Dorian is no longer stalled.
8 PM EDT advisory info
As of 7 PM EDT, Dorian had max sustained winds of 110 mph, a minimum central pressure of 959 millibars, and was moving northwest at 6 mph.
Lashing east coast of Florida now
This evening, outer rain bands are now lashing the east-central Florida coast, with tropical-storm-force wind gusts being reported (see figure 1).
Track
Dorian will continue to track northwest through tomorrow, and turn north-northwest to north tomorrow night/early Thursday (see figure 2).
Later Thursday into Friday, Dorian will hook northeast.
The center of Dorian is currently forecast to pass extremely close to South Carolina and North Carolina, and a landfall can’t be ruled out.
Intensity
Dorian is forecast to maintain intensity through tomorrow, but begin to weaken by Thursday due to an increase in wind shear.
However, it should be noted that Dorian might restrengthen a bit tomorrow, as the storm will be moving away from the cooler water that got up welled.
Impacts
Dangerous winds (up to hurricane-force), a life-threatening storm surge and heavy rain will occur along portions of the Florida east coast through tomorrow, coastal Georgia tomorrow night, and South Carolina and North Carolina Thursday/Friday.
