Good morning. Hurricane Dorian continued to strengthen overnight and now is about to lay devastation on the northern Bahama islands. Winds are currently sustained at 160 mph in the core with gusts that are even higher. You can see the tight wound up core of this storm from the loop above. The dark red and brown colors indicate explosive convection (thunderstorms).The symmetry is incredible.
The storm is forecast to linger over northern Bahamas next 24 to 30 hours...this will be a disaster
Models then all turn this north before landfall in Florida. This is still way too close for comfort though...
At this time I would be on high alert for areas on the coast of North and South Carolina.
Although the storm will weaken from a cat 5 as it makes its turn north, there can still be some major impacts for coastal areas of the east coast. We can not pinpoint yet the exact details until the storm makes it turn north in a few days.
All we can hope is it take the more outside track and there are limited impacts to the United States. Regardless, the northern Bahamas are about to see what could be the worst hurricane to ever hit them. Lets hope its not as bad as feared.
More to come.
