[post_thumbnail]The latest forecast on Tropical Storm Dorian shows the system strengthening and potentially hitting the east coast of Florida as a Category 2 hurricane, according to WESH.
Dorian is expected to make landfall in Puerto Rico today (Aug. 28), bringing dangerous rains to the island still reeling from 2017’s Hurricane Maria.
By Friday evening, the storm is forecast to strengthen into a Category 1 hurricane as it tracks east of the Bahamas. It could reach Category 2 status when it makes landfall on the east coast of Florida early Monday, the National Hurricane Center said.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis urged residents to start preparing for Dorian to come their way.
“Based on the current track of Tropical Storm Dorian, all residents on the East Coast should prepare for impacts, including strong winds, heavy rain and flooding. Make sure to have your supplies ready and follow @FLSERT [Florida Division of Emergency Management] and local media for the latest updates on the forecast,” DeSantis said.
