Reporter good morning. These wind and rains are really kicking in since 10 00 a. M. P. M. Have gone on all night long and will pretty much have them all day long. As you mentioned, the hurricane is off shore. Were still feeling 60mileper hour wind in parts of Volusia County where im standing. The good news is this hurricane apparently is not going to have the catastrophic impact initially feared. One side of that, for instance, the power is that maybe by now we wouldnt have power but, of course, obviously we do. There is a curfew in effect by this county that started last will go on until saturday morning. 3800 people are in shelters. By and large people did heed the mandatory order to evacuate. I did run into some holdouts, people that were going to ride out the storm in their homes. They thought they would roll right now, everything appears pretty good. People have their fingers crossed the storm will stay off shore and spare the east coast of florida, which is what everybody here wants. Gayle . A little bit of good news. Thank you. Loni quinn of w cbs is here to show us where its heading in the next few hours. Lonnie, whats the latest . Lets take a peek of the satellite image because i want to dovetail what mark said, keeping their fingers crossed it stays off shore. Thats the big story and is off shore. This is Cape Canaveral right there. This is a little too close for comfort, okay . You could possibly have a landfall within the next two, maybe three hours or so. Its 40 miles eastsoutheast of Cape Canaveral, wind plowing at 120 Miles Per Hour moving north northwest at 13. So we could have that landfall or could just stay right off then curving around, maybe transitioning to a cat 2 around georgia, cat 1 South Carolina, then loop towards the bahamas. I got to point out this is the consensus cone, not the only possibility. Know there are couple of reliable models keeping it pushing north northeast so we have to keep our eye on this and believe it will curve back down. The storm surge will be a big deal and sure enough, 7 to 11 lucie tosa van ghana, georgia, charleston, 4 to 6 feet. You could have could find big rain in georgia, South Carolina, maybe North Carolina. These are projected numbers, just projected, but 9. 3 inches savannah, 15. 8 florence, 13. 3 fayetteville. As of right now, because of the way the eye is situated, and were staying off shore, the heaviest, 120mileperhour wind, tiny band around the eye right now it looks like this becomes a storm, more about the water than the wind. Well keep a close eye on this. Back to you. In thanks, lonnie. We will have full coverage on cbs this morning and scott pelley will be with a team of correspondents throughout the south with storm coverage continues right now on our streaming news network, cbsn. This has been a special report. Im charlie rose with fay let king and norah odonnell, cbs the storm will kill you. This is a very serious situatio. Now on cbs North Carolina, governors in three States Daytona beach shores in florida. They, along with South Carolina and georgia, are under federal states of emergencies this morning. Right now were keeping a close eye on the Sunshine State where matthew weakened into a category 3 around 2 00 this morning but still will bring rain and wind our way. Thats right. Lets check in with alyssa corfont, working very hard to keep up with the latest on matthews projected path. Good morning, guys. This storm has stayed off off shore. The strongest wind with the storm, just 10 miles away from Port Canaveral it has already reported this morn a wind gust of 100 help. In the eye wall is where we see the strongest wind of the hurricane and will continue to see those wind gusts continue to spread on shore of florida. Whether or not it will be it is across daytona beach, orlando, jacksonville and spreading across southern portions of the georgia coastline. Savannah would be the next to see widespread rain in association with Hurricane Matthew. Now, were seeing our rain this morning, heavy showers in nash, edgecombe, wilson counties, and wake counties. This is not associated with Hurricane Matthew but will slow you down as you head for the door this morning. 67 raleigh, 70 goldsboro, 71 clinton, while raeford is at 68 degrees. Heres the forecast for the day ahead, a wet morning, 68, 69 at lunchtime, cloudy and cool, showers continue this afternoon with a high of 71. I do think Hurricane Matthew will spread wind and rain as early as tonight and tomorrow is going to be another wet one for us. More in your complete forecast. Well, matthew may not be here in North Carolina yet but effect at rdu and other painters in the state. Flights are being canceled around the country and here at home. Carleigh griffith has the latest from rdu. Reporter yesterday about 1500 flights across the nation were canceled. So far, 1700 flyings were canceled and here at rdu, a dozen so far. You can see at the departures flights being canceled are to florida, miami, orlando, fort lauderdale. Of course matthew is taking a toll on travel across the country and those able to make flights out of florida are coming to places like raleigh for safety. Our crews yesterday spoke with several passengers here as they arrived from different areas impacted by the hurricane. Some people cut their trips short and others decided they they came here to meet friends or family. So i was fortunate the other people i work with had to drive to tampa to try to get out and two with of them are sheltering in play. Reporter some flights already have been canceled for saturday, over 400. Rdu is posting the latest updates on their website and we do have a link to we will keep you updated at wncn. Com. Thanks, carleigh. Some of our coastal communities returned a state of emergency. Many had evacuation orders in place for several days. Jonathan rodriguez joins us live from Brunswick County, where he cons our coverage. This area under a state of emergency and all of Brunswick County under a state of emergency, the storm plenty of miles from the coast but people want to be prepared because this could see the largest impact. Its been breezy, a slight rain but this morning, we have quite a few storms and lightning up and down the beach. None of this is from matthew yet but points out an interesting problem area. The ground is saturated so if and when it approaches the area, flooding and wind knocking down trees and earlier yesterday we went up and down the coastline to look how people were preparing, board being up windows and doors. They have seen three storm and know what kind of damage it can bring and wanted to make sure they stay prepared for that kind of thing. Everybody playing everything by ear. Theres a mandatory evacuation for visitors on the island and voluntary one for people. People will try to ride this thing out. For the most part, its a clear beach. The pier may close to be safe because there could be surf and storm