ALL
ALL RIGHT
ALL RIGHT >> WE'RE STARTING OFF WITH A
LIVE LOOK AT THE SURF LINE
CAMERA. THAT'S AT LAKE WORTH
PIER IN FLORIDA. YOU CAN SEE
THERE THE WAVES THERE CHURNING
THE RAIN IS COMING DOWN AS
DORIAN INCHES TOWARDS
THE COAST. THANK YOU FOR
JOINING US FOR 30 NEWS NOW AT
NOON. I'M ASHLEY SMITH. I'M
>> DAVID KENNEDY LET'S GET
STRAIGHT OVER TO METEOROLOGIST
TIM PANDAJIS KEEPING AN EYE ON
THE STORM RIGHT. AND WE'RE
WATCHING A WEAKENING DORIAN
OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF HOURS
GUYS NO LONGER
>> CONSIDERED A MAJOR
HURRICANE. IT'S DOWN TO A
CATEGORY 2 BUT YOU SEE IT JUST
KIND OF STALKING THE EAST COAST
>> OF FLORIDA THEY'RE NOT
EXPECTED TO MAKE AN IMPACT
THERE DIRECTLY IT'S GOING TO BE
MOVING DUE NORTH. IT'S ALREADY
BEGUN ON THAT TRACK NORTHWARDS
ALTHOUGH VERY VERY SLOWLY
MOVING OUT OF GRAND BAHAMA.
IT'S STARTING TO INGEST A
LITTLE BIT OF SOME DRY AIR AND
THAT HAS CONTRIBUTED TO
THE OVERALL WEAKENING AS WELL
AS SOMETHING CALLED UPWELLING
SOME COOLER OCEAN WATERS HAVE
KIND OF STUNTED ITS GROWTH AND
ACTUALLY WEAKENED BUT AS IT
HEADS UP THE SOUTHEAST
COASTLINE THERE ARE SOME WARMER
WATERS THERE SO IT WOULDN'T BE
OUT OF THE REALM OF POSSIBILITY
TO SEE IT KIND OF RESTRENGTHEN
AT LEAST JUST A LITTLE BIT. WE
HAVE HURRICANE WATCHES NOW UP
AND EVERYWHERE AND RED THAT'S
DUCK NORTH CAROLINA AND POINTS
SOUTH THROUGH THE OUTER BANKS.
WE'LL LIKELY SEE THOSE EXPAND A
LITTLE BIT FARTHER NORTH AS WE
HEAD THROUGH THE NEXT 12 TO 24
HOURS. 110 MILE PER HOUR WINDS
HIGH IN CATEGORY 2 A CAT 3 111
OR HIGHER. IT IS MOVING DUE
NORTH PRETTY MUCH AND THEN IT'S
GOING TO PRETTY MUCH STRADDLE
THE GEOGRAPHY OF THE SOUTHEAST
COASTLINE BEFORE ITS CLOSEST
APPROACH YET NEAR WILMINGTON
THE SOUTHERN PART OF THE OUTER
BANKS AS WE GET INTO LATE
THURSDAY AND EARLY FRIDAY AND
FOR PICKS UP ITS FORWARD SPEED
AND MOVES OUT INTO THE OPEN
ATLANTIC OF COURSE WE ARE IN
THAT CONE OF UNCERTAINTY? 100
MILE PER HOUR WINDS A WIDER
WIND FIELD. SO EVEN IF IT
TRACKS ANYWHERE WITHIN THAT
WE'RE GOING TO SEE THOSE STRONG
WINDS ACROSS OUR AREA ON TOP OF
THAT SOME HEAVY RAINFALL TOTALS
TOO. WE'RE GOING OFF
THE EUROPEAN MODEL HERE IN
TERMS OF THE WIND POTENTIAL
SOME OF THOSE WIND GUSTS BEGIN
ON UNTIL LATE FRIDAY AND LATE
FRIDAY AFTERNOON. I SHOULD SAY
40 50 MILE PER HOUR WINDS I
THINK THESE ARE ON THE LOWER
AND WE'LL LIKELY SEE THEM A
LITTLE BIT HIGHER. WE'RE GOING
TO TALK MORE ABOUT THE RAINFALL
TOTALS YOU CAN EXPECT IN TIME
IN OUR FUTURE CAST OVERALL IN
JUST A FEW MINUTES GUYS.
>> OK. TIM THANK YOU FOR THAT.
WELL RIGHT NOW MANDATORY
EVACUATION ORDERS AND DARE

US BACK IN. I HOPE IT GOES OUT
OUT IN THE OCEAN AND DOESN'T
STAY HERE. OFFICIALS SAY THEY
