Emerald isle, still the norfolk, Virginia Beach areas. It only drops in intensity to about a category 2 for eastern North Carolina. Category 2 is you are going to have some damage, you are going to have some significant problems and Power Outages, too. That would potentially be thursday night into friday. Thats the new part of that forecast. For people that have interests up in new england, only cape cod and nantucket, Marthas Vineyard are in that cone, by then it would be transitioning into a noreaster storm. It does look like nova scotia will get hit with this likely with winds up to 80 to 90 Miles Per Hour. Dorian will still brush areas of the east coast. This was our american model that brings it almost on shore in eastern North Carolina and the european model looks very similar to that. The big summary, with the new update, is that dorian has weakened, but its not supposed to weaken much after this and areas of South Carolina and North Carolina especially need to prepare for the potential of a direct landfall of a category 2 hurricane. Lets talk a little bit about that. If you are sitting in florida right now, to a certain extent you are breathing a sigh of relief because you are seeing this entire cone of uncertainty saying off the coast of florida, the storm surge still could very much be a problem. But then as we move up the coast we are looking at myrtle beach, wilmington, cape hatteras, charleston, we have one of our reporters in charleston, South Carolina, right now. Those within the cone of uncertainty. So what type of conditions could they be seeing come wednesday morning, thursday worst case for did with flor. The trend overnight was closer to a landfall in the carolinas. Bill karins, thanks for that. We will have updates throughout the hour. Joining us from jensen beach, florida, Gabe Gutierrez with a perspective on the ground. Give us the sense of preparations, how concerned are still people feeling this morning given the path we just heard from bill karins . Reporter good morning. Residents in florida for several days and this has been for some of them a very frustrating suppt through florida, then the path changed, its supposed to go to the north and east, some of them breathed a sigh of relief, then there was concern as it started to go over the bahamas could it wobble westward. Weve been in jensen beach for 24 hours. We have seen some occasional rain, some wind, right now its pretty calm, you can see the water here, were right up against it. There is some choppy water here and, you know, there is some storm surge expected where parking lots could potentially within the next 24 hours be flooded. For the most part thankfully this part of florida seems to be breathing a sign of relief. There are mandatory evacuations in order for much of the florida coast, more than a million residents in florida, georgia and South Carolina ordered to evacuate as Hurricane Dorian makes its way up the east coast. Now, local officials and floridas governor are urging people to remain vigilant, some 85 emergency shelters are open here in florida and some 4500 members of the Florida National guard are at the ready, but as we just heard bill karins say, this is expected to go just a little bit you know, just off the coast, but we could get Tropical Storm force winds here, so officials are urging people not to let their guard down, but at this point, yes, it appears that it will stay offshore. Many businesses are boarded up, many people evacuated. Just after 5 00 a. M. In jensen beach, florida, gabe gutierr gutierrez, threw. Lets go to julia bag live from Daytona Beach, florida. Reporter i just got off the phone with Emergency Managers who are holding their breath, they are hoping that dorian stays just far enough off the coast not to cause any major problems here, but there is still that threat for storm surge. Just behind me here the Halifax River in this area is where theyre worried about that. Weve seen businesses with sandbags out in front, of course, also plywood blocking the windows. With err not out of the woods here yet because even with dorian remaining gentleman you have shore still too close for comfort. Volusia county under a mandatory evacuation order. To the east of i95 and east of the intra coastal. So families just as of last night i was speaking with some of them who had been checking into a hotel. You know, the frustration that you heard gabe talking about, thats shared by many families here, wondering, you know, is it worth it, do i really need to move inland, but doing it just to be safe. Thats been the advice of Emergency Managers here and even as far north as jacksonville where we have been ourselves. So right now this morning, though, we have not seen very much in the way of rain. We have seen some winds picking up here. And the concern about the winds is keeping those bridges open that go over to the intra coastal. I just checked again, they are still open, were seeing a few cars go over across and come back, but not very many people on the streets because, again, we have a curfew still in effect until 6 00 this morning and plans are for that curfew to go back into effect tonight, again, at 6 00 for another 12 hours as we keep watching and waiting here in Daytona Beach. Julia bagg, thank you. And this weekend as Hurricane Dorian ties the record for the most powerful atlantic hurricane to hit the bahamas and continues to threaten coasts of florida, georgia and South Carolina, the president of the United States chose to spend part of his labor day golfing. Photos of the president teeing up at his Virginia Golf Club surfaced on monday as the hurricane still loomed closer to the United States. White House Press SecretaryStephanie Grisham insisted the president was briefed on Hurricane Dorian and was receiving hourly updates, but he did not have anything publicly scheduled for the day. The president retweeted several updates from the National Hurricane center throughout the holiday. Trump did take heat for his actions as one mayor told politico, quote, he