surge 3 to 6 feet. Back to you. Lets check traffic now with ali. Good morning. Its 6 12. You can see the rain on our traffic cameras, a wet ride in on this friday morning and the map shows you where its falling. Portions of 540 through raleigh will have your wipers on. We have a crash garner at branch street, closer to the downtown raleigh area so a heads up if youre traveling so 95, give yourself extra time and take it slow on 64. Wake forest, if youre traveling on wake falls road, Mountain High road, rolling rocks road, the commute will be tricky so leave early. Durham, 85 getting most of the rain but no crashes to report th to rtp, 23 minutes on 40 from garner to rtp, about 25. Give yourself more time because of the rain almost it will slow things down. Outside the clayton bypass, its busy, wipers on this friday morning. Yeah, you can say that again. Thanks a lot. 6 13 is the time. The southeast isnt the only region dealing with Severe Weather this morning. It got pretty rough around here. Oh, man. Tornadoes in kansas. Temperatures before you get ready to head out the door, 66 southern pines, 69 fayetteville. Yes, a milder morning but for some soggy so grab the while people in the people in kansas clean up from tornadoes that touched down 90 miles north of wichita. Several of them were caught on video and in one case, witnesses had no warning before a tornado appeared. That one apparently destroyed one womans home. The high winds tore the house apart. Several other home and parents were ripped apart, but despite the damage, no injuries were reported. Back to our coverage of Hurricane Matthew. South carolina governor nikki the National Weather service said winds of 110 Miles Per Hour are affected and nearly 300,000 people have evacuated but Governor Haley said 500,000 more need to get out. This is really a serious storm. We have, in every way, tried to prepare as much as possible to keep you safe as possible but we cant take you by the hand and bring you to the upstate. We cant say, we need to get you out of there. President whatever federal help the state needs. Governor haley said that includes generator, food, cots, and shelter. Officials at the air force base are moving their aircraft to louisiana. The base which is located in wayne county is transporting 48 fighter jets and fueling planes and will move personnel stationed on the coast. Behind, people are stepping up to help out. North carolina baptist on mission is ready to send medical and construction teams to haiti. Partner congregations are concerned about a potential cholera outbreak and hope to send aid ahead of workers. Were sending food boxes. Weve already sent money to cuba to help cuban baptists as they rebuild and will purchase food for the community, Building Materials for churches that wer homes. A mobile food unit will head to florida today if the weather allowses with the ability to serve up to 30,000 meals day. I would imagine they will be needed. Absolutely and so much destruction in the caribbean so if this circles around and becomes a double whammy, bad news. Yeah, and i dont think it will circle around to the areas hit hardest such as haiti and cuba. It could impact the bahamas next week but for us, here, that is how it impact us the most. Lets talk about that. A Flash Flood Watch will go into effect today through sunday afternoon and really taking into consideration the amount of water that we received across portions of cumberland, harnett, hoke counties. Some areas received over 10 inches of rain. Also the areas we expect to get rain with and were starting off quite soggy for some of you, rain showers through the coast so heres a live picture of our radar. Rain showers really just streaming from the southeast, moving west so an opposite pattern than what we typically see, the heaviest rain this morning ill have to stop this and bring a closer look, extreme franklin and wayne county, nash, wilson, edgecombe counties, water likely starting those directions. Ali will have a check on traffic in a minute but lets talk about how long rain will impact you today, on and off again throughout the day so a wet morning, 68 at 8 00 p. M. At noon, 59, still cloudy and cool, showers towards the afternoon high, 71. It will be breezy today but matthew just on the doorstep of florida this morning, port this is a dangerous storm as is very close by the eye wall, 10 miles away from Port Canaveral this morning moving at wind off shore. Saturday afternoon, its off the coast of charleston, South Carolina, then a southeasterly turn we like to see in north around as a Tropical Storm as it could approach the back ham mass towards the middle of next week. Lets talk about our area, scattered showers this morning through lunch and into that evening drive home and this is not associated with matthew. Matthew comes into the picture tonight into tomorrow, moving across columbia, South Carolina, charleston, South Carolina. First thing tomorrow morning its spreading into our area and will coin the area, very heavy at times, strong wind gusts associated with this. You can see that yellow cone starts to move across hoke, cumberland, sampson county, wind 39 Miles Per Hour or stronger saturday afternoon and gets the boot out of here sunday so summing this up for you, triangle, 2 to 4 inches of rain with matthew into our day areas south and east. Low 70s today in raleigh and durham, 75 fayetteville. Tonight, 67, showers still around and will be mild and breezy. The best rain chances with matthew come through on saturday, 71, 70 on sun and then the sunshine is here monday, tuesday, wednesday, and thursday of next week and if i do say so myself, we have definitely earned some sunshine. It w morning. Lets turn it to ali. We have a crash on i85 and u. S. 70, part of it cleared up and is not affecting traffic but a good reminder if youre heading out the door on this friday morning to take it slow. If you take a look at maps, we have a crash closer to downtown raleigh, one darner at branch street, heads up in that area, not seeing slowdown traffic but nash counties, we have ponding so 34, 64, 95, all roads affected. Rocky mount, the blue is where the rain is starting to pond on the roadways to make it extra slick, perfect to hydroplane, kingston avenue, as you travel through rocky mount. Durham, 85 getting most of the rain there and parts of 70 but so far pretty good and rtp, average times this time of year. 23 minutes from garner to rtp, taking 40 23. Taking you outside to i40 at barbie road, cars, a lot of them taking it slow on this friday morning rush. I imagine a lot of folks are evacuating. Other major interstates in North Carolina, a lot of evacuees. Expect a lot of traffic, Hurricane Matthew unprecedented and its Economic Impact could match that. How much the storm could end up costing the country. And how its impacting one its whats on your mind every morning, are they safe . Its on ours, too. Im josh stein.
