GREENSBORO, N.C. — Hurricane Dorian is getting stronger, and is eyeing the United States this weekend. Florida is on high alert. Here in the Carolinas, we're just watching - for now. Even if Dorian remains to our south, the Carolians may experience ruff seas and possible rip currents.over the Labor Day weekend.
TRACKING DORIAN
Dorian is moving through the Atlantic again, leaving the Caribbean behind. Up next is a lot of open water over the next several days.
It's possible, even likely, that Dorian will intensify into a major hurricane over the Bahamas by Friday and into the weekend. That's when we need to watch more carefully.
The most likely destination for Dorian is to hit Florida over the weekend, but even here in the Carolinas we should be paying attention. If the storm took more of a northerly turn, it could head directly toward northern Florida, Georgia or the Carolinas by early next week.
Right now, it's far too early to have any good idea of if this system will eventually affect our area in some shape or form next week. We'll watch this system carefully, and keep you updated as necessary.
