Hurricane Dorian Expected Landfall In North Carolina And Watches Up To Virginia

Severe Weather
Tropics
Warnings

Wednesday September 4 2019

Hurricane Dorian is maintaining its strength with 105 mph winds. As it runs along Florida, it is edging closer to the Carolina coast. The storm continues to spread the winds over a larger area. The latest guidance suggests the eye may clip Charleston, SC and cross eastern North Carolin. This brings stronger rain, higher waves, and rain farther north. I am working on the local wind and wave forecast maps for my next update.

The northern clouds have reached Ocean City and the beaches up to Delaware will see the effects peak on Friday. This is what we expected, but it might be a little more intense for a few hours there Friday.

Forecast Track

A Hurricane Warning AND Storm Surge Warning has been expanded to the North Carolina and Virginia border.

A Tropical Storm Watch and Surge Watch is up to Chincotegue, VA. But Ocean City can expect wind gusts to 55 mph and possible tornadoes with outer bands. There maybe an extension of the watches farther north later today.

Morning Local Wind And Wave Maps
  • The slower movement has delayed this until later on Friday.
  • Hurricane Dorian should move away from North Carolina, but make its closest pass to Ocean City, MD on Friday evening
  • Winds: Initially it will push from the south, but change to the north as the storm gets closer. This will help lower water out of the Bay, but hammer beaches.
  • Tropical Storm winds with gusts to 55 mph for Ocean City
