At 5 pm, Dorian was located near 25.0 North, 70.7 West, about 420 miles east of the northwest Bahamas. Maximum sustained winds were 115 miles per hour. Dorian was moving west-northwest at 9 miles per hour.Dorian’s track remains quite uncertain 4 to 5 days out, but the latest model runs indicate that a turn to the north could occur near the Florida east coast, rather than well inland on the peninsula. The National Hurricane Center’s forecast track has been adjusted slightly, and we’ll watch very closely to see if this is a trend.
Here in South Florida, we need to focus on getting all hurricane preparations done on Saturday, including putting up shutters. No watches or warnings have been issued for South Florida yet, but expect to see them this weekend. At that time, evacuation orders will be issued if necessary.
The bottom line — all of South Florida can expect the arrival of tropical storm force winds on Sunday, and we’ll be dealing with the effects of Dorian through Tuesday.
Stay informed and be safe.
