Good Friday, everyone. Our long Labor Day Weekend is kicking off with a weak cold front approaching the state from the north. This boundary will try to hang around into the next few days, but the big weather story is Hurricane Dorian. This storm is becoming another monster and has a chance to influence our weather.

Let’s begin with today and roll forward. Temps are in the 80s with a mix of sun and clouds. Those clouds may be thicker across the north as this front near. It could also spit out a shower or storm late today into the evening…

This boundary slips a littler farther south on Saturday, bringing that small chance for a shower or storm with it and that looks to continue through Labor Day…

The big weather story is Hurricane Dorian that continues to churn toward the Bahamas and Florida. This storm is growing into a monster…

With high pressure building to the north of Dorian, this storm will start to bend more west over the next few days. Here’s the latest from the National Hurricane Center…

This storm reminds me a lot of Hurricane Andrew from 1992. I’m not saying it gets quite to that level or gets as far west as Andrew did, but it looks may look the part as it approaches Florida.

Here are the latest Hurricane Model forecasts…

The latest operational models are of similar thinking with this powerful storm turning more north once into Florida, then working along the southeastern seaboard…

The post-landfall track is still very much up in the air, but the track toward Florida isn’t. That’s just a very unsettling look, folks.

Make it a great day and take care.
