4 days ago, MSN indicated that Dorian would clear Charleston SC Saturday 8/31 around 8:30 a.m. --- go figure! Never saw such a slow crawling storm. This is one for the books!

from someone who i trust that is way more knowledgeable about this than i am.

storm should be moving west northwest right now according to gfs. ridge to the north might be stronger than being modeled. gfs runs at 10:30 with the new data.

@MJVentrice 9:38 p.m. EST

Here's the latest run from 18Z MPAS run. Despite the ECMWF offshore trend over the past 24 hours, our MPAS model stalls Hurricane Dorian off the Florida coast for a few hours and slowly brings it onshore.

Dropsondes and recon suggest we have a Cat 5. Probably going to see 155 mph at 10 pm.

ETA:

A holy shite dropsonde just came in. 155 kt at surface. Probably a gust but pretty certain there's enough to support 160 mph surface. I hope everyone in the northern Bahamas has left.

Lit up would be generous. Flattened may be more accurate unfortunately.

Wx Twitter is strongly suggesting a more west track than models have trended. They seem to be really cautious in saying it without saying it to not create panic. But it doesn’t sound good for Florida from KSC on north to S.C./N.C

What’s an ETA on the Bahamas? Are there any reporters there? I haven’t had it on weather channel all day.

I've been up and down 95 from Melbourne to St. Lucie yesterday and today --- and today, most people --- at least from my conversations and observations --- have "relaxed" thinking this storm isn't / wasn't going to be a threat.

Small sample --- but ...

They just started resident evacuations to shelters on Big Island today. (Why not 1 or 2 days ago?) Must be tomorrow evening or Monday a.m.
