LIVE: Latest Hurricane Dorian forecast updates.
On its current track, the core of Dorian should move closer to the Florida east coast late Monday through Tuesday night, the hurricane center said.As of 11 a.m. ET, the hurricane was 205 miles east of West Palm Beach, Florida.
“The hurricane will spin close enough to lash the southeast United States Monday through Wednesday as it churns northward up the coast,” Strouss said, adding that the storm could cause major travel disruptions. "It seems to be one of the biggest hurricanes we've ever seen. And that's the problem," Trump told reporters on Sunday."We don't know where it is going to hit, but we have an idea."
“Homes, houses, structures can be replaced," Bahamas Prime Minister Hubert Minnis said Saturday."Lives cannot be replaced.”A life-threatening storm surge will raise water levels by as much as 15 to 20 feet above normal tide levels in the area, the center said.Between 12 and 24 inches of rain, and up to 30 inches in some areas, are expected in the northwestern Bahamas. That could lead to life-threatening flash floods, the center said.
“Hurricane conditions are likely to continue through Tuesday morning and possibly longer across the normal Bahamas,” said Strouss, the NBC News meteorologist.
