LONNIE QUINN. HE'S BEEN MONITORING THE TRACK OF THE STORM AND OUR LOCAL WEATHER, LONNIE. >> YOU HAD LOTS OF GREAT QUESTIONS, KJ, WHEN WE WERE TALKING DURING THAT SPECIAL REPORT. I'M GOING TO TRY TO ADDRESS EVERYTHING. LOOK, THE CONVERSATION WE JUST HAD WAS SO FULL OF GOOD INFORMATION FOR YOU FOLKS AT HOME. RIGHT NOW HERE WE'RE BEAUTIFUL OUTSIDE, QUITE A BIT OF BLUE, 67, 68 WAS YOUR HIGH TEMP TODAY. NOW IT'S GOING TO BE CHILLY IN THE MORNING. IF YOUR TEMPERATURES DROP BELOW 50, YOU COULD HAVE WINDCHILLS. I THINK WE WILL HAVE SOME WINDCHILL READINGS OUT THERE. ABUNDANT SUNSHINE UNTIL SUNDAY.

MILTON IS MAKING LANDFALL IN A FEW HOURS. IT'S GOING TO BE ABOUT A TEN-HOUR CROSSING FROM WEST COAST TO EAST COAST, SO WE'LL DEAL WITH THAT DURING THE OVERNIGHT HOURS IN FLORIDA. YOU WAKE UP IN NEW YORK CITY TOMORROW TO 4 DEGREES. 38 IN MONTICELLO, BUT WITH SOME WINDS BLOWING, 48 IN THE CITY FEELS LIKE 43. MY GOODNESS, FEELS LIKE 30 DEGREES IN MONTICELLO. YOU WILL GET A PRETTY SKY ALL ACROSS THE BOARD THURSDAY, FRIDAY, SATURDAY, 75. HURRICANE MILTON. IT IS RIGHT NOW AS WE SPEAK 60 MILES WEST-SOUTHWEST

OF SARASOTA, FLORIDA. AND THAT LOOKS LIKE WHERE IT WANTS TO HEAD. 60 MILES OFFSHORE, IT'S MOVING AT 17 MILES PER HOUR. SO JUST FOR EASIER MATH'S SAKE, SAY 20, THREE, THREE AND A HALF HOURS OR SO, WE COULD POTENTIALLY HAVE A LANDFALL. WE ARE THINKING IT SLOWS UP POSSIBLY AS WELL. SO WE'RE GOING TO WATCH IT AS WELL. RAIN ON THE NORTHERN SIDE, LESS RAIN ON THE SOUTHERN SIDE, BUT KJ WAS TALKING TO ME ABOUT THIS. KJ, IS YOUR MIC OPEN OVER THERE? >> YES, IT IS. >> PHRASE THE QUESTION AGAIN. >> I WAS LOOKING AT THE RADAR AND SAW THE SAME COLORS ON THE

EAST COAST SIDE OF FLORIDA AS WE'RE SEEING ON THE WEST COAST. >> THIS IS A GREAT QUESTION. THIS IS WHAT SHE'S TALKING ABOUT. HERE'S YOUR EYE GETTING CLOSE TO THE EYE WALL COMING ONSHORE. THE EAST COAST, THEY'RE GETTING HAMMERED ON THE EAST COAST. YOU SHOULD SEE THE STORM REPORTS. LOOK AT THIS, THESE ARE TORNADOS, ALL RIGHT? WE SHOWED YOU SOME VIDEO EARLIER OF A WATERSPOUT. WHEN A WATERSPOUT COMES ONSHORE, IT'S A TORNADO. ONLY TWO ON THE WEST COAST, I'D VENTURE FIVE, SIX, SEVEN, EIGHT, NINE, NINE ON THE WESTERN SIDE -- ON THE EASTERN SIDE. HERE IS HOW YOU FIGURE THAT OUT. THIS

IS THE DIRECTION THE STORM'S MOVING. YOU CUT THAT IN HALF. THIS IS THE NORTHEAST QUADRANT, THE DIRTY SIDE OF THE STORM. TOUGHEST STORM SURGE AT THE COAST AND THE MOST HURRICANE ACTIVITY, TORNADIC ACTIVITY, AS THE STORM MOVES THROUGH. IN OUR AREA, GUYS, LOOKS LIKE THIS. WE STILL LOOK NICE OUT THERE. THERE IS A CHANCE, AND IT'S A SLIGHT ONE FOR A LITTLE RAIN ON SUNDAY NIGHT, BUT FOR THE MOST PART, IT'S A REALLY GOOD LOOKING SEVEN-DAY FOR US. THAT SITUATION IN FLORIDA, AGAIN, IT'S A CAT 3 RIGHT NOW. I HOPE IT CAN GET DOWN TO A CAT 2. I'LL TAKE ANYTHING WE CAN GET. FACT IS, I BELIEVE AND
