Tropical Storm Dorian has just been upgraded to Hurricane Dorian as it's winds have surpassed 75 mph. The NHC are projecting it to become a major hurricane before landfall in Florida, will be watching this and posting anything interesting about it in here.

Models are mostly pointing to Hurricane Dorian being a strong Category 3 or a Category 4 at landfill, this is going to be a very strong storm.

Hurricane Dorian now has a clean, well defined eye

Hurricane Dorian has unexpectedly undergone rapid intensification and is now a Category 4 hurricane, most models have it having some impact on the Florida coast and all have it making a direct impact on Great Abaco, the forecast this far out is still iffy but it's not a good situation

The boiling effect is caused by the updrafts of very strong thunderstorms

A very odd turn of events for the model tracks now showing the possibility of landfall in south carolina or even georgia.

Keep in mind if the storm moves 1 mph slower than the NHC is predicting, it makes it's turn north 48 miles further east, and out at sea, than the current track. However, the same holds true if it's faster, which will then put it 48 miles further west and it will go up the entire peninsula. The forecast is really touch and go for the mainland US, but unfortunately it seems no matter what, the Bahamas are going to be taking a direct hit from a very powerful Category 4 hurricane, not good news at all.

Dorian has been upgraded to the highest category of hurricanes, Category 5 and is looking like it will hit the northern bahamas at peak intensity and slow down considerably, lingering around the islands for 36 hours, this is catastrophic.

At this point we can only hope that the eyewall misses the more densely populated areas of the islands.
