Discussion
Hurricane Dorian is now about 90 miles east of Daytona Beach, Florida moving to the NNW at 8 mph with max sustained winds at 105 mph (category 2). It will parallel the northeast coastline of Florida today and then move towards the coastlines of Georgia and the Carolinas. By later tomorrow, Hurricane Dorian will head right over the Outer Banks of North Carolina and will begin to be influenced by an upper-level trough of low pressure pushing southeast across the Great Lakes. As a result, Hurricane Dorian will begin to accelerate to the northeast and should slide well east of the Mid-Atlantic region late tomorrow night and Friday. Much cooler air will arrive here tomorrow following possible strong-to-severe thunderstorms later today and tonight and the pleasant air mass will stick around for the upcoming weekend.
