BEACH.
BEACH. WE
BEACH. WE START WITH 0 HOWEVER WITH YOUR CERTIFIED MOST ACCURATE FORECAST WITH
METEOROLOGIST IVAN STUART AND
GEOFF LAWSON AND WE'VE GOT A
FEW CHANGES TO TALK ABOUT NOT
SO MUCH IN TERMS OF WHAT WE ARE
EXPECTING HERE BUT THE STORM
HAS MADE A FEW CHANGES SO WE'RE
GOING UP OUR SPEEDS ABOUT 5
MILES PER HOUR STILL SIMILAR TO
WHAT WE WERE TALKING ABOUT IN
TERMS OF THE TYPES OF DAMAGE
AND TYPES OF EFFECTS WE WILL
HAVE. BUT LET'S START OUT WITH
THE STORM YOU COULD SEE. WE HAD
SOME RAIN OVER US BUT IT'S NOT
ASSOCIATED WITH THE STORM RIGHT
NOW. THE STORM ITSELF, THE VERY
MOST NORTHERN BAND IS WORKING
UP HERE AGAIN EASTERN NORTH
CAROLINA, EAST OF ROCKY MOUNT.
AND HERE'S THE CENTER ACTUALLY
.RIGHT. ACTUALLY, LET'S STOP
IT. THIS CENTER IS RIGHT IN
THERE MOSTLY ONSHORE AT THIS
POINT. THE WESTERN EDGE HIT
MYRTLE BEACH AND THEN
EVENTUALLY THE ENTIRE CENTER
CAME ONSHORE HERE PRETTY CLOSE
TO A GET WELL ACTUALLY HERE
WEST OF WILMINGTON. SO THAT WAS
WHERE IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE AND
IS GOING. THE INTERESTING THING
WE'VE BEEN PLOTTING THE ON
THIS SHOW YOU CURRENT OFFICIAL
STRENGTH WHICH IS 85 MILES PER
HOUR. BUT EVAN AND I HAVE BEEN
WATCHING ALL THESE THAT HAVE
BEEN RIGHT IN THE EYE. THE
HIGHEST THEY'VE SHOWN WAS
ALMOST 70 MILES PER HOUR. SO
THEY DID GET AN 85 I ESTIMATE
AT THE SURFACE. WE'LL TALK MORE
ABOUT THAT IN A MINUTE. BUT I
WANT TO SHOW YOU THAT BECAUSE
IT JUST GIVES YOU AN IDEA THAT
EVEN IF THERE IS AN 85 IT'S NOT
THE ENTIRE EYE. IN FACT, THAT'S
NOT EVEN MOST OF THE MIGHT BE 1
OR 2 LITTLE SPOTS. SO DON'T
EXPECT YOU KNOW, THAT KIND OF A
WINFIELD TO COME ONSHORE
EVERYWHERE BECAUSE WE'RE JUST
NOT SEEING AND IN FACT HERE ON
SATELLITE IT LOOKS VERY
DISORGANIZED WITH DRY AIR
STARTING TO MOVE IN. SO I'M A
LITTLE BIT SURPRISE THAT THEY
DID UP IT TO THAT 85 MILE PER
HOUR SPEED BECAUSE THIS IS AN
ESTIMATE BASED OFF WHAT THEY
FOUND ALOFT AND THEY FOUND 1
HUNDRED AND THIRTY 5 MILES PER
HOUR ALOFT. THEN THEY ACTUALLY
LET'S GO BACK TO THAT QUICKLY.
HERE WE GO. THEY FOUND 1
HUNDRED AND THIRTY 5 MILES PER
HOUR ALOFT AND THEN THEY USE
TRANSITION AND SORT OF A
MULTIPLIER TO GET THE WIND
SPEED DOWN AT THE SURFACE. SO
EIGHTY 5 MAYBE. BUT THE BOTTOM
LINE IS STILL THE SAME EFFECTS
EXPECTED HERE RIGHT NOW. EIGHTY
5 GUSTING TO 1 0 5 WINDS RIGHT
NOW AGAIN STRONGLY CIRCLING
AROUND IT. BUT THE STORM ITSELF
IS MOVING NORTH NORTHEASTERLY
AT 20 2 MILES PER HOUR PRESSURE
AT 988. IT WAS AT 9 NINETY THEN
IT WAS DOWN TO 9 EIGHTY 4. NOW
IT'S BACK UP TO 1988. SO IT
WILL CONTINUE TO WEAKEN PRETTY
CONSISTENTLY AS IT WORKS. WEIGH
IN AS A STRONG TROPICAL STORM
ACROSS OUR AREA AND THEN MOVES
OFF TO THE NORTHEAST. THE
TIMING STILL THE SAME. I BUMPED
THESE NUMBERS UP 5 MILES PER
HOUR. SO NOW MOST OF THE AREA
IS TO SEE 40 TO 60 SUSTAINED
INSTEAD OF 35 TO 55 AND GUSTS
OVER 70. WE WERE SAYING EARLIER
WE THOUGHT 65 PLUS TO 70 ISH.
