Discussion
Tropical Storm Dorian has held steady in the overnight hours in terms of intensity as it continues to move on a west-to-northwest track. The latest max sustained winds have been measured at 50 mph and the system will encounter some dry air over the Caribbean over the next couple of days. The current track will take Dorian to near Puerto Rico and Hispaniola later in the week and an encounter with rugged terrain could weaken the tropical system. However, once TS Dorian passes by those islands, it is likely to head on a track to the northwest and this will take it to the Bahamas and perhaps ultimately to Florida over the upcoming holiday weekend.
