New at 11 00 a state of emergency. The governors of florida and North Carolina both declaring one as Hurricane Matthew churns this way. Good evening. Im wendy ryan. Im paul la jamison uhler. This is some of the heavy rain people in jamaica are already seeing. The storm is expected to hit haiti the hardest. Lets go right to chief meteorologist denis phillips. This is going to be a devastating night for haiti. This will be moving on shore right on the western tip of haiti with winds of about 145 Miles Per Hour, a surge of incredible rainfall totals. This is a nasty hurricane, category 4, Even Stronger now than it was earlier on. The lowest pressure thats been recorded at 934 millibars. Where is it going . The new track that just came out has given us a little bit of a change compared to the 5 00 track. And as we expected it is a little more to the west. Our computer models have been trending that way for the last day or so, so we kind of figured the Hurricane Center would go a little bit closer. At this point there watches or warnings in effect for florida. I think there will be at 5 00 a. M. Across the southeastern part of the state. Category 4 hurricane, then staying at cat 3 through the bahamas. The area that we have to concern ourselves with would be thursday through friday. The west side of these storms is noticeably weaker than the east side. If this track were to verify the worst that we could see in our area, polk county, Tropical Storm force winds. None of that expected along the coast. If it were to go more to the west thats another story, and that is a possibility. Hurricane force winds only extend 50 miles from the center, but tropical form force winds extend 200 miles from the center, and theres a chance they could go even larger as they go through the bahamas and brushing the east side of florida. There are the spaghetti models. Theres that westward trend. These models on the west side were not right here i think is a very accurate track that will give us the worst weather in our area thursday over on the east coast, potentially some hurricane conditions along the immediate coastline from melbourne, daytona, all the way down to miami. More on that and how it impact our weather through the rest of the week in a couple of weeks.

Hes never going to forget that, no doubt. Grew up on theer of see shore. You know the boss. Oh yeah. So youve got a lot to talk about with this hurricane coming. The jersey shore, actually coast and the bahamas. A lot to talk about. Beautiful evening. Gorgeous sunthem. Is from diana in clearwater. We had lots of sun shipe we did see some storms around this afternoon and this evening. Tomorrow were still going to have our taste of surges even into wednesday, and then thursday and friday, all depends on whats going on with matthew. Well get into that in a theres still some rain and lightning in the gulf of mexico, and it will stay there. Tomorrow morning i think we will be dry to start the day. Maybe storms later on. Temperatures low to mid70s right now. Tampa right now 75, partly cloudy. Clearwater still some clouds as is st. Pete with temperatures in the mid to upper 70s. Theres a look at satellite picture. Todays cloud cover, todays rain nothing to do with matthew. We had some storms out in the gulf of mexico, and those clouds blah in from the you can see where they did, and that spawned the rain. Now, tomorrow were going get more of our east to southeast wind like we typically see you know july and august and september. And in doing so, i suspect that will touch off another round of storms tomorrow afternoon. Not in the morning. When you wake up there will still be plenty of clouds, but it should be dry. Even by lunchtime maybe nothing more than a few isolated showers, but by 4 00 we begin to see a few more. And then by later on, eastly the isolated showers chances until probably sometime about 10 00 or 11 00. Wednesday morning, same thing. Exact same setup. Quiet, although some storms and a little more moisture by late afternoon, early evening. Indirectly could be related to whats going on down to the south. Thursday and friday, thats another story entirely. Thats when well have to start looking, especially on the east coast. Lets talk about that. You look at overall rainfall totals, the gfs model. Of florida. So obviously thats where the heavy rain is. This storm, unless there is a dramatic change in track, will not be a major rain event for us. So worried about flooding . You dont have to. Its coming in from the east, and i think if that track stays anywhere from the coast of florida east, then theres nothing to worry about. This is what impacts were expecting in the state of county, desoto, high larntiondz you could see winds of 40 to 50 Miles Per Hour. Obviously if its more to the west it would be higher. But lets not talk about that because that is not the forecast. At this point were on the west side of that storm. That is the dryer side. Far less severe weather. But over on the east coast there is a definite possibility, especially down from, say, jupiter south of hurricaneforce winds, especial nearer. Theres the track. Just a devastating night and day tomorrow for haiti. It is going to continue to move off to the north, touch by cuba, hang out in the bahamas for a couple of day, then move up the eastern seaboard and flirt with the carolinas. South carolina or North Carolina are both in play. But for us this track has moved a little bit to the west from the 5 00 advisory. But it is still offshore. And as long as it stays offshore we have got nothing to worry about. Now, if it goes on the far side some changes. But at this point in time, lets not even go there. The way i see this right now, this track may draw a little bit closer to the coast, but i do not believe it goes far inland. I think our interior counties have a little more to worry about with wind of maybe 40, 44 Miles Per Hour at times. You can even see the wind field. The hurricane winds start to wind down. Im going to focus more on the Tropical Storm force winds. They go out 20 miles from the center. So if the ends up there its possib see Tropical Storm force winds later thursday into friday. If you live along the coast, if you live on the west coast of florida, at this point based on the current track, you have nothing to worry about. Again, if it changes, well let you know on facebook. Were on 24 7. This is the track it is a goes into the bahamas. A formidable symptoms, but at this point expect to the stay just to the east of the coastline. Heres a look at floridas most accurate sevenday forecast. Matthew. After it leaves by friday light we dry out and actually cool off with high temperatures in the mid80s and rain chances down near zero. Denis, thank you. It looks like the gators could return to full strength at quarterback just in time for a date with lsu. Tom korun has the update tonight on luke del rio next in havertys furniture helps your home look perfect even when life isnt nice pick. Pops, your pick. Art monk retired. Aw come on, man. Thats not how this game works. Art monk i want to change my name to hot mamma lame. Youre lame. No im not writing down somebody whos retired baby, im changing my name to hot momma. Thats not how this works. The fall Savings Event is on now at havertys. Hello folks. Folks in gainesville want to know who will start at quarterback against lsu in the swamplet its not definite and probably wont be determined until la saturday. Del rio has missed two games with a sprained knee. Jim mcelwain said that del rio has been targeting this return for his game. We will see exactly where and how much that swells, where the pain, and where the stability is. So those two guys, hell get obviously austin will, and that will be something well decide later in the week. But this was something i know luke had been kind of targeting a little bit. So, you know, part of it is his his mindset hes going to play. And thats good. That is what you want. A big game in south florida this weekend. 10th ranked miami hosting fsu. They definitely looked ahead last week from the easy fashions. The noles three 1 2 point underdogs. Youve got to give mark richt credit. That game kicks off right here on abc at 8 00. The buccaneers are still in a Holding Pattern right now on how long defensive tackle will be out with injuries. Mccoy hurt his left calf against denver yesterday. He left the stadium with a bat on his foot. The buccaneers have signed john hughes who spent four years with the browns. Noah spence right here leaving the stadium with his right arm in a sling. Its believed he suffered a shoulder injury. Both players will have mris. Neither is expected to play monday night against carolina, overcome, especially mccoy. We dont know exactly ace stand up here now. Obviously when you lose a player like any amount of time it hurts. With that said, Clinton Mcdonald stepped up, had his best game of the years and i his best game of the year. He was escorted out of the dressing room following warmups. He had just suffered leg cramps. On the flip side the panthers have a quarterback dilemma. Cam newton had his bell rung protocol. They did say that others would have clocked newton for slowing down at the goal line, too. Not a smart move. Were back in a minute and so theres a look outside on tuesday morning. Of course we will be tracking matthew. Ivan will be in first thing in the morning. High temperatures upper 80s.
