Well give you a tour and then have a special performance from beck in our saturday sessions. Thats all ahead. But we begin this morning with a slow and potentially dangerous approach of Hurricane Dorian to the bahamas and florida. The storm was upgraded to a category 4 late last night and is now packing maximum sustained winds of 140 Miles Per Hour with higher gusts. Dorian is moving westnorthwest at about 12 Miles Per Hour. Preparations are under way for the massive storm. Hurricane conditions are expected in the bahamas by tomorrow. Storm surges there could raise water levels 15 feet above normal. In florida, many are leaving nothing to chance. Theyre stocking up at gas stations and grocery stores. Florida governor rhonda is telling people to stock up. Meteorologist jeff beraradelli is here with the latest. So, jeff, the track does seem to be changing, right. A lot. Its changed a lot since yesterday. It has big implications up and down the eastern seaboard. First we zoom in. Look how perfectly circular and symmetrical this storm is. It went from a cat 2 to cat 4 in just 24 hours. I dont think its going to strengthen much today. You see the western side of the system being eaten away, plus the water system doesnt support something much stronger than this. Lets show you the latest stats as of the 5 00 advisory. Thats the latest advisory from the National Hurricane center. Winds are moving westnorthwest at 12. Its miles from palm beach right now. Lets show you the track. This is interesting because it has shifted. Its going to continue west toward freeport. Its going to stall out literally unfortunately toward the bahamas. After that the system will begin to make its way northwest. The question is where does it make that turn . The latest track has shift off coast, not making landfall at palm beach or at least the center anywhere as you can see inland in florida. But it will eventually make landfall southeast as a slightly weak ended version of itself. Again, it could make landfall anywhere in this coneful it could shift back 20, 30 miles and all of a sudden its onshore. Were concerned about that. Watch out for that in the northeast. Whats going on . A big High Pressure system is all together. However, as we head over the next couple of days, it will break apart. When it breaks apart, it will enter no mans land and have very little steering. The question is any little change in the wind storm could push it in a certain direction. So its going to wander and feel the influence of this jet stream and possibly be pulled north toward the southeast coast. Lets show you a few computer models. This is the european model. It goes over the grand bahama, and then after that it creeps up the coast. Then eventually it tries to make landfall somewhere along the southeast coast. Now, the american model. Its somewhat similar. They were disagreed yesterday. They agree today. Its a little offshore, buthees charleston and up the coast line. Folks in florida and North Carolina need to watch this closely. Last but not least, i want to sum it up and show you what we know as of the latest. First of all, the track has shifted. It could chachlk its mind. Its up the coast, battering its way along the southeast coast. Its shifted so much to the east, theres no reason why it couldntet shift back to the west. Exactly. Well be watching. This is what Hurricane Dorian look like from space. Pictures show the storms churn in the atlantic on the ground. Nasa moved one of its mobile launchers to a nearby building as a precaution. Mireya villarreal is in cocoa beach in Brevard County where were watching one of the main spots this morning. Mireya, good morning to you. Reporter good morning. Labor day weekend is supposed to be a big weekend along the east coast, but right now dorian is definitely impacting that, and a lot of these businesses are following n following. At cocoa beach, theyre one of the first to order a mandatory evacuation and that goes into effect sunday morning at 8 00 a. M. Time is running out to prepare for Hurricane Dorian and so are supplies that im already good. I have plywood out. Im ready to go. Reporter karen modafferi said shes here for supplies. Youre not taking any chances. Nope, im not. Reporter the uncertainty of where Hurricane Dorian will land has people all along floridas east coast 00erring down. Time to act is now. You do have some time, but that time is running out. Reporter across the state, residents are facing long lines at gas stations and fuel shortages. This is seaport canaveral, the fuel that supplies most of Central Florida that has to come through here. Theres a huge supply. 38 million gallons ready to go. When dorian hits, no doubt this place will have to shut down and that supply will be cut off. David smith is the seaports general manager. We stale open until Emergency Services are closing the causeway and say its no longer safe. Thats when we send our team home. Reporter up to 400 trucks come through this tank farm, transporting fuel to neve airports and gas stations. The plan is to shut it down by saturday night. Small boats will be out of the water and cruise lines will be concern is the uncertainty of where its going and when its coming in the shelves. Homes to make sure they have generators after 12 people died in 2017 when Hurricane Irma knocked out power at nursing homes. Local hospitals started evacuating patients to hospitals inland yesterday. And we know shelters will be open for people sometime tomorrow where theyre leaving but need a safe place to ride out the storm. Best advice, get out of the eye, get out. As mireya said, theyre facing fuel shortages already. A number of stations up and down floridas east coast from jacksonville to miami have already run out. In an effort to take care of it. The gorge has issued more. Floridas busiest travel hubs are this holiday weekend. Mark strassmann is in st. Augustine with that part of the story. Mark, good morning. Good morning. Its Labor Day Weekend, and yet deserted streets like this one are about to become routine with tourist destinations like st. Augustine, americas oldest city. Residents and tourists alike, everyone is tracking the storm in their own way. Dorian makes its slow approach. There are long lines for gas and in some places plastic bags covering the pumps, a sign to drivers in need of fuel to look elsewhere. I do understand, however, no one saw this coming . Reporter the pain may just be beginning for air travelers. Airlines are already sending out alerts to passengers traveling through florida, home to four of the nations biggest airports. On friday the big carriers started offering waivers, allowing passengers to change their flights through florida airports without penalty. With dorian still a few days away, some flyers are making their getaway now. I was really, really worried about having to change my flights and all of my hotels being canceled and stuff like that, but im e going to be leaving earlier than the hurricane gets there. It was quite an adventure, to say the least. It was a nightmare to get the flight to come back sooner, but we finally made it. Reporter day by day here, travel options will keep dropping. By 2 00 a. M. Monday morning, airports in both orlando and Daytona Beach will close. Dana . Mark strassmann. Thank you, mark. Jeff beraradelli, our meteorologist back with us. Jeff, we were talking about we both have family down there, and theyve been preparing for a while. Everybody thought it with us going to hit around that west palm area. Why did it shift so drastically . Ive been a meteorologist a long time. Ive worked in florida 16 years, covering hurricanes. They never cease to amaze me. Its not a perfect science. It could still head to florida. You ask the question, why do they shift . Theyre very defensive. Literally a flick of a butterfly flapping its wings sometimes can send it in a different direction. Thats why its so hard for us to predict. In fact, we have a graphic i want to show you. A butterfly can shift and flap its wings to the east. And that is possible. This is what yesterdays model runs look like. Literally 18 to 24 hours later, were going to click the button and watch it shift to the east. Thats about a 200mile shift, and that makes all the difference in the world. But that is a track thats very familiar to hurricane hugo back in 1989. 7 billion in damage. Can they assist or assess to get out of the way . At this point, yes. Theres plenty of time. Watch out along the north florida coast, carolina coast, even the georgia coast. Everybodys still fair game. All right, jeff. Thank you. President trump is at camp david this morning after postponing a scheduled trip to poland.
