As of 0500L, Hurricane Dorian was located about 80 miles south-southeast of Charleston SC and 200 miles south-southwest of Wilmington NC moving north at 8mph, maximum sustained winds of 115mph (Category 3), and minimum central pressure of 28.26 inches. As anticipated, Dorian has briefly intensified back into Category 3 Hurricane before returning to a Category 2-intensity this afternoon. Winds are expected to remain near 100mph through the next 48 hours. The National Hurricane Center (NHC) expects Dorian to move over North Carolina's outer Banks Friday before moving off towards the northeast, and away from U.S. interests, Friday afternoon.

Fort Bragg and surrounding area forecast: Using NHC's current track guidance, we are maintaining earlier estimates of Dorian's impact to Fort Bragg and it's surrounding communities. Winds are currently less than 20mph, but will steadily increase throughout the afternoon and evening today with maximum expected wind of 30 to 50mph late this afternoon and evening before beginning to subside overnight and dropping to less than 20mph by early afternoon tomorrow. The leading edge of Dorian's rain field has already moved into the area and precipitation will continue to increase as the day progresses. Periods of heavy rain and scattered thunderstorms are expected this afternoon through evening before ending near sunrise Friday morning. 3-5 inches of rainfall throughout the event is expected with much higher amounts east of Fort Bragg and less precipitation west of post.

**Update**

As of 0500L, Hurricane Dorian was located about 115 miles east of West Palm Beach Florida (26.6N 78.2W) drifting west at only 1 mph with maximum sustained winds of 165mph (Category 5), and a minimum central pressure of 27.05 inches. Though weakened slightly from yesterday, Dorian remains an extremely dangerous storm as it comes to an almost standstill over eastern Grand Bahama Island. By early next week, the upper-level steering flow will likely cause Dorian to begin to finally move northward and pick up speed. Once turned north, Dorian is expected to move along the Florida, Georgia, South and North Carolina coastlines before moving away from the United States on Friday as a Category 1 hurricane. Storm surge and hurricane warnings remain in effect for Florida’s east coast and though none have been issued yet for Georgia and the Carolina’s, as Dorian begins to move northward this week, these will likely move accordingly.

Fort Bragg and Surrounding area forecast: Using NHC’s current forecast, Dorian is expected to move on, and along our coastline as a powerful Category 1 hurricane Thursday through Friday morning. By Friday morning, Hurricane Dorian should be north of our Latitude and no longer a direct concern as it moves rapidly north and east away from North Carolina. Though highly susceptible to NHC’s track changes, current guidance has tropical storm-force winds with rain accumulations near 10 inches along North Carolina’s coastline with Fort Bragg experiencing 2 to 4 inches and winds 20 to 40mph beginning late Wednesday night through Thursday evening with the strongest winds occurring Thursday afternoon through early evening.

Information for those in the path of the hurricane. Please be prepared!

As of 1700L (5pm), Hurricane Dorian was located about 175 miles east of West Palm Beach Florida (26.6N 77.3W) moving west at 5mph, maximum sustained winds of 185mph (Category 5), and a minimum central pressure of 26.88 inches. At its projected strongest, Dorian will gradually begin to weaken with a more rapid decrease in its winds after Tuesday. Though a weakening is anticipated, Hurricane Dorian’s slow drift, coupled with a record-breaking strength, will prolong the devastation for several days along Dorian’s path. By Tuesday, the National Hurricane Center (NHC) continues to expect Dorian to begin to turn north and remain off-shore of the United States. Though remaining off-shore, due to possible fluctuations of its forecast path and the anticipated increase in size of the hurricane, a Hurricane and Storm Surge WARNING has been issued for a portion of the Florida east coast. Beyond mid-week, Dorian is expected to continue to weaken as it moves northward along the Georgia, South and North Carolina coastline.

Fort Bragg and Surrounding area forecast: Using NHC’s current track solution, remaining off-shore, Dorian is expected to move along our coastline Thursday, with initial effects expected as early as Wednesday night. By Thursday night to Friday morning, Hurricane Dorian should be north of our Latitude, and no longer a direct concern as it moves rapidly north and east away from North Carolina. Though highly susceptible to NHC’s track changes, current guidance has tropical storm-force winds with rain accumulations near 10 inches along North Carolina’s coastline with Fort Bragg experiencing 2 to 4 inches and winds 20 to 40mph beginning Wednesday evening through Thursday.
