<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New";color:black">At 800 AM EDT (1200 UTC), the center of Hurricane Dorian was located near latitude 35.2 North, longitude 75.7 West. Dorian is moving toward the northeast near 14 mph (22 km/h) and this general motion with an increase in forward speed is expected through Saturday.  On the forecast track, the center of Dorian will move near or over the coast of North Carolina during the next few hours.  The center should move to the southeast of extreme southeastern New England tonight and Saturday morning, and then across Nova Scotia late Saturday or Saturday 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">Maximum sustained winds are near 90 mph (150 km/h) with higher gusts.  Dorian should remain a powerful hurricane as it moves near or along the coast of North Carolina during the next few hours.<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">

Dorian is forecast to become a post-tropical cyclone with hurricane-force winds by Saturday night as it approaches Nova Scotia.<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">Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 45 miles (75 km) from the center and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 220 miles (350 km).  A Weatherflow station at Buxton, North Carolina, recently reported a sustained wind of 67 mph (107 km/h) and a gust to 85 mph (145 km/h).<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 estimated minimum central pressure based on data from the Air Force Hurricane Hunters and surface observations is 956 mb (28.23 inches).  An automated station in Ocracoke recently reported a pressure of 960.4 mb (28.36 inches).<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:  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 from the shoreline.  The water could reach the following heights above ground somewhere in the indicated areas if the peak surge occurs at the time of high tide...<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">
