These were the clouds this morning as we began the day waiting for TS Dorian. Overnight, the predicted track changed for going south then west of us through the Mona Passage to going right across the island, aiming right at us. By this afternoon, when Dorian should have made landfall, the track had shifted again farther east and north. Dorian just clipped the very eastern edge of the island. The eye is now north and east of San Juan, almost due north of Fajardo. There is still some lingering light rain and we could get a little rain later tonight as Dorian spins but we're pretty much out of danger.
Whew! Dodged another one!
Dorian appears to have intensified into a Cat 1 hurricane just as it passed Puerto Rico. Now it looks like it's on the Bahamas Express and is forecast to be a Cat 3 when a passes over the Bahamas on its way to Florida. It could even cross Florida into the Gulf of Mexico and threaten the Gulf coast.
This is sunset tonight at the end of what was supposed to be a hurricane day:
Those of you still in Dorian's path in the Bahamas and Florida, please be safe.
