Wednesday Update: Dorian Now Heading to East Coast

Good morning. Granted, it may be weaker than before but we still have a powerful Cat 2 hurricane that is now expected to impact coastal areas of the south. The time frame is tomorrow through Friday.

The storm is not as impressive as it was a few days ago on the satellite, but as I said it is still not something to take lightly...

Latest track takes the center just along the coast...

This should be a Cat 1/2 by then but will still pack wind gusts over 100 mph on coastline and major flooding issues especially in areas like northern GA and SC coasts. This is due to the position the storm is approaching from and how it will pile up water.

Here is the updated wind gust swath...

This has shifted west from yesterday and most models are converging on this outcome.

NHC Updated Cone...

This is not to be taken lightly. Coastal areas are going to see major impacts from this.

More to come.
