At 2 pm Monday, Dorian was located near 26.8 North, 78.4 West, about 25 miles northeast of Freeport. Maximum sustained winds were 150 miles per hour, but Dorian remains an extremely dangerous category 4 hurricane. Dorian was crawling west-northwest at 1 mile per hour — and we expect a turn more to the north very early Tuesday morning.
In South Florida, watches and warnings remain unchanged from 11 am. There could be modifications after the National Hurricane Center’s 5 pm advisory.
Here in South Florida, we’ll see gusty conditions as Dorian’s outer bands bring in fast-moving showers and storms. Gusts of near-tropical storm force are possible in Miami-Dade and the southern half of Broward County. Northern Broward (especially along the coast) is likely to see fairly strong tropical storm force gusts at times. Palm Beach County can expect sustained tropical storm force winds and possibly stronger gusts at times. Dorian is expected to make its closest approach late Mondayinto the morning hours of Tuesday. Portions of South Florida could see up to 3 inches of rain from Dorian.
