Quick Update

Hurricane Matthew looks likely to make landfall near West Palm Beach or Port St. Lucie on the Florida East Coast around 1 am Friday morning, then will track north along the Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, and North Carolina coasts, then will turn east, staying south of Cape Hatteras.

The Florida East Coast will be hit the hardest as winds could reach up to 140 mph or so from about West Palm Beach up to Cape Canaveral. 

Winds could even gust to 80 mph or more in the Orlando area as the eye of Matthew may take a slightly inland track while heading north. This would also cause the storm to weaken a bit, giving a bit of a reprieve to areas further north.

More a bit later with the Morning Weather Discussion and Look at the Next 2 Weeks.
