bahamas and the u.s. coast for the next couple of daitz. winds -- days. winds 105 miles per hour sustained with gusts to 125 moving north at 16. we'll continue to watch this. again cut across the bahamas just on the east side which if there's any positive news, the west side of the storm is the weaker side of the storm. the winds are coming in parallel or with the storm itself with the forward motion so they tend to be a little stronger on the right side of the storm. this will slowly weaken to a category 1 storm and turn away from florida, parallel the south and north care coasts. here we are sunday morning, still a hurricane, 75 mile an hour sustained winds. cape hatteras far enough off shore that it shouldn't be too bad but wind and rain and heavy surf pounding the carolina coast. then the mid-atlantic. this is the concern. this thing is going to take a turn back towards the west. but is it going to take that turn down here? is it going to wait till it gets to massachusetts or maybe maine? right now be

the track still takes it across cuba into the bahamas as a category one -- and back to the southeast. that's a good thing. it will parallel the coast, the bad thing it turns back to the north and west, and that means it could affect the immediate metro area, not so much over the weekend but maybe monday, maybe tuesday, maybe halloween. okay i move to the web center. what you need to do if you haven't already down load the weather app. it is cool do go to the app store and search for wusa radar and track this right along with us. there's the track. if you touch a dot, the information will come up. to do that hit the information button, make sure your tropical track are on right there and you are all set. you can track it right along with us all weekend and into next week. we will be back and talk about where that storm might go monday or tuesday. >> all right. thank you. >>> day three of our battleground virginia tour has brought our crew to the southwest part of the common wealth. there's a new poll out that shows the race is tight but governor romney is taking a slight lead, 50% to 4

it is in the northern bahamas. the coldest cloud tops, the brighter ones you see are north of the center of circulation. there's upper level winds that are trying to rip it apart a little bit. this thing is still maintaining a low level circulation and even though it may weaken a little bit as it moves north, it's likely going to intensify as it gets up toward the carolinas. here's the forecast track. latest advisory. winds at 830 gusting to -- at 80 gusting to 100. pressure has come up a little bit. watch that number over the weekend. it will go up and probably down again as it gets farther north. will maintain a category 1 hurricane. tropical storm watches were raised for the north and south carolina coasts. then here comes the problem us for. as we get toward monday morning, look at turn back toward the north, northwest. then it looks like it will turn more northwesterly and make a landfall potentially near the delaware bay but the cone goes down toward elizabeth city. it goes up toward montauk point. this is go

the center is located over the central bahamas and is heading toward the north western bahamas. it looks like it's going to move to the east coast for the next couple of days and may make landfall in the mid-atlantic coast by tuesday. hurricane force winds will likely continue in the bahamas into tomorrow. storm surge combined with destructive waves as well as high tide. strong winds are ongoing risk on eastern seaboard of the u.s. for the next days in about 300 millimeters. vrn east of florida may be expecting to see 150 millimeters of rain. we'll keep you updated on the storm's progress. conditions are quite severe in the western great lakes region. as the system moves toward the east frigid air comes in. temperatures will drop significantly. we'll show the figures in just a moment. out toward the west snow showers are decreasing. as i mentioned quite chilly. only 9 degrees expected in chicago and 12 sdedegrees in oklahoma city. here is the extended forecast. >>> that's all for this edition of "newsline." thanks for joining us.

sandy expected to remain a hurricane as it moves through bahamas. a tropical storm warning now in effect for palm beach county florida and thereasure coast, although it is unlikely sandy will make landfall in florida, the storm will likely pass close enough to generate strong wind and heavy rain this weekend. >> tom kierein has been tracking the path of sandy and is going to tell us what kind of impact it might have our area. >> in a few hours, we'll get new models that come in. i've been feverishly analyzing these models. i'm quickly running back and looking at the latest information, keeping you fully informed. it is very important that you stay very closely attuned to the forecast here at nbc 4. storm team 4 will be on it morning, noon, and night. we'll be here for you. right now this morning, no travel problems weather-wise, except a little bit of flog. we have some patchy dense fog in the northern eastern suburbs. watch out for that. elsewhere, got a clear sky and temperatures are generally in the 50s. much of the region. so it's a cool morning