NOW WE'LL SAY 70 TO MAYBE EVEN
75 POTENTIALLY SOME GUSTS.
RAINFALL 1 TO 3 INCHES. SEVERAL
TORNADOES THOUGH AND A STORM
SURGE OF 1 FOOT FOR MOST OF US
BUT 2 TO 3 FEET ESPECIALLY
MAYBE EVEN A LITTLE MORE 3
BEFORE POTENTIALLY IN SOME
OF THE SOUTHERN AREAS AS YOU
BRING THAT SUDDENLY WIND UP
INTO THE ALBUM MONROE SOUND.
EVANS GOT A LITTLE BIT MORE NOW
ON THE TIMING. THAT'S RIGHT,
JEFF. WE'LL TALK ABOUT THE
TIMING OF THE SYSTEM AGAIN.
HERE'S ANOTHER LOOK AT THE
SATELLITE VIEW AND AGAIN SOME
OF THAT DRY AIR BEING PULLED IN
TO THE CENTER AS IT'S MAKING
LANDFALL JUST ACROSS THE NORTH
CAROLINA COASTLINE. AGAIN A
CATEGORY 1 STORM. HERE'S THE
LATEST ONCE AGAIN RIGHT NOW
LOCATED 50 MILES SOUTHWEST
OF WILMINGTON, NORTH CAROLINA,
25 MILES EAST NORTHEAST THERE
OF MYRTLE BEACH, SOUTH
CAROLINA. AND AS YOU MENTIONED,
JEFF, IT IS STARTING TO
ACCELERATE QUICKER OFF TOWARDS
THE NORTH NORTHEAST NOW AT 22
MILES PER HOUR. EARLIER WAS
ABOUT 18 MILES PER HOUR. SO
AGAIN THAT TRACK 8:00 A.M. 70
MILE PER HOUR WINDS AS THE
STORM IS MOVING THROUGH HAMPTON
ROADS AND THEN RAPIDLY
ACCELERATING OFF TOWARDS THE
NORTHEAST. SO LET'S TALK ABOUT
THAT TIMING OVERNIGHT. WE'LL
SEE THOSE WINDS REALLY STARTING
TO PICK UP AND BY TOMORROW
MORNING THOSE WIND GUST NEAR 70
MILES PER HOUR, MAYBE EVEN 75
ESPECIALLY OFF THE COAST. HEAVY
RAIN FLOODING NEAR THE SOUNDS
AND ISOLATED TORNADOES
POSSIBLE. THE TIMING REALLY
BETWEEN 4:00 A.M. AND ABOUT
MIDDAY. THAT'S WHEN I THINK
WE'LL SEE SOME OF THE STRONGEST
OF THE WINDS WORKING THEIR WAY
FROM SOUTH TO NORTH AS WE GET
INTO TOMORROW MIDDAY STILL VERY
WINDY WITH GUSTS OVER 60 MILES
PER HOUR IN SOME SPOTS A LITTLE
BIT STRONGER UP ALONG THE
EASTERN SHORE. THE RAIN WILL
START TO TAPER OFF FROM SOUTH
THE NORTH. AND THAT FLOODING
WILL WORK ITS WAY OFF THE
CHESAPEAKE BAY. SO BY TOMORROW
AFTERNOON THOSE WINDS WILL
START TO DIE DOWN. A FEW
LEFTOVER SHOWERS WILL BE
POSSIBLE AND SOME FLOODING WELL
OFF TOWARDS THE NORTH. AND THEN
SOME PARTLY CLOUDY SKIES
TUESDAY NIGHT AND BY WEDNESDAY
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT JUST A
TYPICAL EARLY AUGUST DAY HERE
IN HAMPTON ROADS. EVAN AND
JEFF, THANK YOU. BE SURE TO USE
