Monday Labor Day September 2 2019
This morning I want to address out local weather along with Hurricane Dorian. The hurricane is nearly stalled in the Bahamas. It still has 165 mph and is moving at 1 mph across Grand Bahama Island. The satellite loop below shows what may be the wobble and hint at the turn to the north. It’s this slow movement and question where it turns that will determine how close it gets to the US coast. Evacuations are in place or planned from Florida to North Carolina as we will deal with this storm through Friday. The northern edge may reach Maryland.
Hurricane Dorian Stats
- Hurricane Force Winds reach 45 mph from the center
- Tropical Storm Force Winds reach 140 miles away
- Center is 120 miles east of West Palm Beach Florida
- Nearly stalled with movement to the west at 1 mph
Here is the latest Dorian satellite. The loop and forecast details are below our local weather:

Visible Satellite And Morning Shadows
Morning Visible Satellite:
Look closely at the eye: The sun is on the right/east and casting a shadow (dark) from the tall clouds from the eye wall into the eye, while clear above, and sun is hitting the clouds (brighter) on the western/left eye wall.
Hurricane Dorian is one of the strongest landfalling hurricanes on record and continues to hammer The Bahamas with Category 5 conditions. This will be completely devastating when we see the results. The storm has winds of 165 mph and is crawling at 1 mph. When and where it starts to turn north will help us understand how close to the US this gets. Tropical Storm force winds are already reaching parts of Florida. This storm will get larger in size as it moves north and weakens a little.
