Tropical Hurricane Dorian

Looks like the ukmet takes it across Hispaniola and then has a weak system nearing the tip of Fl at the end of it's run, of course this could be problematic later on in the GOM. I hate it for Haiti, our benefit comes at a high sacrifice from them

Yeah Hispaniola and Cuba are a huge help.

There's a lot for Dorian to overcome if it's ever going to be a threat though, both the GFS and Euro show an ULL the Bahamas in 48hrs or so that slides SW which probably helps turn Dorian more northerly but also more shear and why neither model really does anything with her.

And some pretty good shear in it's path to Hispaniola

Did not see the EPS posted so here you go and I'm done got to get to work but obviously all kinds of options on the table still. Also in the very short term it's looking healthy, even some lightning strikes in and around the core. Some intensification currently underway it would seem

Hate to say and know its very different setup but am I the only one getting Hugo Vibes? I hope not but anything is possible at this range.

Don't have a picture but the NAM's taking a run towards the southeast

The NAM is horrible with TC's, especially in that region... also it only goes out 84hrs so while it shows it north of the Island there is no way of knowing if it's heading OTS, SE or hooking left towards the GOM.... not trying to be critical but I'd toss the NAM for TC unless it's maybe within 48hrs of the mainland (if it ever got that close)

Is it just me or does it seem like Dorian is making a run for a hurricane? Seems the convection is finally staying together and there seems to be a fast spin at the center that is maintaining itself. Those new towers near the center should be telling.

Waiting on the 11am anxiously

This is not good. A mere extra shift to the north and it'll maintain hurricane strength the entire way I think. Hopefully we can get some recon data later.

No actual strengthening wind-wise for this advisory. From the look of it I've gotta think it'll be soon
 
A lot of systems weaken from just being in the vicinity of those mountains. Doesn’t have to hit them to disrupt the storms flow on the west side and eventually south side outflows.

Normally I would say let it keep shifting north and maybe it will turn on ots but with the way models are building the high back in off the EC, yeah that's concerning to say the least.
