Dorian's Forecast Timing
Tuesday: Dorian will still be hammering the
northwestern Bahamas, but conditions should slowly improve by Tuesday evening as Dorian finally begins to move north. Bands of rain and strong winds will affect
parts of Florida. Hurricane-force winds (74-plus mph) are expected in the hurricane warning area of
eastern Florida by evening. Coastal flooding will spread northward along the
Florida, Georgia and South Carolina coasts.
Wednesday: Dorian is expected to move north, then northeastward near the coasts of
northeastern Florida, Georgia and southern South Carolina. Storm-surge flooding, beach erosion and damaging winds are all possible in these areas, particularly in areas covered by storm surge and hurricane warnings. Rainfall flooding is also a threat.
Thursday: Dorian is expected to pass near the
coasts of northeastern South Carolina and North Carolina.
A landfall is possible anywhere in this zone, which would bring the most damaging winds and storm-surge flooding. However, these impacts will also occur even if Dorian's center does not make a landfall. Heavy rain will also lead to flooding in this area. Some impacts from wind, coastal flooding and rainfall flooding
could spread as far north as the Virginia Tidewater and the southern Delmarva Peninsula late Thursday.
Friday-Saturday: Dorian is then expected to race off the Northeast Seaboard but could track close enough to bring rain and some wind to the
Virginia Tidewater, Delmarva Peninsula, Jersey Shore, Long Island, Nantucket, Martha's Vineyard and Cape Cod before it heads toward the
Canadian Maritimes by this weekend.
