We have two parts of matthew train side which going be devastating for islands and the wind. It is still a category four hurricane. Lets talk about this. We have a lot no get through here. 130 Miles Per Hour winds with pressure down to 943. Now, one thing it is moving vagary slowly to north and you almost see like a few matthews here in these cluster which can put down inchs and inches in just the bo the issue. It has already begun to cause, as you can see there haiti and this just continues to slow low move north. Thats rain part of it here we expect upwards of a couple of feet if not more. Theres jamaica with the hurricane warning. Pay attention to the wind here. Currently it is at 130. Im not expecting that to increase in intensity, it is holding at 130 through tonight, making land fall or just tip there of haiti and heading into the east part of cuba where we have began tan ma city, theyre going to have to deal with this as well. 130 Miles Per Hour winds and then it heads to the north, hooks west which we dont like but we think it will head east of florida. Thats what were thinking right now. With additional model runs it can change ly show you the difference in the european and u. S. Model but had is a track that would give us some gusty winds on thursday and friday we would be on the drier side of the storm. If this holds i think we will be in pretty desen shape the winds, this is important as well. With matthew, the Tropical Storm force winds which is 39 or above extend out almost 200 miles but the hurricane forced winds only about 30 miles so the more destructive winds are very concentrated near the senor. Thats where we will talk about significant winds right where us will talk about certainly gusty winds but very heavy rain fall is a primary threat across the islands. The european and u. S. we show you this all the time. Watch the agreement and we like to see the agreement because we have high confidence in the forecast. There it is across eastern cuba through Tuesday Morning but watch what happens as we put into this motion through friday and into saturday. There they go, separating, and i will tell wow what the latest runs from this european have this way too close to florida so this has to be watched very leslie. Theres the u. S. Going well to north and east. Until we have a better consensus east or west it will make a huge difference on what we have especially along the east coast of florida. For us if the track hold it is way it is right now or moves further east, we are looking at 20 to 25 Miles Per Hour winds for our area, dry side of the storm, sunny, winds di conditions on thursday and friday. If it moves further to west, we across the eastern part of the state. So that is all we have to play with the next few days. We still have plenty of time to watch it for us, of course an imminent threat along the caribbean. What we have to deal with is what we had yesterday. Look at this line that crossed us yesterday with one to three inch rain fall. We have a potential to repeat through later this afternoon because of that east wind, which by the way is indirectly, already affecting us from matthew down to the south. That east flow continues and look at what happens as i put future cast into motion. Not doing much and they hit the sea breeze and we talk about explosive rain fall totals later on today, upwards of three inches not out of the question. So forecast about 87 for the afternoon high and between 4 00 to 7 00. If you have outdoor plans, we are talking about a nonoctober event here, very tropical rains that could accumulate very quickly. Tuesday and wednesday still and then depending on the fact track of matthew, still calling for breezy conditions for thursday and friday, with diminishing rain chances into the weekend. Im sorry.
