Ray is reporting on a developing situation.
A developing situation is one that is in progress.
in progress: A "developing situation" is one that is "ongoing", "in progress" or "evolving". The expression indicates the time frame of an event and doesn't describe anything more (the improvement or deterioration of a situation, for example).
improving: An "improving" situation is "getting better". The idiom Moira uses, "a developing situation", only describes the time frame of the event. There is no judgment upon the state of the event.
getting worse: The idiom Moira uses, "a developing situation", only describes the time frame of the event. There is no judgment upon the state of the event, so it would be unfair to say that the situation is getting worse (or deteriorating).
extremely serious: The idiom Moira uses, "a developing situation", only describes the time frame of the event. There is no judgment upon the state of the event, so it would be unfair to say that the situation is extremely serious.
