Sheena, this storm is going to bring a lot of rain. Yeah, a lot of rain but also a lot of wind. The onshore wind is going to be one of the biggest concerns along the shore, continuing to push water inland. That will be the case over the next few days certainly. Right now around the philadelphia area, though, we have pretty light to moderate rain through upper bucks, so creating a wet evening community, slower roadways, and this will be the case tomorrow, both morning and evening commute. Rains down to the south and offshore will begin to move in through the day tomorrow with winds increasing also. So we have a first alert weather day friday through saturday with high winds, heavy rain, we could see localized flooding inland, but also coastal flooding, beach erosion and storm surge about a threefoot storm surge with high tide that will be in place for tomorrow morning, as well. Here is a look at future weather. This is midnight tonight. We could see winds gusting 35 to 40 miles an hour along the shore. A persistent strong wind even as we go through friday afternoon, bit of an onshore wind along the shore, but gusting anywhere from 40 to 45 miles an hour. Even inland well see the wind gusts, but along the shore were looking at a windy start to the weekend, gusting close to 40 miles an hour possibly and even as we go into saturday afternoon still gusting near 40 miles an hour. So this is going to create some concerns as we go into the day friday and also saturday. Rainfall totals could be anywhere from two to four inches locally. Winds sustained 20 to 30 miles an hour along the shore, but gusts closer to 40. Beach erosion, storm surge, and coastal Flood Warning out for our shore points. This is something well keep a close eye on and track changes to Hurricane Joaquin. Well talk about that coming up. All right. Todays storms brought flood waters, Ted Greenberg reports from Atlantic County on what people had to deal with. Reporter wind whipped waters surged into streets in ventnor at high tide this afternoon, leaving kelly smith stuck as she tried to get to her moms house. Cant get there its so flooded. Todays flooding marked the first of several rounds expected to hit the jersey shore through sunday. The northeast winds been blowing for so long now. Its not going out to tide, so, you know, this could get bad. That constant onshore wind will cause water to keep piling up in the back bay. Atlantic county Emergency Management officials expect the region to be hit with the worst flooding since Hurricane Sandy nearly three years ago. People do not want to see this now. Theres people that havent even recovered from sandy yet. Get yourselves back together and now we have this happening. In longport, the ocean crashed on to pavement fuelled by massive waves that are only expected to get bigger. Really, really rough. What i dont like is this is just the beginning. Its going to be next three days are going to be really rough. Nearby, a pair of bull dozers closed up beach access paths with mountains of sand to help block the surf from flowing on to streets. It is very frustrating. Im very scared. We dont need to go through this again and have more damage. Im Ted Greenberg, nbc 10 news. And while we deal with storms today and tonight, Hurricane Joaquin is gaining strength. Its now a category 4 storm. Check it out on the radar. It hasnt really started to move just yet. New jersey declared a state of emergency though today. Be prepared but dont panic, thats the message from governor chris christie. Christie says he will consider evacuations if it becomes necessary. Governor ordered extra supplies stained in atlantic, cape may, sunderland, and cumberland counties so they can be delivered tomorrow. Now is the time for you to begin to prepare for hunkering down and dealing with the storm. If an evacuation is necessary, as i said, well give you as much advanced notice of the need for evacuation as we probably can. Lets go back to first alert meteorologist Sheena Parveen for the latest on joaquins track. Sheena . Weve seen changes to joaquins track, but again the storm is still quite a ways away. Its not even left the bahamas yet, so until it leaves the bahamas and heads north, then well have a better idea on the track of the storm, we need to see whats going to be steering that storm. Right now it has increased in intensity to a category 4 hurricane, max winds 130 miles an hour, hasnt turned north yet, but when it does, the track is suggesting this. Again, this is subject to change. Hurricanes all the time will be at least a little bit changing in the predicted track. By sunday 2 00 p. M. , possibly off the carolina coast as a category 2, so at this point the track is then suggesting more of an offshore turn, so that will be keeping it farther away from our area. Again, this is still far out in time, thats why the cone gets wider, the uncertainty gets greater. Hurricanes can be tricky until they actually start taking on a track. Right now, though, its expected monday into tuesday it would be closest, but more models today are suggesting that offshore turn. Take a look at some of the computer models to see where the storm may go. Some are moving inland and some are moving offshore, suggesting more of that offshore turn, which would then be giving us less of an impact locally. Well talk more about this and the heavy rain and when we expect overnight and tomorrow all coming up. All right, sheena. On the pennsylvania side of things, Governor Tom Wolf says they are ready in case they need to sign the declaration. I think its too early to say were not going to get hit. Again, as they always say, hoping for the best but preparing for the worst. And we have you covered in delaware, as well. Tim furlong joining us live tonight from luwes. Tim . Reporter take a look at this. This is the kind of wind were dealing with here. You can see right off the beach, i want to show you where we are. See that jetty out there . More or less thats where the Atlantic Ocean and cape may ferry comes in. This is technically the bay here. This is a spot, you know, east of downtown near the ocean. This area right over here really goes under water, went under during sandy. Were not there yet, but like everybodys been saying, we keep hearing the phrase preparing for the worst. Dont know how much chicken josephine will sell in dover today. Shes hoping some of the nascar fans will come out in the rain to see her. Weathers not good for racing, but still people out there, everyone has to keep a good heart and smile on their face. Reporter the weather is really bad at Broadkill Beach. Why is melinda so happy . I cant say it enough, we are very fortunate. Reporter all the sand dredged from delaware bay to make it easier for ships to pass, that sand is now on her beach. We were on the street almost exactly two years ago and saw how the water from the bay took over. Actually, it did take all of our flooring and everything had to be replaced. This outfit stepped down a couple years ago now has a ton of protection around it. This weekend will be the first big test for the hard work and dredging here. Unfortunately, hasnt reached the neighbors south just yet. An official tells me Broadkill Beach can withstand a good onetwo punch, but nothing is perfect. When we put sand on the beach, its a sacrifice, we know it is. The ocean is going to tear into it, do what its going to do. Reporter and the downside of these highly ventilated jackets is the wind comes in and puffs you up and lets the water in. Not a comfortable night in delaware at all. They had the university of delaware ocean camp down the road, thousands of people come every year for that event. Its already been cancelled. The parade of nascar haulers in dover was cancelled, as well. Looks like a lot of the great stuff expecting in delaware this weekend is not going to happen. Again on a more serious note, the governor is monitoring the situation and make adjustments to the plan as needed depending on the track of the storm coming up this weekend.

