Hurricane Dorian may linger after landfall. Here's why that is dangerous.
As a meteorologist, I am hoping that people will be making cliche but inaccurate statements that meteorologists are always wrong next week. Hurricane Dorian is a major life-threatening storm, and our best weather models are starting to come into consensus as the time frame to landfall shrinks.Based on the latest information from the models and observations, the state of Florida is facing a potential Category 4 hurricane in one of the most populated parts of the state.
Data from an Air Force Reserve reconnaissance aircraft indicate that maximum sustained winds have increased to near 110 mph with higher gusts. Strengthening is forecast during the next few days, and Dorian is expected to become a major hurricane later today. Dorian is likely to remain an extremely dangerous hurricane while it moves near the northwestern Bahamas and approaches the Florida peninsula through the weekend.
Position of Hurricane Doran on Wednesday morning according to the American GFS model run on Friday morning.Hurricane Harvey made landfall as a major storm in Texas in 2017 but then stalled over southeastern Texas. Multiple feet of rainfall fell in the region and forced people from their homes and businesses. In 2018, the Carolinas faced a similar fate with Hurricane Florence.
If you are anywhere in the Florida Peninsula and coastal regions of Georgia or Carolinas, you need to making plans now for this storm. Landfall is going to be bad enough, and Dorian looks as though it will linger for a while. That's not good.
