...NOAA HURRICANE HUNTER RECONNAISSANCE PLANE FINDS DORIAN STRONGER AND MOVING WESTWARD...

A Hurricane Warning continues for the Northwest Bahamas excluding Andros Island. A Hurricane Watch continues for Andros Island. Hurricane conditions are expected in the hurricane warning area across the northwestern Bahamas by Sunday, with tropical storm winds beginning tonight.

Interests in South and Central Florida should monitor the progress of Dorian. Watches may be required for portions of the east coast of Florida later today.

Hurricane Dorian is centered as of 8 a.m. AST/EDT about 445 miles (715 km) east of West Palm Beach, Florida. Dorian is now moving toward the west near 12 mph (19 km/h). A slower westward motion should continue into early next week. On this track, the core of Dorian should move over the Atlantic well north of the southeastern and central Bahamas today, be near or over the northwestern Bahamas on Sunday, and be near the Florida east coast late Monday.

Data from a NOAA Hurricane Hunter plane indicate that the maximum sustained winds have increased to near 145 mph (225 km/h) with higher gusts. Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 30 miles (45 km) from the center and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 105 miles (165 km).
Dorian is a category 4 hurricane on the Saffir- Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale. While some fluctuations in intensity are possible, but Dorian is expected to remain a powerful hurricane during the next few days.

A life-threatening storm surge will raise water levels by as much as 10 to 15 feet above normal tide levels in areas of onshore winds in the Northwest Bahamas. Near the coast, the surge will be accompanied by large and destructive waves.

Dorian is expected to produce the following rainfall accumulations this weekend into the middle of next week:
Northwest Bahamas...10 to 15 inches, isolated 25 inches.
Coastal sections of the southeast United States...6 to 12 inches, isolated 18 inches.
Central Bahamas...2 to 4 inches, isolated 6 inches.
This rainfall may cause life-threatening flash floods.

The next complete advisory will be issued by NHC at 11 a.m. AST/EDT - www.hurricanes.gov ... See MoreSee Less

#HurricaneDorianKeep an eye on Hurricane Dorian and follow your local National Weather Service office throughout the holiday weekend for the latest forecast for your area. The landfall is only the beginning of the event.

Some of the worst, and historic, flooding Virginia has experienced were from hurricanes, e.g. Camille and Gaston, that made landfall as a hurricane several states away and arrived in Virginia as a tropical storm or tropical depression. Please stay informed and stay prepared.

It's important to remain prepared throughout the Atlantic hurricane season: keep your gas tank at least half full in the event of regional power outages or fuel supply shortages, have an emergency plan and emergency supplies to sustain your family before, during and after a disaster. For more information, visit VAemergency.gov/emergency-kit, KnowYourZoneVA.org (coastal Virginians) and VAemergency.gov/hurricanes (all Virginians). ... See MoreSee Less
