WEBVTT

00:00.838 --> 00:02.258
IS CHOPPIER THAN NORMAL AS WE

00:02.269 --> 00:03.621
GIVE YOU ANOTHER LOOK . THIS IS

00:03.622 --> 00:04.610
SOUTH OF WHERE PRISCILLA WAS

00:04.611 --> 00:05.607
JUST STANDING, WATER GETTING A

00:05.608 --> 00:06.333
LITTLE BIT ROUGHER THERE, AS

00:06.334 --> 00:06.636
WELL.

00:06.647 --> 00:09.677
LET’S GO CALL ME NOW ACROSS THE

00:09.712 --> 00:10.767
STUDIO TO NBC METEOROLOGIST

00:10.778 --> 00:11.311
ANGIE LASSMAN.

00:11.345 --> 00:13.213
WHAT ARE THE MODELS SAYING?
ARE THERE ADDITIONAL ROUNDS

00:13.214 --> 00:17.196
ARE THERE ADDITIONAL ROUNDS

00:17.197 --> 00:25.152
AFTER TROPICAL STORM ALBERTO

00:25.163 --> 00:31.969
HIT THAT PART OF THE AREA LAST

00:31.980 --> 00:32.389
MONTH?

00:32.424 --> 00:32.933
>> YES.

00:32.944 --> 00:33.668
HERE’S THE DEAL.

00:33.679 --> 00:34.506
THE FORECAST HAS MOSTLY

00:34.517 --> 00:35.242
REMAINED UNCHANGED WITH THE

00:35.253 --> 00:35.779
LATEST UPDATES.

00:35.814 --> 00:37.140
WE STILL HAVE A TROPICAL STORM

00:37.142 --> 00:38.456
WE ARE WATCHING WITH WINDS AT

00:38.467 --> 00:39.848
65 MILES PER HOUR AND WE EXPECT

00:39.849 --> 00:40.764
IT TO BECOME A CATEGORY 1

00:40.765 --> 00:41.032
HURRICANE.

00:41.043 --> 00:42.267
DRY AIR HAS HELPED IT FROM

00:42.302 --> 00:43.221
STRENGTHENING EVEN FURTHER OVER

00:43.222 --> 00:44.481
THE PAST 24 TO 36 HOURS.

00:44.482 --> 00:45.580
WE WILL SEE YOU WATCH THIS

00:45.581 --> 00:47.147
CONTINUE TO MOVE NORTH.
RIGHT NOW JUST OVER 165 MILES

00:47.148 --> 00:51.199
RIGHT NOW JUST OVER 165 MILES

00:51.210 --> 00:59.321
FROM THE POINT OF LANDFALL OR

00:59.332 --> 01:00.921
SOMEWHERE NEAR THERE.

01:00.932 --> 01:02.921
WE HAVE A COUPLE OF THINGS TO

01:02.922 --> 01:03.209
NOTE.

01:03.220 --> 01:04.405
THERE IS STILL UNCERTAINTY AND

01:04.440 --> 01:05.612
ERROR WITH FORECASTING, EVEN AS

01:05.613 --> 01:07.106
WE GET CLOSE TO 18 HOURS OUT.

01:07.117 --> 01:08.408
WE WILL LIKELY SEE A LOW END

01:08.409 --> 01:09.323
TROPICAL STORM OR A HIGH-END

01:09.334 --> 01:10.156
CATEGORY 2. THE NATIONAL

01:10.157 --> 01:11.906
HURRICANE CENTER HAS IT AS
COMING IN AS A CATEGORY 1.

01:11.940 --> 01:14.837
COMING IN AS A CATEGORY 1.

01:14.838 --> 01:19.667
THOSE IMPACTS WILL LARGELY HAVE

01:19.668 --> 01:21.957
RAIN, THE STORM SURGE, WINDS

01:21.968 --> 01:23.326
AND EVEN A COUPLE STRONG

01:23.337 --> 01:24.355
TORNADOES WE COULD SEE.

01:24.389 --> 01:25.634
WE STILL SEE THIS SYSTEM MOVING

01:25.635 --> 01:26.720
TO THE NORTH-NORTHEAST AS WE

01:26.731 --> 01:27.614
GET INTO THE MIDDLE OF THE

01:27.615 --> 01:27.908
WEEK.

01:27.909 --> 01:29.110
THAT WILL BRING RAIN TO OTHERS

01:29.121 --> 01:31.770
OF THE COUNTRY.

