Hurricane Dorian is creeping at one mile per hour to the west-northwest, pounding the northern Bahamas with sustained winds as high as 150 miles per hour, and gusts that are even higher.
"A slow westward to west-northwestward motion is forecast during the next day or so, followed by a gradual turn toward the northwest and north," said Senior Hurricane Specialist Daniel Brown in the National Hurricane Center's 1:00 p.m. update. "On this track, the core of extremely dangerous Hurricane Dorian will continue to pound Grand Bahama Island through much of today and tonight."
Forecasters say Dorian will move "dangerously close" to Florida late tonight through Wednesday, then will approach the coasts of Georgia and South Carolina Wednesday night through Thursday.
