DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">
----------------------<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">
At 500 AM EDT (0900 UTC), the eye of Hurricane Dorian was located<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">
near latitude 31.7 North, longitude 79.5 West. Dorian is moving<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">
toward the north near 8 mph (13 km/h). A turn to the north-<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">
northeast is anticipated today, with a turn toward the northeast by<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">
tonight. A northeastward motion at a faster forward speed is<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">
<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New";color:black">forecast on Friday.
On the forecast track, the center of Dorian<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New";background:yellow;mso-highlight:yellow">
will continue to move close to the coast of South Carolina through<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New";background:yellow;mso-highlight:yellow">
the day, and then move near or over the coast of North Carolina<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New";background:yellow;mso-highlight:yellow">
tonight and Friday. The center should move to the southeast of<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New";background:yellow;mso-highlight:yellow">
extreme southeastern New England Friday night and Saturday morning,<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New";background:yellow;mso-highlight:yellow">
and approach Nova Scotia later on Saturday.<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">
<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">
Maximum sustained winds are near 115 mph (185 km/h) with higher<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New";background:yellow;mso-highlight:yellow">
gusts. Dorian is a category 3 hurricane<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New";color:black">
on the Saffir-Simpson<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">
Hurricane Wind Scale. Some fluctuations in intensity are expected<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">
this morning, followed by slow weakening through Saturday.<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">
However, Dorian is expected to remain a hurricane for the next few<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">
days.<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">
<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">
Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 60 miles (95 km) from the<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">
center, and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 195<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">
miles (315 km). The National Weather Service Forecast Office in<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">
Charleston, South Carolina, recently reported a wind gust to 68 mph<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">
(109 km/h) at the Charleston International Airport.<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 conditions are currently affecting portions of<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">

<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">

Tropical storm conditions are expected in the Tropical Storm<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">
Warning area in the Mid-Atlantic states by Friday, with tropical<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">
storm conditions possible in the Tropical Storm Watch area Friday<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">

southeastern Massachusetts by late Friday or early Saturday.<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">
<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">
STORM SURGE: The combination of a dangerous storm surge and the<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">
tide will cause normally dry areas near the coast to be flooded by<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">
rising waters moving inland from the shoreline. The water could<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">
reach the following heights above ground somewhere in the indicated<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">
areas if the peak surge occurs at the time of high tide...<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">
<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">
Isle of Palms to Myrtle Beach SC...5 to 8 ft<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">
Savannah River to Isle of Palms SC...4 to 7 ft<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">
Myrtle Beach SC to Cape Lookout NC...4 to 7 ft<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">
Cape Lookout NC to Duck NC, including Pamlico and Albemarle Sounds<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">

Duck NC to Poquoson VA, including Hampton Roads...2 to 4 ft<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">
<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">
Water levels could begin to rise well in advance of the arrival of<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">
strong winds. The surge will be accompanied by large and<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">
destructive waves. Surge-related flooding depends on the how close<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">
the center of Dorian comes to the coast, and can vary greatly over<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">
short distances. For information specific to your area, please see<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">

the entire southeastern United States coast from Florida through<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">
North Carolina during the next few days. These swells are<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">
likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions.<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">
Please consult products from your local weather office.<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">
<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">
