The small-scale uncertainty in Matthew's track does not affect the larger-scale picture, which includes: -Winds of tropical storm strength (40 - 75 mph) across the eastern half of the Florida peninsula from Lake Okeechobee northward, including Orlando. -Rainfall totals of 5" to 15" within 50 miles of the coast from central Florida to southern North Carolina. Rainfall of 3" - 6" could extend further north across eastern North Carolina. Falling atop ground saturated by recent rains, this could produce widespread flooding far north of Matthew's center and will raise the risk of power outages (see Figure 4 below), as gusty winds bring down trees in soggy soil.
