Transcript for 'Increasing chance' Hurricane Irma could affect Florida: NHC

Linzie, hangenithank you. Ginger zee has the latest on hurricane Irma's path. It's about 300 miles east of the leeward islands and now moving west pretty quickly. So we're going to watch this thing go through warm waters, hurricane warnings as Linzie was detailing that include Puerto Rico, the only good news is this storm looks to pass north of most of them. That means the worst side of the storm is on the north side. So on that right side. Still, though, you could see major effects from wind and certainly 8 to 16 inches of rain on some of those islands if you have any mountains. Then by Sunday morning it's just south of the Florida keys. Still as a category 4 and this current track, the cone includes all of south Florida. That cone is a cone of probability. Remember, this could move in the coming days, because we have a couple of steering factors which I'm going to get into a little later. That high keeping itself south and a lot of those coming together and Florida right in the cross hairs.
