THE CATEGORY 5 STORM. >> WE’RE WAITING TO HEAR. RIGHT NOW WE WANT TO TURN THINGS
OVER TO OUR WEATHER AUTHORITY
TEAM.
>> BETTY DAVIS AND BRYAN
NORCROSS ARE BOTH HERE FOR YOU.
>> JUST ONE CHANGE WE’RE NOTING.
THE PRESSURE ON DORIANE HAS COME
UP JUST A LITTLE BIT.
BUT THOSE WINDS ARE STILL
BLOWING STRONG.
185 MILES PER HOUR AS THE SYSTEM
CREEPS ALONG HEAD IS WEST AT
5 MILES PER HOUR.
ADVANCING TOWARD OTHER AREAS OF
THE NORTHWEST BAHAMAS.
WE’RE TALKING ABOUT THE GRAND
BAHAMA ISLAND.
LET’S CHECK OUT WHAT IS GOING ON
LOCALLY.
WE’RE UNDER A TROPICAL STORM
WATCH IN BROWARD COUNTY.
WE’RE OUT OF THE CONE AND I’LL
TALK ABOUT THAT MORE IN A FEW
MINUTES.
BRYAN, IT’S BEEN IN RADAR RANGE
ALL DAY.
>> YES.
AND WE HAVE A GOOD VIEW OF HOW
IT’S BEEN TRACKING.
IT CAME OVER GREAT ABCO.
I WANT TO DRAW YOUR ATTENTION --
IT’S GOING TO HAVE STRONGER
GUST.
TOMORROW WE’LL START SEEING MORE
OF THE BANDS COMING OVER THE
METHODOLOGY AREA.
THIS IS JUST NIGHTTIME AND
PROPAGATION.
JUST FALLS -- FALSE ECHOES OVER
THE CITY SO BEAR THAT IN MIND.
IT IS ON A BEE LINE.
LIKE IT’S GOING TO THREAD GRAND
BAHAMA RIGHT THROUGH THE EYE OF
THE EASTERN END.
THEY ARE GETTING POUNDED RIGHT
NOW.
YOU FEAR FOR WHAT IS GOING ON.
NOW I’M SHOWING YOU THIS.
A COME IS IT FROM BOHEMIAN
RADAR.
THIS ALLOWS YOU TO SEE HOW FAR
BACK THE RADAR GOES.
IN MARSH HARBOR THEY ARE GETTING
A VERY STRONG OUTER BAND AND
THEN THEY HAVE MORE TO GO.
IT SHOULD START GETTING BETTER
SOON BUT THEY’VE BEEN IN IT ALL
DAY AND THIS MAY BE WHY WE DON’T
HAVE ANY COMMUNICATIONS WITH
MARSH HARBOR.
HERE IS THE SATELLITE.
HERE IT COMES AS I SAID RIGHT UP
GRAND BAHAMA ISLAND.
AS FAR AS WE’RE CONCERNED THE
QUESTION IS HOW CLOSE ARE THESE
OUTER BANDS GOING TO GET US TO
AND THAT YELLOW IS THE EDGE.
THAT IS THE TROPICAL STORM AREA.
THE HURRICANE FORCE GUSTS AND
THE HURRICANE WINDS ARE IN THE
CENTER.
TOMORROW AFTERNOON THERE IS
BROWARD RIGHT THERE.
AND YOU SEE IT’S APPROACHING
ESPECIALLY THE NORTHERN PART OF
BROWARD AND IN PALM BEACH COUNTY
THE TROPICAL STORM FORCE WINDS
ARE -- OVER ACCORDING TO THE
FORECAST.
WE’RE WATCHING OUT.
WE HAVE THE POSSIBLE TROP --
TROPICAL STORM-FORCE WINDS.
IT’S STILL IN THE AREA.
JUST OFFSHORE ACCORDING TO THE
FORECAST SO WE’RE READY FOR THE
POSSIBILITY OF IT BEING A LITTLE
THIS WAY AND THROUGH THE DAY ON
TUESDAY IT LIFTS OUT AND FINALLY
WE WILL BE DONE WITH DORIANE BUT
NOT THE REST OF FLORIDA.
>> THAT’S RIGHT.
WE’RE UNDER THE TROPICAL STORM
WATCH IN BROWARD COUNTY BECAUSE
DORIAN IS GOING TO BE SO CLOSE
AND MAY BE CLOSE ENOUGH TO OFFER
UPWINDS OF 140 MILES PER HOUR OR
GREATER.
I’M EXPECTING THE WINDS TO RAMP
UP AS WE MOVE FROM LATE MONDAY
INTO EARLY TUESDAY.
THE BREEZE WILL START TO BUILD
AND MONDAY NIGHT OVERNIGHT YOU
SEE THE LINE GOING UP ON THE
GRAPH.
THAT IS WHEN THE WINDS START TO
PEAK AND GENERALLY WE’LL HAVE
WEST NORTHWESTERLY FLOW.
THE BREAKDOWN ON THE WINDS.
MIAMI-DADE WINDS’ 20-30 MILES
PER HOUR.
MONDAY MORNING THROUGH WEDNESDAY
MORNING WINDS OF 25-35 WITH THE
TROPICAL STORM-FORCE BEING
POSSIBLE.
SO, THAT IS HOW THINGS GO AS FAR
AS THE WINDS ARE AND THEN UP TO
