DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">
----------------------<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">
<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New";color:black">At 1100 AM EDT (1500 UTC), the eye of Hurricane Dorian was located near latitude 27.1 North, longitude 78.6 West. Dorian is moving toward the
northwest near 2 mph (4 km/h), and a slightly<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">
<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New";color:black">faster motion toward the northwest or north-northwest is expected later today and tonight. A turn toward the north is forecast by Wednesday
evening, followed by a turn toward the north-northeast Thursday morning. On this track, the core of extremely dangerous Hurricane Dorian will gradually move north of Grand Bahama Island through this evening.
The hurricane will then move dangerously close to the Florida east coast late today through Wednesday evening, very near the Georgia and South Carolina coasts Wednesday night and Thursday, and near or over
the North Carolina coast late Thursday and Thursday night.<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">
<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">
<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New";color:black">Data from reconnaissance aircraft indicate that the maximum sustained winds are near 110 mph (175 km/h) with higher gusts. Dorian is expected
to remain a powerful hurricane during the next<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">
couple of days.<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">
<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">
<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New";color:black">Data from aircraft and buoys indicate that the hurricane is growing in size. Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 60 miles (95 km) from
the center and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 175 miles (280 km).<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">
<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">
The latest minimum central pressure based on data from Air Force Reserve and NOAA reconnaissance aircraft is 955 mb (28.20 inches).<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">

HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">
----------------------<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">
WIND: Tropical storm and hurricane conditions will continue on Grand Bahama Island through tonight.<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">
<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">
Hurricane conditions are expected within the Hurricane Warning area in Florida by this evening.<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New";color:black">
Hurricane conditions are possible in the Hurricane Watch area as early as Wednesday and could spread northward within the watch through Thursday.<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">
<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">
<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New";color:black">In South Florida, tropical storm conditions are expected within the Tropical Storm Warning area through today.
Along the coast of northeastern Florida and Georgia, tropical storm conditions are expected within the Tropical Storm Warning area on Wednesday.<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">
<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">
<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New";color:black">STORM SURGE: A life-threatening storm surge will raise water levels by as much as 10 to 15 feet above normal tide levels in areas of onshore
winds on Grand Bahama Island. Near the coast, the surge will be accompanied by large and destructive waves. Water levels should very slowly subside on the Abaco Islands today.<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">
<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">
<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New";color:black">The combination of a dangerous storm surge and the tide will cause normally dry areas near the coast to be flooded by rising waters moving inland

<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New";color:black">Water levels could begin to rise well in advance of the arrival of strong winds. The surge will be accompanied by large and destructive waves.
Surge-related flooding depends on the how close<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">

<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">
<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New";color:black">SURF: Large swells are affecting the northwestern Bahamas, the Florida east coast, and the coast of Georgia. These swells are expected to
spread northward along much of the remainder of the<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">
<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New";color:black">southeastern United States coast during the next couple of days. These swells are likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions.
Please consult products from your local weather office.<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">
<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">
<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New";color:black;background:yellow;mso-highlight:yellow">TORNADOES: A tornado or two are possible near the immediate east coast of Florida through tonight.
