HURRICANE
HURRICANE DORIAN IS MOVING FURTHER UP NORTH AND SOUTH CAROLINA COAST RIGHT NOW AND AS
IT GETS CLOSER TO HAMPTON ROADS
PEOPLE ARE BRACING FOR STRONG
WINDS RAIN AND FLOODING. SCHOOL
ACROSS OUR AREA
>> HAVE ALREADY ANNOUNCED NO
CLASSES TOMORROW. GOOD
AFTERNOON EVERYONE. STARTING
NEWS NOW AT NOON I'M DAVID
KENNEDY AND I'M ASHLEY SMITH.
LET'S HEAD RIGHT OVER TO
METEOROLOGIST TIM PANDAJIS AND
RACHELLE PIERCE. THEY'RE BOTH
HERE NOW WITH THE LATEST UP
THE UPDATE I SHOULD SAY ON
HURRICANE DORIAN. WE'RE
STARTING WITH MICHELLE. YEAH.
WE'RE GOING TO TAKE
>> A LOOK AT THE WATCHES WE'RE
ACTUALLY NO WATCHES ANYMORE.
EVERYONE IS UNDER SOME FORM OF
WARNING WHETHER IT'S A TROPICAL
STORM WARNING OR A HURRICANE
WARNING THAT HURRICANE WARNING
IN THE PURPLE AND THIS ORANGE
COLOR INDICATING A TROPICAL
STORM WARNING AND THAT'S FOR
ALL THE SOUTH SIDE HAMPTON ROSE
THE PENINSULAS AND THE EASTERN
SHORE AS WE'RE WATCHING OUR
NORTH CAROLINA COUNTIES FOR
THAT HURRICANE WARNING ALSO
HAVE FLASH FLOOD WATCH IN
EFFECT THAT WILL START AT 8:00
P.M. TONIGHT GO THROUGH
TOMORROW EVENING THAT'S WHERE
MOST OF THE AREA AND THEN STORM
SURGE ALSO GOING TO BE A BIG
ISSUE ACROSS SOUTH SIDE. AND
FOR OUR NEIGHBORS DOWN INTO
NORTHEASTERN NORTH CAROLINA AND
EVEN FARTHER SOUTH THAN THAT.
SO TALKING ABOUT STORM SURGE
THIS IS WHAT WE'RE EXPECTING AT
THIS POINT 2 TO 4 FEET OF STORM
SURGE UP FROM THE ALBEMARLE
SOUND TO AREAS NORTH AND
FARTHER DOWN TOWARD THE SOUTH
AS WE HEAD TOWARD HATTERAS AN
AREA SOUTH OF THAT 4 TO 6 FEET
OF STORM SURGE. SO AGAIN THAT'S
WHAT WE'RE EXPECTING RIGHT NOW
GOING TO SEND IT OVER TO TIM
FOR WHAT'S GOING ON NOW AND
WHAT WE CAN EXPECT OVER
THE NEXT DAY OR SO. HEY
ROCHELLE
>> WE'VE GOT THE 11:00
ADVISORY THAT DID DOWNGRADE
THE STORM ONCE AGAIN TO A
CATEGORY 2. NOW THINK OF THIS
WHERE WE'RE SPLITTING HAIRS
HERE WE DROPPED IT. SUSTAINED
WINDS BY 5:00. IN FACT THE 12
O'CLOCK WE'RE RIGHT BACK UP TO
CATEGORY
>> 3 STORM NOW ACTUALLY 115
MILE PER HOUR WINDS THERE WITH
GUSTS UP TO WATCH AND 30 AT
THE 11:00. THEY ACTUALLY PUT IT
BACK DOWN TO A CATEGORY 2
SYSTEM AS STRENGTHENING THEY'RE
MOVING OFF TO THE NORTHEAST.
THEY'RE RIGHT ALONG THE COAST
OF SOUTH CAROLINA. LOOKING AT
RADAR HERE YOU CAN SEE THAT
EYE. HEAVY SQUALLS MOVING
INLAND OVER CHARLESTON AND
THROWING A LOT OF WINDS ONSHORE
AS YOU GET TOWARDS THE NORTH
CAROLINA LINE AND EVEN NORTH OF
THERE WE HAVE TORNADO WATCH
BOXES UP BECAUSE THERE'S
ALREADY THAT SPIN IN
THE ATMOSPHERE AND WE'VE SEEN
NUMEROUS TORNADO WARNINGS
ALREADY THROUGH THE WILMINGTON
AREA
>> EARLIER THIS MORNING.
HERE'S THE LATEST TRACK ON IT
FROM THE NATIONAL HURRICANE
CENTER TAKES IT PRETTY MUCH
RIGHT OVER CAPE LOOKOUT AND
THEN CAPE HATTERAS AS WE GET
INTO LATE TONIGHT AND EARLY
TOMORROW MORNING STILL AT THAT
POINT A CATEGORY 2 STORM WITH
WINDS OF 100 MILES PER HOUR.
BUT THAT WIND FIELD IS QUITE
LARGE AT THAT POINT PICKS UP
FORWARD SPEED AND ZIPS OUT OF
HERE RATHER QUICKLY. HERE'S HOW
IT LOOKS ON FUTURE CAST A LOT
OF CLOUDS OUT THERE TODAY. FEW
ISOLATED SHOWERS SO WE GET TO
LATE THIS EVENING. BUT REALLY
STARTING TO BUILD THE RAIN IN
HERE OVERNIGHT TONIGHT WITH
THE HEAVIEST OF IT AGAIN
FARTHER SOUTH AND EAST SHARP
CUT FROM LIKE WILLIAMSBURG
TOWARDS RICHMOND MIGHT NOT SEE
MUCH AT ALL BUT THE STRONGEST
WINDS OVERNIGHT TONIGHT IN
THROUGH THE DAY ON FRIDAY. HERE
WE ARE AT 445. THE STORM IS
STILL JUST OFF TO OUR SOUTH AND
SOUTHEAST AS IT PULLS AWAY.
THOSE WINDS WILL START TO RELAX
JUST A LITTLE BIT. SO DORIAN'S
THREATS ARE NOT UNIFORM ACROSS
OUR ENTIRE AREA IN VIRGINIA
WE'RE LOOKING AT WIND BUT NOT
AS STRONG AS WHAT YOU'LL FIND
IN NORTH CAROLINA. HIGH TITLES
FLOODING AND SURGE VALUES AS A
LOT OF RAIN TO LOW RISK FOR A
TORNADO. HOWEVER IN NORTH
CAROLINA A LOT MORE RAIN TIDAL
AND SURGE FLOODING ALSO A
BIGGER ISSUE THERE AND
STRONGEST OF THE WINDS AND EVEN
THAT TORNADO THREAT IS THERE AS
WELL AS WE LOOK AT THE STORM
PREDICTION CENTER PUT THAT AREA
DOWN TO THE SOUTH UNDER A LEVEL
3 ENHANCED RISK FOR THOSE
TORNADOES THAT'S BEEN UP A LOT
EASIER IN THIS TYPE OF SETUP
FOR LATER TODAY AS DORIAN
BUILDS NORTHWARDS. WE'LL TALK
MORE ABOUT HOW THINGS LOOK ONCE
DORIAN EXITS AND WE'LL BREAK
DOWN THE WIND RAIN AND TIDAL
VALUES AS WE GET INTO TONIGHT
AND TOMORROW. IN JUST A FEW
MINUTES. OK
