multiple hazards, storm surge, wind stretching to the coastal carolinas during the next 24 to 36 hours. >> janice: janice dean here. thank you for your wonderful work, first of all, hats off to you at national hurricane center. you are our beacon and you did so well with the forecasting of this storm. it was very accurate from the get go, it was a tropical starm and hurricane and intensity forecast was right on. what do you attribute this to? >> we have a lot of great experience here and had a lot of storms so we know what to look for in terms of the environment. great modeling capabilities we've impelemented are tools to make the forecast for the track and intensity. that is information we need to
earthquakes and fires and all that, and things you can't predict. an earthquake just shows up. people know what is going on. it was education for theest are of the country, the value of prognosticators and humanity and state leadership. one thing about policy and you can have fights and want to change things, this is when it matters, kemp, desantis, that is when your governor matters. >> janice: i agree, all of us need to come together. after a storm, you see the best in humanity. nobody asks who you voted for when your neighbor's house is taken over by water. really good moment and just trying to convey the message. we are deliverers of the
hurricane was back in 1896, cedar keys hurricane, it was called and produced high storm surge about the same intensity of this storm. this is very unusual. >> janice: we had a great conversation on my podcast, that will air on sunday, so grateful for your time and knowledge about hurricanes. compare this one to ian last year. >> number of i think thises are different, it wasn't as strong as ian and ian in terms of intensification and weakening, similar. ian weakened just before coming ashore. when we get final analysis, we will find the right side, hurricane is moving to the right
the headline out of governor desantis, touching on it there, no confirmed fatalities at this point in the aftermath of the storm. it just left the state of florida and moved into georgia and will head toward south carolina, as well. there have been unconfirmed reports of traffic fatalities. all eight search and rescue teams in orlando have been deployed. tampa airport will reopen for arriving flights and reopening of the airport will begin tomorrow morning. we will discuss what we heard and might see in the next day or two. janice. >> janice: i hate the term dodge a bullet, if we have a storm hitting georgia and carolinas, we can't get out there.
get out to people. >> janice: storm surge was the main message with this, 15 to scene foot storm surge along big bend, neveroccurred in our records. looking ahead, people think, it is category 1, no big deal. we have emergency flooding in georgia. >> that is right, rainfall flooding will be substantial, it is big risk. expecting widespread totals of four to eight inches and we have significant risk of flash flooding from wili think mton, statesboro, to north florida with 4 to 8 inches and some higher than that. if it falls in a short period of time, significant flash flood risk. this is a killer, more people died from rainfall flooding than any other hazard in the united states. >> janice: glad you brought that up and thank you so much.
will come from. zero to 4 in 21 hours, wow. >> janice: rapid intensification and a lot of reasons why it exploded so quickly. national hurricane center did a good job in measuring that, that is one thing that is hardest in forecasting to do intensity forecasting. they knew we were going to have rapid intensification from 1 to 3, borderline 4 before making landfall and part of the reason is warm temperatures of gulf of mexico. normally warm, that is high octane fuel for the storms. we knew if an area of low pressure got into the gulf of mexico, it could explode and the main reason is it didn't have a lot of wind sheer, strong winds, the water temperature and how
damage. >> todd: we are uch waing "fox and friends first" on tuesday morning, i'm todd piro. >> ashley: i'm ashley strohmier in for carley shimkus. governor ron desantis is warning residents to be alert and prepared for the worse. assume there will be noticeable impact that could become catastrophic. this storm is storm most people thought would end a tropical storm or maybe a category 1, almost every time they have updated this, they said it will get stronger. buckle up for this one, it will be a major hurricane. >> ashley: senior fox meteorologist janice dean is tracking this storm this morning. >> janice: we have a hurricane and expect this storm to intensify to major hurricane category 3 or 4. take a look at it. 5 a.m., 75 mile per hour
area. we will continue to monitor it and wring you the very latest. fox weather.com is streaming live the next couple of days. we're are going to be talking about this through the day and workweek and through the weekend as it stalls off the coast of the carolinas. stay tuned bottom line. >> brian: this just the beginning. >> janice: peak of hurricane season. >> steve: started in may. >> janice: this is when we see the worst of the storms. >> ainsley: going into labor day weekend. a lot of people had travel plans, buy trip insurance if you are planning a trip around this time next year. >> ainsley: ains. >> janice: absolutely. keep you posted. >> steve: florida governor ron desantis coming up at 8:00 a.m. he is had a live briefing for the world yesterday 6:00 hour during the bret baier show. i would imagine he is going to give us a preview of what florida is thinking coming up one hour from now. in the meantime, speaking of politics, new polling reveals a dip in support for former president donald trump following his decision to skip last week's

deadly if you're in the stowrng area. time is now to pack up and leave if you are. guys, back to you. >> steve: robert, the x fax factor this time is that the water in the gulf is at record high temperatures. >> oh, yeah look at the gulf of mexico. surface temperatures in the high 80's. potentially even 90. for a hurricane to rapidly intensify, which is what is expected right now, you need three things, that is high surface water temp. high humidity and a lack of shear. the shear is what drops down and kicks that storm around and breaks it up. we don't expect that unfortunately. and after it heads into florida, guys, up into georgia and the carolinas. this is going to be going on for days. >> steve: here it comes. robert, thank you very much. >> ainsley: janice is over there. she is tracking the tropical st. we were talking. you said it's a cat 1 now definitely going to get much
