Hurricane Warnings Issued for Parts of the East Coast of Florida

Hurricane warnings have been issued for parts of the East Coast of Florida this afternoon in anticipation that a larger, stronger Hurricane Dorian could brush the coast with hurricane-force winds as it turns to the north.

Based on the current NHC track forecast, tropical storm-force winds are expected to reach the coast Monday morning. They will be spreading northward along the entire Florida coast and across the coasts of Georgia, South Carolina, and North Carolina through Wednesday.

We have to remember that even a small wobble to the west in the actual track could bring hurricane-force winds to a large part of the Florida Coast.
