WE WILL FIND OUT WHEN THE OFFICIAL LANDFALL TAKES PLACE IF IT HAS NOT ALREADY. IS IMMINENT RIGHT NOW. IT WILL MOVE INTO OUR AREA, AND HERE IS HOW IT PLAYS OUT. TOMORROW MORNING, YOU WAKE UP AND EVERYTHING SHIFTED A LITTLE MORE TO THE WEST. IT DOES NOT MEAN WE ARE OUT OF THE WOODS, BUT IT SHIFTED. EAST OF THE LINE IS WHERE THE BIGGEST WHEN MAX WILL BE BACK SOMEWHAT WEATHER OUT THERE, NOT THE BIG STUFF. WE TALKED ABOUT:00 UNTIL 4:00 FOR THE WINDOW FOR HEAVY ACTIVITY.