is clearly busy dealing with a hurricane out on the golf course. House democrats plan to investigate president trumps alleged role in hush money payments to two women in 2016. According people familiar with the matter the house jose diazbalart is preparing to hold hearings and call witnesses connected to payments made to Karen Mcdougal and Stormy Daniels as soon as october. The washington is reporting. Democrats believe they have enough evidence to name trump as a coconspirator in the episode that resulted in his former fixer Michael Cohen pleading guilt to Campaign Finance charges back in august of 2018. The president s lawyers have repeatedly denied that trump committed any wrongdoing. Joining us now white house and washington reporter for politico, daniel littman. What do you make of House Democrats going after details of president trumps alleged hush money payments. I can see some on capitol hill saying this is over and done with. They clearly find this to be a release valve because nancy pelosi does not want to go to impeachment yet because the public support is not there and the senate votes are not there as well. So if you have david pecker on the stand, trumps former friend, talking about trumps actions on this, then its a good way to tell the public and the democratic liberal base that they are still working to hold trump accountable. I want to turn back to Hurricane Dorian for a moment. How is the Trump Administration bracing for the storms impact here, seeing the president on the golf course yesterday. Trump has sent a blizzard of tweets, more than 120 over the long weekend, and he is kind of playing town cry yer, thats what the New York Times said in issuing these storm warnings. He made some mistakes talking about alabama, which is not in the storms path and then went after jon karl for correcting him on that. But with an acting head of fema, acting head of dhs, the Trump Administration is trying to get ahead of this storm given that their response to puerto rico was criticized. But so far trump is getting those hourly updates on the golf course and off the golf course. So they hope to avoid any pr disaster. It was interesting also to see i think it was the twitter account for either the governor of alabama or somebody from the National Weather center who tweeted out directly saying alabama will not be affected by this hurricane. To clear things up. Only 20 minutes after trump had tweeted. Just for clarity. The government is correcting the president. Awkward indeed. Daniel, thank you very much. We will talk to you in just a little bit. Current state of affairs. Still ahead, new details about a deadly boat fire in california, at least eight people are dead. Authorities say the death toll could be as high as 34. Plus after facing backlash the Trump Administration back tracks on its plan to deport migrants seeking lifesaving medical care.

Our mission and focus now is search, rescue and recovery. I ask for your prayers for those in affected areas and for our first responders. All right. So that was the Prime Minister of the bahamas speaking yesterday. I want to get another check on the path of Hurricane Dorian with the latest updates with nbc meteorologist bill karins. The incredible thing is as we are seeing the Prime Minister there speak about the conditions that his residents are facing in the bahamas, its still there. Theyre still dealing with it right now. Its still about 18 hours straight now its been just to the north of grand bahama island and over 24 hours, almost 36 hours since the landfall. Its crazy. Today its going to be moving away, so, you know, they need to get helicopters in there and stuff, but they have to wait for the winds to come down enough so its safe. Hoping maybe the end of today maybe they can try to get into some of those areas to try to help to begin the rescue. Who knows how long thats going to take considering when you survey all the damage and destruction. Hopefully by wednesday its far enough away that theres ships from britain sending one of their ships, theres a bunch of help coming, but they just need the storm to leave and then they can get in there. And that will happen. I mean, i imagine by the time we get to wednesday morning the storm will be all the way up here off the Daytona Beach area. So that should be far enough away that the seas will get low enough and the seas will die off enough. Maybe by the end of today they can try to get some of the Emergency Response people in there. I mean, theyre going to need help for so long and so much help, too. So the forecast path, this was the big update that we just got in. Were still looking at the potential here, category 2 hurricane landfall in areas from South Carolina and North Carolina and direct impacts of wind surge and also areas could be dealing with inland rainfall problems, too. Here is the storm surge map and theyre still saying 4 to 7 feet. Even though this storm is going to be 100, maybe 125 miles off the coast they still think that 4 to 7 foot is possible. The winds wont be that bad, about err not going to see all that much in the way of Power Outages and damage in florida, but that storm surge could cause significant problems at the high tide cycles as we go throughout the next two days. Then we will wait and see further up the coast how bad it is. As far as the impacts go, in florida moderate storm surge issues, in georgia, same thing, especially storm surge, not too concerned with inland flooding or wind gusts, but then because we could get the core of the storm heading inland in the South Carolina or North Carolina, ive got moderate impacts for wind, inland flooding and the possibility of storm surge. Thats where we are at with dorian now. It will be leaving the bahamas during the day today. All right. We will hope that International Aid effort can make its way to the island as soon as possible. I know theyre going to need it in the days ahead. Thank you, bill. Switching gears for a moment. Top seeded naomi osaka will not repeat as u. S. Open champion.
