of life guards saying stay out of this water. it's forecast to become a hurricane, but still a hurricane right off the shore in cape hatteras in north carolina. as it tracks up the east coast, these waves are going to be charleston, wilmington, myrtle, right into the outer banks. it's going to make its closest approach 80 miles an hour. guess when? friday july 4th, around 8 a.m. right there is going to make its closest approach to the u.s. we're going to make these waves for all the east coast beaches. think about the millions, probably tens of millions of people that will be up and down this east coast this week. so please be careful out there. john, michaela back to you. >> flooding is going to be a concern when you have that amount of water and storm surge coming our way. but talk about the track of it. are we looking at this sticking around through the weekend?
