IT ALSO FEATURES EMMY-WINNING ACTOR JIM PARSONS. PERFORMANCES BEGIN ON OCTOBER 2nd AT THE HAYES THEATER. >>> DOWNTIME FOR THE WEATHER AND THIS HURRICANE THAT IS LOOMING IN THE ATLANTIC THAT I KNOW YOU GUYS ARE BUSY TRACKING. >> WE HAVE THE 5:00 UPDATE THAT I WANT TO SHARE WITH ALL YOU FOLKS. THE STORIES ARE THE HEAT AND THE HURRICANE. WE TALKED BOTH RIGHT NOW. I HAVE ABOUT THREE MINUTES TO GET TO EVERYTHING. FIRST I GET YOU TO OUTSIDE. IT IS STILL HOT OUTSIDE. THAT HAS NOT CHANGED. WE HAVE BEEN HOLDING ONTO 92 SINCE 4:00 THIS AFTERNOON. IT LOOKS LIKE TOMORROW WE MAKE OUR

FIRST HEAT WAVE OF THE SUMMER. AND THEN IT IS 80s FOR A FEW DAYS AND THEN IT LOOKS LIKE THE 70s FOR A GOOD CHUNK OF NEXT WEEK AND THEN HURRICANE LEE DOES NOTHING BUT GET STRONGER. IT BECAME A HURRICANE AT 5:00 THIS AFTERNOON, BUT 92 ON TUESDAY, 93 TODAY, AND FRIDAY HAS A SHOT ALSO TO GET EXTENDED. BUT RIGHT NOW WE HAVE A HEAT WAVE FOR TOMORROW WHICH IS PRETTY LATE IN THE SEASON TO HAVE OUR FIRST HEAT WAVE. WE TAKE A LOOK AT HOW THE RAIN PLAYS INTO THE PICTURE. THERE IS A FRONT COMING THROUGH BUT IT GETS HERE LATER IN THE DAY. THIS IS SHOWING SOMETIME AFTER LUNCH TIME WITH LEADING

SHOWERS COMING INTO THE AREA. BUT HE PROVIDES THE LIFT AND HUMIDITY GIVES YOU THE BUILDING BLOCK FOR A STRONG STORM AND THE STORMS WILL BE ISOLATED. IT IS NOT FOR EVERYBODY BUT THEY COULD BE STRONG OUT THERE. SO THE CHANCE FOR SEVERE WEATHER IS THERE. THIS IS ON THURSDAY. THEN YOU GO INTO FRIDAY AND HERE WE ARE GOING INTO THE AFTERNOON. WE HEAT UP THE ATMOSPHERE ONCE AGAIN AND IT IS A REPEAT PERFORMANCE. SO IT COULD VERY WELL BE THE SORT OF THING WE SEE FOR A COUPLE DAYS OUT THERE. I DO WANT TO SHOW YOU WHAT IS GOING ON IN THE TROPICS. HURRICANE LEE, 75-MILE-PER-HOUR WINDS ABOUT 11

HUNDRED MILES TO THE EAST OF BARBADOS. IT IS OVER OPEN OCEAN WATER AND WILL NOT ENCOUNTER ANY OF THE ISLANDS. YOU DON'T WANT IT GOING TOWARDS WHERE PEOPLE LIVE BUT IT PROVIDES FRICTION AND THE HURRICANE GETS WEAKER. THIS STAYS OVER OPEN OCEAN THE ENTIRE TIME AND GETS STRONGER. WE ARE EXPECTING CATEGORY FOUR BY SATURDAY AND SUNDAY, UP TO 150-MILE-PER-HOUR WINDS. THAT IS SEVEN MILES PER HOUR SHY OF IN CATEGORY FIVE. WHAT HAPPENS AFTER SUNDAY AND MONDAY? THIS IS AS FAR AS WE SEE IT. I WANT TO BRING IN LONG-RANGE PROJECTIONS AND I HAVE GOT TO TELL YOU, REMEMBER, LONG-RANGE PROJECTIONS ARE NOT

SUPER ACCURATE. IT IS NOT SUPER ACCURATE, BUT IT GIVES YOU AN IDEA OF WHAT IS AT PLAY. THIS IS MY FAVORITE PART OF METEOROLOGY - PUTTING INTO MOTION, WATCH YOUR CAT5. THAT IS SUNDAY. HERE WE ARE INTO TUESDAY. IT IS GOING TOWARDS THE BAHAMAS, AND THEN IT GOES NORTH. I KNOW WE LOVE THE EUROPEAN BECAUSE IT HAS BEEN SO ACCURATE IN THE PAST, BUT THIS SHOWS THE FRONT, WHICH I VIEW AS OUR SWEEPING MECHANISM PUSHING IT BACK OUT TO SEA. THE LOW WOULD SUCK THE SYSTEM INTO OUR AREA. THIS IS NOT A DEFINITE. LOTS OF THINGS COULD CHANGE BETWEEN NOW AND SEPTEMBER 16TH, BUT I AM WATCHING THIS ONE SO

CAREFULLY FOR YOU GUYS, VERY, VERY CAREFULLY. THAT IS ALL I'M GOING TO SAY. THE EUROPEAN MODEL DOES NOT LOOK GREAT FOR THE NORTHEAST. SO WE HAVE A RED ALERT FOR TOMORROW AND A BETTER CHANCE FOR STORMS, SO WE HAVE RAMPED IT UP FROM YELLOW TO RED. FRIDAY WE STILL HAVE A CHANCE FOR SHOWERS. 88. IF THE SHOWERS DON'T KICK IN AT THE RIGHT TIME YOU COULD FIND 90 OR 92 ON FRIDAY AS WELL. SATURDAY WE START TO BRING THOSE TEMPERATURES DOWN AND THEN BY NEXT WEEK WE GET TO THE 70s OUT THERE AND THAT STORM IS A TRICKY ONE.
