Latest on Matthew

Today's video:

Matthew emerged from eastern Cuba in a somewhat weakened state this morning. However, the system remains a powerful Category 3 hurricane.

Matthew will track NW through much of the Bahamas, and should remain a powerful hurricane while doing so. I maintain that this will be a really rough hurricane for most of the Bahamas.

Through the day Friday, Matthew will track extremely close to the Florida coast, and then at some point, will make a sharp turn to the right. How quickly this easterly turn occurs will determine how bad the impacts are along the Carolina coast.
