The UKMO has shifted the track of Dorian further east, so now it doesn't make it to the west coast of Florida anymore.

The GFS has shifted further north as the hurricane looks deeper.

I think it is still possible for Dorian to shift northwards before properly making landfall to Florida. This is because there is no solid high pressure to the north and the hurricane is deepening at the same time. A hurricane did the same thing 2-3 years ago, I can't remember the name now.

Can't wait for the UKMO spagetti plot. Makes landfall in Palm Beach at 938mb (that normally correlates to something close to cat 5) but after about 24 hours ravaging Florida it goes back over water and starts to intensify.

When plotted it looks similar to the ec , it leaves Miami more alone. But an extreme hurricane up the East coast is looking likely. Nice hot circle around the eye. 

Yeah, it's the first proper UKMO to stop it heading into the Gulf. It has however stuck with Palm Beach on just about every run the past 48 hours. 

A massive win if Dorian ends up there.

How typical that I'm going to Florida during the week the strongest storm in decades hit. Originally was going to land on Wednesday night from Vegas but looks like I might be staying a bit longer and delaying my arrival into Miami until later in the week, in case of flooding and power outages etc.

A few images. 

A much more symmetrical looking Dorian. Dual channels formed. 

Ohc. Ocean heat content. The amount of fuel available for Dorian. It looks like the fuel is only going to get more more potent particularly in the approach to Florida. 

Also important for a stalling system, which is what Dorian is expected to do as it gets closer to Florida. Is the depth of the fuel. This looks increasing bad as well 

there is just not much to prevent Dorian from going from bad to worse. As much I try and look.

So what's likely to cause a sudden change in direction as suggested in the following forecast image. It seems severe by the look of that, understanding the nature of "right turn Clyde" nature of hurricanes..

Not surprised to see the ECM shifting the track further east. At this stage it can easily spare Florida and just move north as a fish.

Worst cases are, it crosses into the GOM or follows the track above but further east, keeping the eye out at sea whilst the Western half buzz saws up the coast.

I think the GOM scenario has come and gone.

My issue with the ec is that it stalls him a bit too much. Imo. Hence the weakness etc etc 

I still think it will be just offshore Florida and into the Carolinas. However a glancing blow to land is still very possible. 

 

In appearance he is starting to get the saw like shape of a  mid cat 4. 

Dvorak supports a cat 4 (just) and the eye is looking incredible in any view. 

Nhc update at 10pm have upped him to a cat 3. Due to no recon for ages. A bit conservative imo.

Dorian at the moment looks like stalling to 5mph as it touches florida coast meaning up to locally 30 inches of rain in certain areas whilst moving northeast along the east coast. MAJOR NEWS I PREDICT.

The 18z gfs has also edged towards the ECM. The high pressure to the north of the hurricane vanishes after the weekend and opens the door for Dorian to move north/northeast

The NHC confirmed it is a Cat 3 "Maximum sustained winds are near 115 mph (185 km/h) with higher gusts. Dorian is a category 3 hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale."  https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/text/refresh/MIATCPAT5+shtml/302049.shtml? They have the info.
