Hurricane Dorian

Synopsis & Timing

Hurricane Dorian threatens coastal areas of northeast Florida Tuesday Wednesday and coastal areas of southeast Georgia Wednesday-Wednesday Night.

• Hurricane Watch and Storm Surge Watch have been issued for the
  entire northeast Florida coastline, with a Tropical Storm Watch for areas inland of the Hurricane Watch.
• The watches may be extended northward to the Southeast Georgia coast later Today.
• The latest forecast keeps the track of Dorian east of northeast FL coast, but the expected expanding storm size could bring tropical storm or hurricane-force winds or wind gusts to the coastline.
• High Surf Advisory along the coast…for 7-10ft waves Today, 10-20ft waves Tuesday-Wednesday.
• Latest guidance yields increasing confidence in a forecast track for Dorian northward 50- 75 miles east of the FL East Coast.
• Although offshore, Dorian would still yield a threat of very strong winds and some storm surge along the coastline.
• Some uncertainty still exists in the track the storm takes. Any westward shift back near or over the FL peninsula would yield severe impacts for the area.
