Wcvb Hurricane Sandy First Call Video 1

>> Harvey: OF COURSE, ALL EYES ARE ON SANDY, BUT RIGHT NOW, YOU SEE HOW ROUGH THINGS ARE. IT'S BEEN VERY ROUGH IN THE BAHAMAS. IT'S BEEN VERY ROUGH ON THE FLORIDA COAST. THIS IS MIAMI. THEY'RE THE ONLY THE OUTER BANDS OF THE STORM AS THE CENTER IS STILL A FAIR DISTANCE EAST OF MIAMI. THEY CAN EXPECT TO EXPERIENCE THOSE KIND 'd KIND OF CONDITIONS A WHILE LONGER. YOU ARE SEEING A LITTLE DRY AIR GETTING INTO SOUTHWEST PART OF THE STORM. THAT'S WHY IT'S NOT AS CIRCULAR AS BEFORE. IT'S WEAKENED A LITTLE BIT, 90-MILE-PER-HOUR WINDS. I WOULDN'T FOCUS THAT. IT'S THE SIZE OF THE STORM. IT'S LARGE AND IF ANYTHING IT'S GOING TO GET LARGER OVER TIME. THAT'S WHY WE SAY EVEN THOUGH THE CENTER MAY NOT PASS THAT CLOSE TO US, THE SIGNIFICANCE, SIGNIFICANT ASPECTS OF THE STORM WILL STRETCH OUT FOR HUNDREDS OF MILES. WE'RE SURELY GOING TO BE IMPACTED. THE ONLY THING WE HAVE TO FINE TUNE AS TIME GOES ON IS HOW SEVERELY. HERE'S A LOOK AT THE TRACK ON OUR TRACKER. YOU SEE THE MIDWAY POINT NOW. WE CURL IT IN AROUND THE CENTRAL JERSEY COAST. REMEMBER, THAT DOES PUT US ON THE MOST DANGEROUS SIDE OF THE STORM FOR STORM SURGE AROUND THE SOUTH COAST, THE CAPE, AND EVEN THE EAST COAST AS WELL. AND YOU CAN GET HIGH WINDS, AND OF COURSE THERE WILL BE RAIN THAT COULD CAUSE LOCALIZED FLOODING. USUALLY THE HEAVIEST RAIN IS DOWN HERE, HEAVIEST TOTAL OF RAIN. THIS IS THE WAY IT WILL BE BY MAYBE ABOUT TUESDAY NIGHT. MONDAY, MONDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY THAT WE'LL GET THE MOST SIGNIFICANT EFFECT. HERE'S A LOOK TAKING YOU YOU OUT 72 HOURS, FUTURE-CAST IN TERMS OF THE STORM AND RADAR. IT'S GOING TO MAKE THAT HOOK BACK IN, AND THAT'S WHEN THE MOST SIGNIFICANT CONDITIONSE S WILL START TO HAPPEN HERE. YOU SEE THAT HAPPENING, AND THE CENTER WILL TEND TO STRETCH INTO, LET'S SAY, THE JERSEY COAST. THAT'S THE BEST BET AVERAGE LOCATION FOR WHERE THE CENTER WILL PASS, A REALLY TOUGH SITUATION POTENTIALLY FOR NEW YORK CITY, LONG ISLAND, AND THE SOUTH COAST OF OUR AREA WILL PROBABLY GET MOST SIGNIFICANT. HERE'S THE REASON. IT THAT'S CURL IN BECAUSE WE HAVE THAT BLOCKING PATTERN IN THE ATMOSPHERE. THAT'S WHAT TEND TO HAPPEN. NOW, WE'RE TAKING A LOOK AT ONE OF THE COMPUTER MODELS THAT GOES OUT IN TIME. EVEN WHEN HE GET TO SUNDAY, WE'LL START TO SEE AN INCREASE IN WIND, MOST ESPECIALLY AROUND THE SOUTH COAST, CAPE AND THE ISLANDS, AND CERTAINLY AS WE GET INTO MONDAY AND MONDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY, THERE WILL BE STRONG WINDS. THESE ARE STEADY WINDS PREDICTED. IT DOESN'T INCLUDE GUSTS. SO IT'S SAFE TO SAY WE'RE AT LEAST GOING TO HAVE GUSTS TO TROPICAL FORCE. THAT'S ANYWHERE 40 MILES PER HOUR AND ABOVE UP TO ROUGHLY 70 MILES PER HOUR. AGAIN, IT'S POSSIBLE THERE CAN BE HURRICANE-FORCE GUSTS AND IF THAT HAPPENS THEN THE COASTAL FLOODING, THE BEACH EROSION BECOMES MORE SIGNIFICANT. THE TREE DAMAGE, THE POWER OUTAGE WOULD BECOME MORE WIDESPREAD AS OPPOSED TO SCATTERED IN THE VERY BEST SCENARIO. IF THE TERM TAKES THE FARTHEST SOUTHERN TRACK MAYBE CLOSER TO THE MARYLAND COAST. WE'LL WATCH FOR THE DOWNPOURS AND LOCALIZED FLOODING. AS FAR AS OUR LOCAL WEATHER IS CONCERNED, IT'S QUIET. OUT THERE TONIGHT, IT'S IN THE LOW 50s AND TEMPERATURES ARE IN THE 40 TOSS LOW 50s AROUND THE REGION, CHILLIER TO THE NORTH AS YOU'D EXPECT. WE HAVE PATCHY CLOUDS, BUT FOR THE MOST PART WE'LL SEAL SOME SUNSHINE. IT WILL BE A FAIRLY NICE DAY, AND YOU CAN SEE AS WE SHOW YOU, IN AND OUT OF THE CLOUDS, BUT I DON'T EXPECT PRECIPITATION UNTIL MAYBE SPOTTY SHOWERS BREAK OUT BY SUNDAY AROUND HERE. OVERNIGHT, PARTLY CLOUDY, 39-49. THE WEND WILL BE LIGHT. CHECK OUT YOUR NEXT FIVE AND SEVEN DAYS. THERE YOU HAVE IT. SATURDAY IS THE BETTER OF THE TWO WEEKEND DAYS. SUNDAY THE WINS AND SEAS WILL START BUILDING ON THE COAST. IT IS BETTER TO TAKE CARE OF THINGS ON SATURDAY. THE HIGHER WINDS, THE HEAVY RAINS, THE COASTAL RISK, THAT'S MONDAY, MONDAY NIGHT, INTO TUESDAY. AND A LITTLE IMPROVEMENT WEDNESDAY AND A LOT OF IMPROVEMENT ON THURSDAY. SATURDAY WILL BE CALM AND SUNDAY WILL BE JUST THE VERY BEGINNING OF WHAT WE WILL EVENTUALLY HAVE TO GO THROUGH . WE'LL STALE ON TOP OF IT, J.C. IN THE MORNING, AND I'LL SEE YOU LATER ON TOMORROW. >> Ed: GIVEN THE TIME OF NIGHT, THE CHANNEL 5 BREAK ROOM IS PRETTY CALM RIGHT NOW. NOT A WHOLE LOT GOING ON. >> Heather: THIS BREAK ROOM,
