While continuing to slow down, Hurricane Dorian is still a dangerous Category 4 storm looming in the Atlantic.
While Palm Beach County is now officially out of the cone of uncertainty, a tropical storm has been issued from a Deerfield Beach to Sebastian Inlet.
Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 30 miles from the center and tropical storm-force winds extend outward up to 105 miles.
The core of Dorian should move be near or over portions of the northwestern Bahamas on Sunday, and move closer to the Florida east coast late Monday through Tuesday.
While the storm will not make landfall in South Florida, as of right now, Gov. Ron DeSantis warned Floridians not to let their guard down.
“Looking at these forecasts, a bump in one direction or the other could have really significant ramifications in terms of impact,” DeSantis said at a briefing Saturday morning. “If it bumps further east, that obviously is positive. If it bumps just a little west, than you’re looking at really, really significant impacts.”
It’s important to note that even if Dorian doesn’t make landfall in Florida, the state could still be affected by “really significant storm surge” as it heads north along the East Coast.
