Right now ill start with the satellite picture and the storm is a little weaker than it was when i first walked in this rning as a result of moving through two mountainous areas, haiti and eastern cuba. Winds dropped back to 115 miles an hour which, by the way, means its still a major hurricane. But now as itoves away from the coast of cuba, its beginning the process of wrapping tha convection around its center. I think this stormhens forward movement. Inf due north, now its moving northnorthwest which bnt baake it close to if nguchi the Florida East Coast by friday afternoon. This is going to be very, close. But then, this is new. If you havent been watching since last night, this is new now. The computer models want to loop this storm back around again. Conservatively the Hurricane Center has started that process with their fiveday cone. But you can see, and you saw at the beginning of the show, watch the computer models. There it is close to the coast. And then they loop it back around again. Obviously we could be deali withatthew sting off the southeast coast more than l the middle week.

So far the Hillsborough CountySheriffs Office has not released name of that man that was said to be in 30s. Its unclear exactly why he took off after that initial crash. But of course, well continue to follow this story and keep you posted as we gather any further details. Back to you. All right shayla, check in with you later on, thank you. And lot of ways it is like at that boomerang this move that matthew is doing. As moves past us and then possibly back again. Daves back in just few minutes track. Plus they are stocking up for storm.

William bell who has i Daytona Beach his entire life. Thanks for being with. No problem. First off how concerned or worried are you about this hurricane that is coming our way . I mean for it to grow to category 5 overnight, is concern throughout family. So we had a group me started about 12 00 a. M. This morning just to get everybody prepared and ready for whats about to happen. Thankfully it isnt a it lower than that before it reaches our area. When you see our neighbors and friends out here gathering sand bags what goes through your mind and your heart . Just a lot of families and concern with flooding i know heavy rains that are expected, and especially the low area of flding ma s safe and okay. I s ovee hping other peopleiland bags. Why . Why are you choosing to help Everyone Needs a helping handsometime. Lady i i was helng this is her again sand bag location is open 24 hours. You can see a lot of people are here getting sand bags ahead of the hurricane. Reporting in did i to in a beach, david news. All right daid, thank you. Lets get over to dave right now. I guess we got to talk about this thing a little bit more. Lets talk about matthew. Still major hurricane i do want to point that out. It has weakened overnight. But it was expected as went through not one but two areas with mountains. We had western haiti which had a 7,000 Foot Mountain top eastern cuba mountaintops as well storm emerges off northern coast of cuba now. Restrengthen. Theres no reason why it wouldnt. Puter mods are saying it. Urricane center is saying it. So dont be surprised to tune back in much later today and strong sto. The winds are sting a 5 miles per ur. Started to do, it was moving almost due north. Rtheits jogging a little bit knot, northwest. Has been ete wit it. T turnt you see the central, loo at this almost like getting its eye back thi so this storm is going to strengthen as it moves toward our coast. And then becomes parallel to our coast. But the question is, iit going to be 40 miles off ore. On shore and then move back on shore. Thats huge difference. Something we cant answer right now until this storm makes that turn. I can tell you that it the it ever so close to touching the coastline around the cape or just north of the cape. Those are the 2 00 a. M. Model runs. Im just letting you know that that is a possibility. So what happens from there . It turns from the north and then, and is the change. This is thing that is going to make it, i will pull my hair out. You know. Whats left of it. It makes a loop. The computer models make a loop with this storm. I will be a weaker one. Th longterm. So Hurricane Centers recognizing this seeing this, buying into this now with major models saying this. So this is way forecast track is set up. By the way, and i urge you to check into www. Myfoxhurricane. Com later today at 11 oclock. There will be new track forecast. And of course you can check back in with jim and fox 13 news at noon as well. Category 4. Yes restrengthening just off our the eye ohe eye wall of the storm right on shore. And thats the concern. Thats a big concern obviously. Goes to eastern earn side of cone alls good. Not much better. O western side ofhe co, wlouillhurran fince much further inland. Hurricane ceer, again model agreement that this storm tries to turn at least in they started that motion with their path. Clears out new england in northeast. So they are looking much better. Not having to deal with any impacts from the storm. So thats good news for them. Here are your watch and warning hurricane watch sebastian inland really jacksonville southward. From Sebastian Inlet a hurricane warning in our area. We have a Tropical Storm watch out for polk county and because even though Hurricane Force winds go out 40 miles, Tropical Storm force winds go out well over 100 miles away from the center of storm. Thats why theres that potential for 40 mile per hour wind with higher gusts. In polk county and in Highlands County the way it set up right now. You shift the storm 50 miles west you get my point tampa is looking a 30 to 33, 34 mile per hour windusts i storm force wind gusts our way. So evening though obviously the east coast is going to be impact theed most we still keep a real close eye on this on the west coast. Again, its hour by hour now that we watch the system set up. And any little wobble this storm makes is huge. Eventually path of it. 88 degrees for High Temperature today. Today were going to more northeasterly flow. Welget a couple of fast moving s move through the area. Around 40 percent. Worst the weather statewide is going to be on friday. From friday morning to friday late in the afternoon. As you go up towards jacksonville. Even if this does loop. I still think we will a nice weekend a drier weekend with highs in mid 80s and lows getting back down to a kind of comfy upper 60s to near 70 degrees vanessa. All right, thanks dave.

The center of Hurricane Matthew back out over water now. Its getting away from the islands nation of cuba. You can start to see that it wants to intensify again. Restrengthen and theres no reason why it wouldnt. Unfortunately, its still a major hurricane. With winds of 115 miles per hour. But, this has the potential to once again be a category 4 storm. As it approaches the east coast of our state. On friday. At 10. On this path you start to see this storm turn north just as it approaches our coast. I mean it may be it may touch our coastline. It may be a few miles off shore way too close for comfort. After it turns north. This is the odd thing computer models want to turn it back around again. Hurricane center recognizes that. And in their fiveday cone were taking it out through monday. This still might be a minimal hurricane southeast of come next monday. Theres a lot of different moving parts with this.
