Tropical Storm Fernand formed in the southwestern Gulf of Mexico from a surface low pressure area. Movement is west northwest and will not be affecting the USA. This will be our only mention of Named Storm Fernand.
Hurricane Dorian has finally started to move northwest after being stalled for nearly two days. Unfortunately, the northern Bahamas as been catastrophically affected with many lives lost.
Hurricane Dorian today is a Cat 2 and the NHC track projections will bring it close to the Georgia, South Carolina and North Carolina coastal areas over the next 4 to 6 days. Persons in these coastal areas are already under many warnings and evacuation orders.