Lauren mayk spoke to a Water Proofing expert about precautions you can take tonight ahead of the tomorrow. Jay unger has lived here for 30 years and seen a lot of rain. Unfortunately, some of it ended up in his house. How high have you ever seen the water get in here . When the pipe under the sink busted, six inches. Reporter with every hard rain he knew to expect it. How frustrating was that . It was frustrating because of the smell. Reporter recently he decided it was time for some renovations.

Busy day in the weather center, Sheena Parveen, sheena . Were talking about a first alert weather day tomorrow, into saturday, so we expect more wind than today and also some heavier rain starting to move in. Onshore persistent wind gives us concerns at the shore. Heavy downpours will start to move in through the day tomorrow, some areas seeing locally heavy rain. Areas of flooding going to be a concern with beach erosion and even the potential for a threefoot storm surge coinciding with high tide tomorrow morning. Right now we have heavy rain moving into sussex county, through parts of upper bucks and Montgomery County. Over 476 the major interstate surrounding philadelphia, so a slow evening commute. This goes up through the lehigh valley, too, and the wet evening commute and the winds are still up, too. Going to get windier overnight tonight. A lot of rain offshore and down to the south moving inland through tomorrow. Right now winds are gusting around 20 miles an hour, but more sustained around ten to 15 through the area. Take a look at cape may right now. This is a live look at cape may. We do, in fact, have a few surfers out in the water. Take a look at the tractor here, this is actually been pushing sand a little farther onshore and i think they are doing this in a sense to create a tiny sand dune, which would then not cause as much inland flooding and beach erosion and things like that. Cape may do appear to be taking precautions right now with the sand. Right now 58 degrees in cape may, winds are increasing, closer to 25 miles an hour. And as we go through the rest of the evening, wind speeds expected to increase by 10 00 tomorrow morning you see rain moving onshore gusting near 25 miles an hour in philadelphia, winds gusting closer to 40 to 45 miles an hour. Closer to the shore tomorrow, and that persistent onshore wind will continue into tomorrow night. The rain will still be here, so rainy and windy, and i have to mention this is not Hurricane Joaquin. This is a separate system moving in before the storm gets closer to us. By saturday morning, winds gusting closer to about 30, 40 miles an hour. Still windy with some rain around saturday, and this is going to lead us into sunday morning, so we still expect an onshore wind along the shore, gusty winds inland. For the shore points we have a coastal Flood Warning out through the weekend. Onshore winds closer to 40 miles an hour gusting wave heights eight to 12 feet, beach erosion is expected in many locations and the storm surge models here do suggest about three feet, possibly even high tide. The rainfall totals anywhere from one to two inches. Two to three inches locally going through saturday afternoon. Now were looking at Hurricane Joaquin. Still around the bahamas, it is still a category 4. This is a major storm, but as it finally starts to take a northerly turn, sunday 3 00 p. M. Off the carolina coast and the updated track has shifted it a little farther offshore. Some of the computer models are actually favoring this more today than they did yesterday, so farther out to sea sheena, im going to interrupt you. We want to go to the white house where president obama is expected to remark. His first comments regarding todays shooting an Umpqua Community college in roseburg, oregon, where at least 13 people may have been killed, as many as 20 injured today in a mass shooting by a lone gunman on that campus. It happened a little after 10 30 this morning pacific time when that shooter opened fire inside a classroom and was eventually taken down by police. Nbc 10s Chris Jansing is in the Briefing Room right now. Chris, what are you being told there . The president made a decision a short time ago he had to speak on this and im reminded what he had to say in charleston when he gave the eulogy, it would be a betrayal if we let this pass in silence. The president has said many times before that this has no place in a Civilized Society and he talked about the unique mayhem that gun violence in this country has caused as opposed to many other civilized countries around the world. At least seven times he has traveled to the site of Mass Shootings, most recently charleston and hes come out to this podium before, but hes had no success in getting what he calls common sense Gun Legislation passed, lester . And here is the president. Theres been another mass shooting in america. This time in a Community College in oregon. That means there are more american families, moms, dads, childr children, whose lives have been changed forever. That means theres another community stunned with grief and communities across the country forced to relieve their own anguish and parents across the country who are scared because they know it might have been their families or their children. Ive been to roseburg, oregon. They are really good people there. I want to thank all the First Responders whose bravery likely saved some lives today. Federal
