Predicting dorian's path we've heard of the bermuda high being a factor but that's just one to me what are these variables that are making it so hard to predict. yes of the remuda high is off the east right now and it's been sitting there and the question for a while was how close would that come to the coast that effects the steering currents that dorian will be susceptible to so there's that over the ohio valley there's a trough kind of a big area of low pressure and that screw story up the closest and look to be kind of a squeeze play as to where dorian would ultimately go which system woul...

There has never been a country that has accumulated more power to advance the human condition, and every time, the united states steps up. just so everybody knows, i mean you were a storm chaser. you know the history of hurricanes.you know the tracks e hurricanes. let's start with the bahamas and what we are seeing here. this thing, i'm watching and watching. it's hovering like a helicopter. almost 200 mile-per-hour sustained winds. why? why so slow moving? >> joe: well, because the steering currents fall apart.peg as they look, they're just corks in the atmosphere. it's nature's way of taking...

Will remain that way. but notice the cone of uncertainty has now left the coast of florida. it is slightly off. that means with this cone of uncertainty, that that eye could be anywhere within that cone. but this is the first time in a long, long time that it has left the florida coastline, and it is staying away from georgia. however, that cone of uncertainty continues to slide to south carolina and north carolina. that doesn't mean we won't have our problems with storm surge, batting rainfall. we're going to have sea waves moving in and causing that coastal erosion. we most likely could have...

The grand bahama islands. the one moving slower was 1965. it was betsy. it moved 12 miles in 30 hours, but that was over land, excuse me, over water. if we look at the history of this, jake, all these storms want do is transfer their heat from near the equator to the colder waters and the colder air at north. that's it. they want to take the path of least resistance. what we have going on is a strong area of high pressure that has been up to the north of us and it's been shifting this. in fact, a week ago we thought it was going to make a rare perpendicular landfall in south central florida an...

Why is this hurricane still on top of us? they usually come and go within 24 hours. i've never seen anything like this. the steering currents are to blame. they got together. we have a big ridge of high pressure, bermuda high that basically pushed this almost into florida. we have another high to the north and west. it stalled out. finally that is the one that will be pulling the hurricane up to the north away from grand bahama. say in about six to eight hours. six to eight hours more of this, 120-mile-an-hour winds. a category 3. it has weakened some. it looks like it's begun to move to the n...
