Discussion

Hurricane Dorian is churning NW over the warm waters of the southwestern Atlantic and it will encounter more favorable atmospheric and oceanic conditions in coming days that can result in intensification to “major” hurricane status. There will be a strong ridge of high pressure building over the western Atlantic over the next couple of days and this will likely result in a shift from northwest-to-west and set Dorian on a path right towards the Florida Peninsula. There are some signs that the ridging to the north will weaken late in the weekend and this could lead to a last minute turn by Dorian to the northwest or north and potentially a slowing down of the storm which would raise the possibility of serious flooding near the east coast. Stay tuned.
