mexico we're seeing battering winds and a heavy surf here and already mud slides. there's still a potential though even though it's been downgraded. when it made landfall it was an equivalent of a category two hurricane. it's just below that hurricane intensity but going to wring out across the south central portions of of mexico. right over here that's about an 8-hour drive. even though the remnants are going to move across this region the national hurricane center says there's a pretty good chance over the next five days this may actually develop into something more substantial. and the computer models are suggesting this remnant area of low pressure could be a tropical development. has about a 50% likelihood. this made landfall, agatha about

jacksonville. we'll start to see the tornadoes throughout the day and they could cause structural damage. let's look at the wind fields. the tropical storm force winds extend 200 miles from the center of the storm. this storm is about 400 miles wide and the hurricane-force winds extend 60 to 65 miles from the center of the storm. the hurricane-force gusts. we think the closest approach to a landfall, remember landfall is the center coming onshore and the lowest pressure point. just a statistical matter. we like to look at the potential for landfall. the last time we had the cat 3 make landfall in north carolina was 1996. that was fran. it hasn't happened in a very long time. we do think the storm is going to weaken a little bit still bringing the same effects regardless if it's a 2 or 3. it doesn't matter. same effects. 5 to 8 foot storm surge. over a foot of rainfall possible and the battering winds and waves and beach erosion. so just a quick look here.
thursday into friday. somewhere along the south carolina-north carolina coast line. can you see the advisories hurricane warnings in effect for north florida up towards the south carolina coast line all up and down the south carolina coast line we have hurricane warnings in effect. and then watches up towards the outer banks. here is the latest track, 105 mile-per-hour sustained winds. as i mentioned as we get into thursday and friday, the closest brush or landfall across portions of the carolinas and then this is still friday finally into the weekend it will be offshore. but the impacts will remain the same, the storm surge which could be potentially life threatening, rain amounts 6 to 12 inches of rainfall and then those battering winds, some cases hurricane force winds along the coast of south carolina and north carolina on thursday and friday. steve: the cyclone nic swirl of the storm is just pushing the water towards georgia and north carolina.
carolina coast. and then it skirts off to the north and east by saturday. so still many days to come with this storm. i talked about the hurricane watches and warnings. we have them in place of course for the bahama islands and here is the east coast now included. you want to keep this in mind. the tropical storm watch is from golden beach to the north. you have hurricane warnings because we could feel those winds and those are destructive winds. we'll have beach erosions, very high waves, so of course you do not want to be in the water. then we'll have that push of water as well. talking about dorian's impacts, catastrophic winds, we saw them yesterday so devastating and so sad to see all the videos. you can bet we'll see more today and it is going to take a long time before we go back in and see what really happened there and also to aid them in recovering. now for hurricane gusts across the southeast we could see that possibly where you see this pink here, the highest probability of that happening. so north of miami, melbourne, jacksonville could see it, charleston. it goes all the way up through
