. we talk about the issue of drift. they have to do math in both directions here. even though it may show here by now it could be here as they send the aircraft out to look for it. then you have to go to the other direction if it was here a few days ago it must have started out here. they have a lot of work to do to figure out what the current have been and the speed they have been travelling for days. when you look at the debris you have to look at the ...

>> yeah, at least they know how to deal with that kind of weather, that kind of snow. when you talk about buffalo and were both from buffalo, south of buffalo, thats the so-called snow belt. but it looks like buffalo is getting pummeled right now, as well. >> thats right. the wind direction right from cleveland right into buffalo. that takes the snow and pushes it into the city. pushes it into west seneca, not dunkirk. but this is a orchard park event and where lots of people live. and it is slo...

American research station near the ant aarctintarctic. now its on the way to the russian research ship and the chinese ice breaker. the crew woke up to find huge blocks of ice moving slowly around their ship and an iceberg blocking their way. the good news is the 101 chinese crew and the 22 on board the russian ship all have plenty of supplies. so theres no immediate danger. in fact, the chinese ice breaker is hoping it may even be able to break out possibly tomorrow. the wind direction is due t...

Deeply frustrateed not getting out to the open ocean. we just cant break out. a change in wind direction to a more westerly direction, would help enormously. >> thats the leader, by the way, of the expedition. right now, the rescue ship, the ice breaker, is just about 12 miles away. and that may seem close, but the conditions on the harshest place on earth, well, theyre always unpredictable. it was actually a decade ago that i traveled all the way to the bottom of the earth, the south pole, cutt...

>> they doesnt look comfortble. but a sense of urgency, excitement. >> certainly is. excitement with the ships coming there. jennifer greys watching it for us. from a weather point of view, it gives people an idea how big that area is. its summer in australia. >> exactly. so its really -- some areas in the u.s. are colder than where they are. so, what he was talking about, a couple of low pressure systems have moved through the area and what its done is because of the wind direction, its sort of...

Alexandra field is out there reporting from new york city. right now we have wind gusts at about 20 to 25 miles per hour, sustained winds today between 10 and 20. kind of gusty out there, and highs only in the 40s, and temperatures today will only stay for a high of 49 in new york, and it should be warmer than that, almost 60 degrees. today and tomorrow, the lowest temperatures. then we will warm things up. even in marquette and detroit, and boston, temperatures below average and then we will wa...
