ORLANDO, Fla. — After days of tracking Dorian, we still have remnants in the form of a thin veil of clouds over Central Florida. 

The west-southwest flow brought us a hot day even with clouds around. Highs topped the low to mid-90s, and feels like temps climbed above 100.

We’ll remain in a southwest flow around departing Dorian Friday through Sunday, and this flow will keep the sea breezes from developing.

Drier air in the mid and upper atmosphere combined with our flow are set to heat us into the low to mid-90s the next several days. As a ridge of high pressure builds over the peninsula, moisture increases in the flow and the east coast sea breeze develops once again.

This will bring us a very low 20-percent rain coverage Monday through Wednesday with highs in the upper 80s to lower 90s.

In the tropics, Dorian has been lashing out at the eastern Carolinas, producing tornadoes, damaging wind gusts, and flooding rain. Dorian is moving northeast and should be pushing away from the United States Friday while weakening. We are also watching Gabrielle well out in the Atlantic, as well as three other disturbances with a chance for tropical development. No threat to Florida at this time.

Beach and Surf Conditions

Ocean conditions are gradually improving as Hurricane Dorian makes its way up the eastern seaboard. We are still in a high rip current threat thanks to a long period swell coming down the coast.

If you’re planning a swim in the mid-80 degree sea surface temps, stay close to the shore and within sight of a lifeguard. May want to avoid wading to far into the surf zone.

Unfortunately for surfers, traces of swell and wave heights of only one to two feet will create very poor surfing conditions.

Tropical Update

In the tropics, we are watching Dorian approach the Carolinas on Thursday.

There are a few other systems in the open waters of the Atlantic, but there are no further threats to Florida at this time.

Hurricane season runs through November 30.