the center of it in the northwestern parts of the the bahamas. we believe it will be a long duration event affecting millions of people in the midlantic and the northeast for several days. the computer model forecasts are still spread out, but confidence is growing that we will see an impact and maybe things could head a little too hard or at. that would be better for us. expected to combine with a strong cold front. some of that will weaken the storm on the west side because of the wind shear, but the jet stream is so strong that it could cost intensification. that's why we're getting norms like frankenstorm because it's pretty rare to see something like this. we will have to watch this the next couple days. today we are preparing for the prthreat. sunshine this afternoon, low 70's. temperatures dropping into the sixties this weekend. two more days before start to feel the impact. we will not be done until wednesday. let's check on traffic with jamee whitten. >> thanks for that information. this friday the commute looks fine, no problems on 66,

it is tracking through the bahamas with the wind field expanding just a little bit. it is still a category 2 hurricane. moving north at a brisk 20 miles an hour. it is forecast to make its way east of florida and east of the south carolina coastal area, starts to pull toward bermuda and then gets pulled back into the atlantic by some other level steering winds. you can see this wide range of possibilities from southern new england to maybe the carolina outer banks. anywhere in that huge region, the storm could make landfall sometime sunday night going into monday. it looks like monday will be the worst day around here. we have been watching this very closely. there is the center of the storm, southeast of hatteras. the tighter the isobars are together, the stronger the wind s. on that track we get major weather problems here with winds and flooding rains and coastal erosion. monday will be the worst day around here. the storm finally pulled off to the north and west. the cold air will follow at. 67-72 tomorrow, monica -- morning fog and then mostly cloudy. average wa

the storm right over the central bahamas right here. our radar only going out about 100 miles off the coast of portions of florida. we'll zoom into this area right around miami, over to west palm beach, ft. lauderdale, and right up the coast toward melbourne, they are seeing the outer bands here, you can see them coming through. with these bands, they are seeing wind gusts over tropical storm force. where does sandy go from there. winds are now 105 miles an hour. tas moves to the north it will make its way towards florida and back away out to sea. and then as we have been talking about for days here, making that turn back towards the northeast. we've been mentioning this to you. right now the latest track has it coming very close towards new york city, philadelphia, maybe even our area. once again, this is the cone of uncertainty. don't look at this line here. anywhere in this area is the best chance to see this. now we are in that cone. i do think this storm will be a little bit stronger than what the hurricane center has and i think i

here's the bahamas. central bahamas seeing hurricane sandy now. back to miami, they're seeing what's going on with this. thunderstorms and outer rain band. they're seeing winds upwards of 50 to 60 miles per hour. that's about it for southern florida. they'll see a lot of rain but the winds will be 50 to 60 max. they may have some power outages, but it's not going to be a huge storm for southern florida. where this is going to be a huge storm, portions of miami, this band coming through here, that's where you see the strongest winds, fort myers, west palm beach. 105 miles an hour right now, close to the center of the storm with winds moving to the north at about 20 miles an hour. the storm moving to the north at 20 miles an hour. on that track, moves out, back out into the open waters of the atlantic. and what we've been talking about for days, this storm moving back to the coast. people saying the computer model sending it out to the atlantic. that's not happening. they're all coming back on this trend that we've been talking about for days. we'll

as the hurricane moved off north to the bahamas compaq -- to the bahamas, daylight met them without power. before hurricane sandy had cuba, it had battered at jamaica. power lines were down and many were forced to be taken to emergency shelters. an elderly man was said to have been killed when a boulder crashed into his house. ibegs a there are many that are trapped in the keys. they were told to evacuate before and refuse to do so. they are now trapped. they called for help, which was by that time to late. >> while jamaica begins couldn't -- cleaning up and council cost -- and counts the costs, the hurricane is headed for the bahamas and there is a tropical storm warning for florida. >> election day in america is not for another 12 days, but that has not stopped millions across the country from already casting their votes. in the past half-hour, there was one notable figure at about the box, barack obama. he is the first one ever to get there before polling day. here is why. >> i travel a lot in my work and i'm not sure if i will be in dc on election day. why not get it 0 @ -- get it out

