Thurs UPDATE #1 – Hurricane Dorian

Hurricane Dorian

At 11 am, Dorian was located near 21.4 North, 67.2 West, about 370 miles east of the southeastern Bahamas.  Dorian was moving northwest at 13 miles per hour.  Maximum sustained winds were 85 miles per hour.

There are no watches or warnings at this time.

We’ll be monitoring the track and intensity of Dorian, but don’t look for any “answers” on Thursday.  Friday will determine if Dorian undergoes rapid intensification or intensifies in a slower and steadier fashion.  Going into the weekend, we’ll watch very closely for a turn toward the west-northwest, because that will make a big difference in which parts of the Florida coast are at greatest risk.  For now, the 4-to-5-day “cone” still includes all of Florida except the western portions of the panhandle and southeastern Georgia.

Continue checking off the items on your hurricane supply list and be ready to take further action on Saturday.  And stay informed.
