Tropical weather forecast & Dorian update: August 31, 2019

 

Hurricane Dorian continued its slow trek towards Florida on Saturday, where forecasters were growing increasingly confident that powerful storm will turn to the north – possibly keeping the worst weather offshore entirely. As of the Saturday morning update, Dorian’s winds were up to 140 mph. The storm was about 470 miles east of West Palm Beach, heading west at 12 mph. Meteorologists say there is good agreement in the forecast models that the storm will keep heading west-northwest for about 48 hours until it’s near the Bahamas, but that’s when the uncertainty begins.
