Hurricane Hurricane Dorian

I think it pulled in a little dry air in the mid and upper levels.

it does look that way and now expanding cloud tops on the eastern side rotating around, it may wobble more west.

It’s currently east of where it was supposed to be based on previous guidance. It put on the brakes a little early.

Freeport looks to still be in the western eyewall so northwesterly flow of strong category four intensity is no doubt shoving water past the airport and into the city at a scary rate

Recon finding pressures near 940 and cat 3 surface winds; EWRC and dry air did a number on it apparently. Being technically over land surely didnt help either.

Terrifying.

 

[Jason Ledbetter]

That is unbelievable!!!!

 

[Kory]

I think you run out of adjectives...like unprecedented. Catastrophic. Disasterous. I am still in shock at how badly they are getting hit.

Damage in Hope Town, Elbow Cay.

Dorian seems to have become better organized again over the past few hours, he's now pushing some really cold cloud tops in his southern eyewall area, and Dvorak ADT reflects this improvement.

With the eye now back over water, I'm concerned that Dorian will quickly expell any dry air he ingested, continue to re-organize, and complete the EWRC he seems to have been undergoing. If he does that, the SSTs are definitely conducive to fairly significant re-strengthening. I believe the next 4-6 hours should give us some idea of whether or not this will occur.

I want to wait for another few Archer positioning passes to come in, but I'm pretty sure we just saw Dorian make some wobbles to the South and West. Will be interesting to see what that means as recently Dorian doesn't seem to be wanting to follow his forecasted track.

It’s just doing what it was doing last night as there were wobbles to the south and west. I do expect a move to get underway to the northwest tonight.

It's wobbling all over.

Dorian was forecasted to clear Grand Bahama Island to the west, but has not and has consistently remained east of the forecast envelope as of the last 24-48 hours.. Good news for Florida and parts of the East Coast. Bad news for those poor folks.

 

[Evan]

Dorian developing a much larger eye. I believe that could pull him west and finally clear Grand Bahama as was forecast.

The death toll from Dorian is at 5.

At least five die in Bahamas as Hurricane Dorian lashes islands

Parts of the northern Bahamas were in the midst of a “historic tragedy," Prime Minister Hubert Minnis said.

Everything....gone. Good lord.

There is a graphic photo on the link provided....just a heads up. Summary of this post, there will be a rise in casualties. Likely a significant jump.
