Latest from the National Hurricane Center:

“At 800 AM EDT (1200 UTC), the eye of Hurricane Matthew was located near latitude 28.9 North, longitude 80.3 West. Matthew is moving toward the north-northwest near 13 mph (20 km/h), and this general motion is expected to continue today. A turn toward the north is expected tonight or Saturday. On the forecast track, the center of Matthew will be moving near or over the east coast of the Florida peninsula through tonight, and near or over the coasts of Georgia and South Carolina on Saturday.”

Latest From FMIT:

For the next 24-36 hours, Matthew is expected to slowly move Northward and then Northeastward as it affects North Florida and eventually Georgia and South Carolina over the weekend.  After that time, a weakening Matthew is expected to turn slowly Southeastward and then Southward back down into the Atlantic with some potential to interact with FL later next week.  We will keep Members in proximity of the storms path updated on the status if models predict potential for interaction with FL.

Hurricane-force winds spread outward up to 60 miles (95km) from the center and tropical-storm-force winds spread outward up to 185 miles (295 km). The approximated lowest central pressure based on figures from the aircraft is 938 mb (27.70 inches).
