Discussion
Tropical Storm Dorian has increased slightly in intensity over the past 24 hours and it is now headed towards Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands. The overall scituation is looking more ominous as the storm looks likely it'll avoid much interaction with Hispaniola and it has effectively battled the dry air over the Caribbean. Once it passes by the Caribbean islands, it'll move over very warm waters of the southwestern Atlantic and intensification to hurricane status is quite likely. By the weekend, we could very well be dealing with a cat 1 or 2 hurricane closing in on the east coast of Florida, but all residents from the Carolinas to Florida should stay on guard.