01:31.805 --> 01:35.174
THE FLOODING RAIN IS WHAT WE ARE

01:35.175 --> 01:36.122
MOST CONCERNED ABOUT,

01:36.133 --> 01:37.406
ESPECIALLY EAST OF THE CENTRE

01:37.408 --> 01:38.896
THERE, 5 TO 10 INCHES OF RAIN,

01:38.930 --> 01:39.846
THE OUTER RAIN BANDS ARE MOVING

01:39.857 --> 01:41.293
ONSHORE.

01:41.328 --> 01:46.691
IT COULD BE UPWARDS OF 10 TO 15

01:46.702 --> 01:47.776
INCHES OF RAIN.

01:47.787 --> 01:48.792
THAT WILL BE PROBLEMATIC,

01:48.803 --> 01:49.665
ESPECIALLY FOR PLACES LIKE

01:49.676 --> 01:50.511
HOUSTON, WHICH ARE REALLY

01:50.522 --> 01:51.945
VULNERABLE TO ADDITIONAL RAIN.
AVENUE SATURATED GROUND SO WE

01:51.980 --> 01:56.125
AVENUE SATURATED GROUND SO WE

01:56.136 --> 02:06.098
HAVE FLOOD ALERTS UP FOR 11

02:06.109 --> 02:09.436
MILLION PEOPLE RIGHT NOW WHEN

02:09.437 --> 02:11.590
IT COMES TO THE STRONG WINDS,

02:11.624 --> 02:13.142
THEY ARE GETTING CLOSEST TO THE

02:13.143 --> 02:14.506
CENTER OF THE SYSTEM UPWARDS OF

02:14.508 --> 02:15.855
90 MILES PER HOUR IS THE HIGHER

02:15.857 --> 02:16.844
END OF WHAT WE SEE.

02:16.845 --> 02:17.853
MINOR TO MODERATE WIND DAMAGES

02:17.864 --> 02:18.765
WHAT WE ARE EXPECTING, DOWNED

02:18.776 --> 02:19.616
TREES, DOWNED POWER LINES,

02:19.617 --> 02:20.587
DAMAGE TO ROOF AND HOMES.

02:20.621 --> 02:21.475
WATCH OUT FOR THAT.

02:21.476 --> 02:22.821
AS WE EXTEND FURTHER NORTH,

02:22.832 --> 02:26.834
SOUTH AND WEST, WE WILL LIKELY

02:26.845 --> 02:28.651
SEE TROPICAL STORM FORCE WINDS.

02:28.662 --> 02:30.137
WHEN IT COMES TO THE STORM

02:30.138 --> 02:31.272
SURGE, THIS IS ANOTHER CONCERN,

02:31.273 --> 02:32.398
ONE THING TO NOTE, WE WILL

02:32.409 --> 02:33.162
ACTUALLY SEE LANDFALL BETWEEN

02:33.173 --> 02:34.024
4:00 AND 6:00 A.M.

02:34.025 --> 02:34.920
FALLING BETWEEN HIGH TIDE AND

02:34.955 --> 02:35.647
LOW TIDE TIME.

02:35.648 --> 02:36.866
THE STORM SURGE NUMBERS, LIKELY

02:36.877 --> 02:38.464
WERE YOU SEE 4 TO 6, CLOSER TO

02:38.465 --> 02:39.605
5 HEAT FEET ON I AM.

02:39.616 --> 02:40.644
PLACES LIKE GALVESTON AND SOUTH

02:40.645 --> 02:42.864
PADRE ISLAND 2 TO 4 FEE.
WE WILL SEE THE DANGEROUS SURF

02:42.898 --> 02:45.513
WE WILL SEE THE DANGEROUS SURF

02:45.524 --> 02:51.649
AND RIP CURRENTS BUT WE WILL BE

02:51.651 --> 02:54.214
WATCHING FOR THE STORM SURGE TO

02:54.248 --> 02:56.135
BE SOMEWHERE AROUND 4 TO 5 FEET

02:56.137 --> 02:57.437
ON THE HIGHER END OF THIS.

02:57.438 --> 02:58.466
ADDITIONALLY WE HAVE THE CHANCE

02:58.467 --> 02:59.488
FOR SOME OF THE STRONG

02:59.499 --> 03:00.905
TORNADOES ACROSS PARTS OF TEXAS

03:00.940 --> 03:02.016
AND OKLAHOMA AS A SYSTEM MOVES

03:02.027 --> 03:03.557
NORTH.

03:03.592 --> 03:05.439
HOUSTON, CAMERON, LOUISIANA,

03:05.450 --> 03:06.838
INCLUDING HOUSTON, FROM PORT

03:06.849 --> 03:08.098
LAVACA, YOU SEE THE ROTATION

03:08.133 --> 03:08.957
COMING ONSHORE, IT IS ALWAYS
