The same token we have a powerful dangerous hurricane near the bahamas and Hurricane Joaquin is now a category four with winds sustained at 134 Miles Per Hour. Its a classic looking hurricane, with circular motion and there is the eye in the middle and now its drifting to the south and west and has not made the turn to the north yet and it eventually will over the next 12 to 24 hours, the storm has deepened because of the very warm waters down near the southern atlantic and temperatures in the mid to upper 80s, that is where its getting its juice from, we take a look at the spaghetti plots, there is still a widespread where it could go, however the general trend now is to keep it over the open waters over the atlantic as it shifts away from the coast and push its to the east. Very much like the european model who has had that trend since joaquin has become a fix your we are watching, the chance of a landfalling hurricane, a 40 chance for new england hit and 10 chance and now 50 chance that joaquin could stay out to sea and not be a player in our forecast this weekend. But if that is the case we still have dangerous weather to go through at the shore. Ill bring in cecily tynan with more on beach erosion and coastal flooding. Even if joaquin heads out to see, and that is what we hope for, the pattern will bring coastal flooding and high winds and rain. Satellite 6 along with action radar showing a stationary front off the eastern seaboard and the line of showers and we have a Pressure Gradient and a blocking High Pressure, it funnels in winds from the east, that is happening as we head through the day tomorrow and through saturday and you can see how we are beginning to see some rain pushing inland and a lot more is on the way tomorrow, future tracker 6 showing into saturday morning we are looking at an inch to inch and a half of rain especially across the i95 corridor and closer to the shore, that amount of rain does not cause flooding, the problem with coastal flooding is the wind, the wind gusts will be phenomenal tomorrow afternoon and inland winds of 50 Miles Per Hour and they intensify into saturday, so a wind advisory is mosted along the shore, it piles the water up along the coast, so this is the problem with coastal flooding, coastal flood warnings are expected into sunday and waves 8 to 12 feet high and surfers like this kind of wave action and rip currents are a problem and have you to stay out of the water and we expect coastal flooding. Adam will have more coming up in the full accuweather forecast. In anticipation of what could be coastal flooding, governor Chris Christie declared a state of emergency in new jersey today. The Emergency Declaration sets into motion a series of events all of them aimed at getting the state ready for what could come and christy urged residents to be prepared. We need you to prepare and not panic. The governor says that d. O. T. And utility crews are already getting into position to deal with any damage that the storm might cause, he will consider evacuations should they prove necessary. State of emergency or not, people at the jersey shore are bracing for what promises to be a trying few days and they are doing all with the memory of hurricane sandy. Nora muchanic is live now in brigantine with what is already a wild scene there. Reporter it is, the winds cecily was talking about are here now, wind and on and off rain and choppy conditions here at the ocean and the bay, the action in the water is an individual reminder of what happened to the shore three years ago and why people are taking joaquin so seriously. A couple of more days its going to be crazy. Restaurant owner vernon, was on the beach yesterday watching as a bulldozer sealed off a beach entrance with piles of sand. A necessary precaution. We could have 6 to 8 to 12 waves, if it is not shut off the water will come through the entrances and youll get the ocean meets the bay. This is why boat owners are scrambling to get their vessels out of the water. A big blow for sandy and lost a lot of boats. You know, people didnt pull them out and im going to take mine out. Better safe than sorry. The boat ramp was busy all day with folks hauling their boats ought one after the other. And busy at marinas too. The phone is ringing off the hook, people are panicking, i dont think its going to be a big storm, a tropical thing on monday, but they want out and we have to pull them. Emergency management says that floodgates are being cleared to keep from flooding and if this floods, pumps are on stand by to force water back into the bay and they will make use of surplus military vehicles they have aacquired including this 5 ton transport truck. They can get into keep water to get people from their houses. Everyone remembers the devastating affects of sandy in 2012, the hope is joaquin will not be as destructive. And not a need to rescue people from their homes this time around. Im nora muchanic, channel 6 action news. Thank you.

A scary time at the shore for the next 24 to 36 hours, we have light showers and some areas seeing moderate rain on double scan live radar and well close in and see the yellows popping over center city and many of our major thoroughfares for the evening rush hour, the schuylkill expressway as you head south on route 1 in chester county, a steady rain dampening our roadways, also you note the big drop in temperature today, we have the north northern easterly wind pulling the numbers into the mid to upper 50s presently and the only spot near 60 at cape may and beach haven near the shore, look at the 24 hour change kbcompared t this time yesterday. 12 to 13 degrees cooler north and west. As we look at satellite and radar, a stalled boundary at the coast and tropical moisture from the south, again none of this has to do with Hurricane Joaquin, that is a completely separate entity we are watching here through the end of the week and weekend xg look at the expected rainfall totals, philadelphia an inch and a half. We may escape some the flooding rains inland, its being pushed way down to the South Charleston west 5 to 15 inches of rain is likely where they see the hardest hitting area of any effects indirectly from joaquin and the stalled boundary, future tracker 6 at home light showers across most of the area anded steadiest at the shore that continues tomorrow morning and you see the light grown, no pops of yellows or oranges, we wait until tomorrow evening at 6 00, especially south and east as bans of heavy rains move in from the coast and then saturday morning at 10 00 but the steadier heavier rain will have left by friday night. At the shore winds 45 to 50 Miles Per Hour, right into sunday. Waves 8 to 12 feet and damaging erosion is expected and every high tide, because of that persistent wind piling up the water and then Hurricane Joaquin wins sustained at 134 Miles Per Hour a category four, will weaken to a two and one to the east here into the early part of next week, but the cone of uncertainty is inland and it keeps tracking further and further east. And it comes up in the next 45 and 50 minutes that could be farther oosthuizen, we are starting to see the trend pushing it more out to sea. Winnie with showers at times saturday and sunday and the weekend is not looking look a washout, 60 to 65 degrees and well watch Hurricane Joaquin.
