(TWC) – Hurricane Dorian is forecast to intensify into a Category 4 hurricane and pose a major danger to the southeastern U.S., especially Florida, over Labor Day weekend. Dorian’s center is about 330 miles east of the southeastern Bahamas, with maximum sustained winds of 85 mph. No hurricane watches or warnings are in effect at this time, but they will likely be issued for parts of the Bahamas and Florida in the next day or two. Below is the latest on Dorian’s timing and what we know about potential forecast impacts right now.
Dorian’s Forecast Timing
Through Friday: Dorian’s center is expected to track to the north and east of the Turks and Caicos and the southeastern Bahamas.
Saturday: Dorian will bend toward the west-northwest and potentially begin to impact the northwestern Bahamas, particularly by late in the day.
Sunday-Monday: Dorian will slow down as it approaches and begins to impact the southeastern U.S., most likely somewhere between Florida and southeastern Georgia. That said, areas as far north as the Carolinas should also monitor for potential impacts from Dorian early next week. READ MORE