when it now at 80 miles an hour and it will get up into the bahamas -- into the bahamas. that makes the turn toward bermuda. then it will bend back toward the united states and that's for the problems come for us. we're fairly confident it will go into the bahamas and then there's a wide range of possibilities. one of the more reliable computers is the one on the european weather center and it has the center of the storm southeast of hatteras. but it takes a ride into the delaware bay. that's a problem if this verifies. that would mean strong wind and torrential rain. that is the european model. it's only one, but it's one of the possibilities we are looking at. then some cold air comes rushing in behind it and that's why you could get some snow out of that system. we will just have to see how would unfolds. morning fog and afternoon sun. the wind out of the bay from the east. temperatures will be mild. on the eastern shore, the fog has to burn off and the afternoon sun will push temperatures into the '70s. by afternoon highs will be right around the 70 degree mark. enjoy

a close picture of sandy now moving into the bahamas. 105 miles per hour winds. the expected traffic is expected to be north. 70 for a high today. we brought that down all of it because of all the clouds. those of you getting lots of sunshine, you may be getting past 70. definitely cooler than yesterday. that mix of sun and clouds will persist. taking a look at the long-range forecast, this is one computer model. we are ok for the next couple of days. by saturday, we start to see zandi come up from the south and then the storm coming in from the west. the cold air will eventually filter in. this goes until saturday evening, and then sunday morning, we begin to see the snow in the great lakes, sandy getting closer, heavier rain bands coming in to the chesapeake bay. we have been watching a lot of these computer models. the dominance solution -- and there are more models out there than what we see here -- is this pink line from the del mar and area up to law island. that seems to be the consensus of were the models want to bring the storm. seven-day forecast. 70 to

it's in the bahamas. it's a powerful category 2 storms with 105-mile-per-hour winds and the thinking is, it's going to kind of scoot parallel to the the east coast through sunday and be east of the outer banks of north carolina by then. but the real key is when does this forecast turn back to the left happen? that could be monday or tuesday. anywhere from the mid-atlantic to southern new england. so what does that mean for us? that means there's the possibility of storm-force winds, major coastal flooding, power out annuals, and an inland areas in the higher terrain regioning, say western pennsylvania, maryland, virginia, and west virginia, we could be looking at some significant snows. how bad that coastal flooding is will depend exactly how strong the storm is, and the exact location where it makes landstall. >> pelley: david, why does it make that left turn you're talkin talking about talking about? >> reporter: that's the real tricky part of this and the very unusual aspect of this storm. what we have

we were looking at a category 2 storm this afternoon going through the central bahamas. a little jog to the northwest and back to the northeast. here we are by saturday morning. the questions come after that the official track for the hurricane center parallels the coast here as it heads east of us as a strong nontropical storm, still with winds at 70 miles an hour. we're talking tuesday morning. monday night, tuesday morning at 2:00 a.m. this is the official forecast. i want to show you the model forecasting on this. while it's pretty much in consensus here over the short term, watch what happens as we get beyond into monday and tuesday. some models go this way. did you see that? there are a couple of models -- three models now wanting to bring it towards the west. one of them toward the delmarva. this would be devastating should this occur. this is why we are concerned where sandy's future track may go. there could be a lot of damage on the coast. even cold enough believe it or not could have snow in the mountains. our bus stop forecast today, mostly cloudy this mornin

this is the center of the storm now making the bahamas, but notice all -- raking the bahamas, but notice all the moisture it's still stirring up. that's pretty impressive. now you can see the big time

so it could weaken as it makes its way through the bahamas. then it will have chance to strengthen again. this could be a very strong storm wa high impact of wind and rain on sunday for areas through north carolina, southeastern areas of virginia, areas around norfolk and virginia beach. and then on toward rehoboth and ocean city on sunday, with rain and wind. saturday, we're okay. but then on monday, monday it looks like the day when we could be impacted the highest. monday and early tuesday, with rain and wind. we could be looking at winds as the storm system makes its way northward about 60 miles per hour for several hours on monday. we're talking a lot of rain, too, with a slow-moving system. coastal areas get hit the hardest with coastal flooding, heavy rain. and that means power outages, too, possible with that sustained wind. here we go in our forecast for the evening. a few clouds. we're very warm. 73 to 78 degrees. by tomorrow morning, we're mostly clear. another warm start for us at 50 to 60 degrees with a light wind. then tomorrow a

the storm itself is right over the central bahamas. we do have the latest advisory now which has just come out from the national hurricane center, the 5:00 advisory has winds of 105 miles an hour, moving to the north at 20 miles an hour. and 105 miles an hour, it is a strong category 2 storm. pressuren

