Tropical Storm Dorian could be hurricane as it nears Puerto Rico, forecasters say

Quote
San Juan, Puerto Rico -- The National Hurricane Center issued a hurricane watch and tropical storm warning for Puerto Rico early Tuesday as Tropical Storm Dorian moved through the Windward Islands. Also early Tuesday, the Dominican Republic government issued a hurricane watch for some parts of the island and a tropical storm watch for portions of its north and south coasts.

The hurricane center, in Miami, recommended that residents of the Virgin Islands keep an eye on Dorian, as well. The center said that, as of 2 p.m. EDT Tuesday, the storm had maximum sustained winds of 50 mph and was forecast to strengthen over the next 48 hours as it moved toward Puerto Rico.

And he didn't go to the global warming meeting at G7.  That's why the hurricane is coming.  (sarc)

I hope it swamps the open-air sewer.

Live updates: Dorian strengthens to Category 1 hurricane as storms bears down on Puerto Rico

Quote
Dorian strengthened to a Category 1 hurricane as it neared Puerto Rico Wednesday afternoon.

The storm will then move north, potentially becoming a major Category 3 hurricane when it reaches Florida over the holiday weekend.

Dorian isn't forecast to make landfall in Puerto Rico, but the island may still see 10 inches of heavy rain as well as mudslides and flooding.

It looks like the powerful "windward" side of the storm is missing PR, which is probably why they are now predicting a 3 when it hits the mainland.

Wasn't there one predicted to be a 3 at landfall last year, only to collapse to barely a 1 before it hit the shore?

I think so, but this sucker was forecasted to be a depression at the 5 day point, about a day ago.

Depending on what map you look at, it appears the weather guessers are forecasting landfall in Florida anywhere from  Jacksonville to Vero Beach. 

But who knows?

The different models are still showing a wide variety of paths.

I'm getting ready for it.  Even though it will be a huge dud.

Ah!  Yes, it was.  At the time, it was "Maybe a Hurricane" if/when it hits the mainland.  It remains to be seen if it holds to the models.  I consider 2 or more to be a killer storm....Prayers for our Floridian friends (and Georgians, too.  They aren't breathing easy just yet).

That's a great idea!  Just be sure and unplug the washer....

Yesterday they had it going over land on the way to FL, now it's open sea.  Weakening vs strengthening.

That is my uninformed guess as well.  The bullet PR dodged is pointed at Florida/Georgia now.

"Better listen to him, he's Pre-Law."
"I thought he was Pre-Med?"
"Same thing."

Point of parliamentary procedure!

Bluto was pre-law all along.

The evidence: After Flounder sees the damage to his brother's car he starts sobbing, Bluto gives him a six-pack and tells him to start drinking heavily. Otter then says, "Better listen to him, Flounder, he's in pre-med."

But, the end of the movie tells us that he is now a Senator in DC. Not a doctor.

But Otter becomes a doctor. He becomes a gynecologist in California. And this is in spite of an earlier conversation at the Delta's trial.

Well understand that premise.  My point was the incredible difference in a 24 hour intensity forcast.

It is 2:18 pm, central time.  I just saw the various paths it could take and two of those paths show it crossing Florida and passing into the gulf.  Gulf waters are hotter than where it is now; I do not want it in the gulf and threatening Texas.