. >>> sandy has weakened a little, but still pounding bahamas. the storm is blamed for 21 deaths in the caribbean and 11 in cuba. sandy expected to cause prtropil storm conditions in southeast florida and then track along the east coast. alex wallace from the the weather channel joins us for an update. alex, what's the expected path

a tight consens through the bahamas. then they start this turn. watch what happens as we get into the period later sunday into monday and tuesday. some of them are going this way but what has me concerned are the ones that are coming towards the coast making the left turn. if this were to happen, let's say this happens, and this is not in concrete. if this model has got it, delaware bay will be pounded. southern new jersey is going to be pounded. there will be tremendous flooding. even wilmington, delaware, philadelphia potentially as it comes up the bay. for us we would see rain and wind. not as bad as the coast but clearly tremendous wind and rainstorm. maybe enough cold air for snow in the mountains. this is why the hype for sandy has begun because this could be an epic storm. mostly loudy this morning, 50s and 60s -- cloudy this morning, 50s and 60s. if it goes out to sea, that's the best answer. aim with you on that one. day planner 63 by 9:00. 68 by noon. temperatures in the mid-50s in reston although fairfax is 60. ashburn is 61. it's 59 at

there she is now pulling out of the northern bahamas. the center of the circulation is on the south end of the cloud tops. 80 miles an hour. it's come down agent bit more. still a category 1 storm gusting to 100 moving northwest at 13. it will be attacking in this direction. i'm going to stand on the east side of this. i want to show you the path here as it sort of parallels the coast, turns away from it a little bit but it will still throw the wind, the rain back on the east coast of florida, carolinas. the surf will take a battering. they'll maintain it at hurricane strength through sunday morning at least. even more than that. even sunday morning down there it's going to throw some rain our way with an encroaching cold front. i think the rains actually begin saturday night into sunday. by monday morning at 8:00, it's even with norfolk, virginia beach still with winds at 80 miles an hour. the wind field expanding. this is what's new. if you were with me just 20 minutes ago or so, we showed you the track was more atlantic city. now it's

then the bahamas. but all the while losing a little bit of strength and the tropical characteristics. now, the cold front across the united states will take this and most likely turn it into a major nor'easter storm by this time next week. that track is still up in the air. we'll watch that over the next couple of days. let me show you jamaica. they are in a hurricane warning right now. they made preparations yesterday. right now montego bay, the airport is closed. rains will pick up shortly here. you can see the hurricane force winds there by early afternoon hours. the hurricane warnings are out there. we do have the track going up to the north. hurricane warnings in purple. north a little farther, the blue is a tropical storm warning for most of the bahamas, a tropical storm watch now all the way down to the florida keys. the winds today about 30, 35 miles an hour. the real tropical storm force stuff won't reach florida until probably early friday morning. so you've got a couple of days. rain at west

the storm itself is still over the bahamas. we don't have radar out that far, but the center clearly defined here. we're going to be watching this one very closely over the next couple of days. this is the latest track from the national hurricane center, the latest winds 90 miles an hour. that is down a little bit, moving north-northwest at 15 miles an hour. still a strong cat thegoer 1 storm and that's pretty much where this is going to be, probably a cat 1, maybe a cat 2 over the next few days. this may state a cat 1. doesn't matter the strength of the hurricane because once it moves our way it has the potential to become a superstorm. the latest track has now shifted farther to the south, more in line to our area, and i think we are going to see major impacts from this from the delmarva coast or toward delaware and maryland beaches right on in through the d.c. metro area. very high impacts and maybe even more than that. we're going to be talking much more about this coming up in my full forecast. right now, though, we go to

there's been a buoy in the bahamas recording a 22-foot wave. the key is, it is morning north and those warm motion temperatures in the atlantic go to 70 degrees and then off new jersey, they are in the 60s. you don't find 50s until you make the turn at cape cod. look at the temperatures in -- in chicago. 30s. this is a cold front coming through. one forecast model is not on board. all of the other onings are. we'll see. we'll see how this develops over the next couple of days. it will move up the coast and then there -- there are projections for a foot of rain. if it merges and comes together like that. we'll have plenty to write about. amazing system f sunny for us. it looks like a -- amazing system. sunny for us. it looks like a -- next chance of rain, halloween. it does not look that strong. >> okay. thank you. >>> today is opening kay of -- opening day at borriel resort. starting at 9:00, one lift will open up. lift tickets are $15 today. $35 for the rest of the weekend. >>> apple has had fewer ipad sales than expected. and that breaks a st

at the moment, sandy had 80 mile per hour winds and is in the northern bahamas. the hurricane center has 8 losing its hurricane structure before it makes landfall here. -- has its losing its hurricane structure before it makes landfall here. that will be tuesday at about 80 and -- at about 8:00 in the morning. that does not mean it will not be a strong storm, but it will lose its tropical composition. it is still an extremely pot -- powerful and dangerous storm, at least the potential for it. 61 is the high today. generally cloudy with no sunshine. the morning fog as pretty does -- pretty much dissipated. east wins at 5 to 10 miles per hour. -- the east wind is at 5 to 10 miles per hour. here is one of the computer models. saturday, we pick up some clouds and rain to the south of us beginning to move north. you can see sandy meeting the cold one to the west. here is the eye -- the eye of the storm right here. by monday, we begin to see snow in the mountains. sandy is just off shore based on this model, headed off the belmar peninsula and we are getting brain base

hurricane sandy takes aim at the bahamas after pounding cuba. the category 2 hurricane is blamed for at least two reported deaths, one in jamaica and another in haiti and people living along the u.s. east coast could be affected by sandy. rob marciano is here. he's tracking sandy. so who is she going to hit? >> kind of late in the season for this but looks like everybody on the east coast, directly on the east coast, will be affected by this storm. right now winds of 105 miles per hour, re-emerging into the atlantic, going to go through the bahamas as a category 2. get beaten around pretty good. places like florida, the east coast especially will get affects from this as well. it will not make a direct hit but close enough to get tremendous amount of waves. we'll have 20 to 30, maybe higher foot waves breaking across the east coast of florida later on today, tonight and into tomorrow morning. expect it to sustain a category 1 status until about cape hat ter res and waters get cooler and winds interact with it. these winds associated with cool ai

itself pretty well through eastern cuba and then get into the balm hall as thursday and then it -- bahamas thursday and then it takes a little more of a westerly track. the east coast of florida will get hit with pretty big rains and at least tropical storm force winds and that's going to be a thursday night, early friday scenario for florida. then it begins to turn off to the north and to the east. now here's the deal. i don't think it's going to be a problem for the weekend. i think the problem is going to come next week, monday or more likely tuesday and wednesday, as the storm begins to retrograde north and west back into new england. by that time it's not going to be tropical. tropical storms are warm core storms. this will be a coal core storm, but this could -- cold core storm, but this could become a monster as it pushes back to the northwest tuesday. if that were the case, we would get tropical storm force winds and pretty good rain. if it stays offshore this weekend, which i think it will, we may not be done with what's left of sandy next week. >>> we've got some breaking news ou

sandy's powerful winds and flooding rains battered the bahamas and caribbean and at least 43 people have died as a result of this storm so far. most of the deaths occurred in haiti where officials fear even more fatalitiefatalities. nbc meteorologist dylan dryer is here with a look at the forecast track. good morning to you, dylan. >> good morning, alex. we are talking about this storm. it has weakened. but that doesn't change anything. this is still going to be a major storm. especially for the mid-atlantic region. it is downgraded to a tropical storm right now and notice its movement. it's moving north/northeast at about 10 miles per hour. it is going to take a turn to the northwest on monday. we're talking about this storm staying so far out to sea and it is going to have such a big impact on the east coast. for now it is a very large storm. you can see the heaviest of the rain is still out over the water. we are starting to see some of the outer rain bands producing lighter rain along the beaches of north carolina and south carolina. and it is going to take this path, following paral

by now the center of the storm is down in the central part of the bahamas and is still a healthy category two hurricane with 105 mile an hour winds. look at the bench in the tracks for the west up for the mid atlantic coast. that will be sunday night going into monday. the storm system could be riding are vicinity as we get into monday. right over the baltimore area late monday night going into tuesday morning. more on how it will impact our weather, coming up in a few minutes. >> track hurricanes sandy with us by following the storm on our interactive radar act wbaltv.com and on our mobile app. >> convicted sniper lee malvo now claims he was not just controlled by john loman, but he was sexually abused. -- by john mohammad. jayne miller is live in the newsroom with what he said. >> the sniper team of malvo and mohammed terrorized the area for three weeks in 2002, killing without rhyme or reason. now 27, he says even though he knew it was wrong, he could not make it stop. leave at -- lee malvo says he was powerless to defy a jaunt mohammad 10 years ago and make the sniper shooting stopped

how over the bahamas. she has cleared the mountain. some additional strengthening not out of the question. this is still a large powerful storm and all maryland del projections have trended this thing further west manying -- meaning the impacts could be felt. where in this swath the storm will come in is a key factor. if it's close are to virginia, a much bigger impact. if she tracks further north, jobs up toward long island, higher impacts for new england. either way, we'll sew a lot of wind, a lot of rain. we have more coming up. >>> the city of baltimore has taken steps. there are several things you can do. first, they say make sure you have a battery powered radio, flashlights and enough water to last three days. make sure to clear debris from your neighborhood storm drains. >>> sandy is already makes its mark on florida. tropical storm warnings have been issued. we'll take you live to delray beach and check in with our sister station for the latest. >>> he had come to visit family members on leave from the military. >> but the 24-

the storm is moving out of the bahamas. so far the storm is blamed for at least 21 deaths, more than half of them in cuba. >>> utility companies up and down the eastern sea board already working to prevent long power outages. news 4's tony tull live with more on what power crews are doing to try to get ready. >> reporter: aaron, good morning. we've been saying it the last 24 hours. it's all about the preparation. pepco has already put 400 contractors on stand by for the preparation that sandy should make landfall. they also have put out a request for mutual aid, asking that other power companies in the southern and western regions to send crews should sandy make landfall. one of the big things pepco is doing is checking out transfo transforme transformers, checking out power poles, make sure they do everything they can to be prepared. one of the new things we learned this morning, aaron and eun, is pepco is actually replacing some wire. for example, you folks in montgomery county who are used to dealing with widespread powe

and right now, tropical storm sandy is chugging out of the bahamas. it is heading right toward the u.s. coast. people along the seaboard are preparing for the storm's high winds and the severe storm surge. sandy could strengthen back into a hurricane before making landfall, and weather channel meteorologist julie martin is live in nags head, north carolina for us. julie, good morning. you know, i hate saying that it's been downgraded because i know this thing in all likelihood will come back up to full speed, right? and you're seeing the first effects right now there. >> yeah, alex, it doesn't really matter that much. because, right now, what we're dealing with is a very large system, with a large wind field. so it's if a tropical storm, if it's a hurricane, it doesn't really matter. all that much at this point, because that wind field is so large, the effects are going to be so widespread, and millions of people, potentially, impacted by sandy as it makes its way up the coast. just to give you some perspective, i'm in nags head, north carolina. the c

the bahamas and who knows for new england and the mid-atlantic. let's get into it. it will be a big headache for a lot of people, maybe millions of people over the next couple of days. first things first, it has to go through jamaica. the storm is looking more organized overnight. it looks to be increasing in size. the center located right there and now trying to form an eye on satellite imagery. where is the storm heading today in jamaica possibly as a hurricane, crossing over cuba and somewhere over the central bahamas. close enough to florida to bring rain to the east coast of florida. large waves and the possibility of rip currents. from there the storm heads up parallel to the coast line of the southeast. there's some question how close it will be. does not look like we'll see a direct impact or landfall. rip currents and definitely large waves are almost guaranteed at this point. once it gets somewhere near bermuda. a blocking high will stop the storm from heading out to sea. there's a possibility that it will turn into a nor'easter storm and maybe a strong no

it is blocking its way through the bahamas at the present -- walking its way to the bahamas at the present time. the jet stream is going to dig way down the east coast and sandy is going to grab some of that cold air. it will turn itself into a nor'easter. a tropical system has the same temperature all the way around the storm. this will not be a hurricane by the time it gets to us. the computer models have been having difficulty deciding where this is going to go. as of today, this is the latest plot. this is important. even though it will not be a hurricane, it will carry that a big wall of water an elaborate 10 or 12 foot storm surge. -- it will still have 810 or 12-foot storm surge. these four computer models take it up to new york city monday night and tuesday morning. the won the national weather service uses a lot takes it all the way up to boston. after it comes onshore, it is such a huge storm, we will see heavy rain, wind gusts between 30 and 50 miles per hour, and possibly some flooding. at least we will miss the worst of it. if it came up the bay, we're talking about a gigantic
