Hurricane Dorian’s center is moving parallel to Florida’s northeastern coast as its outer bands threaten the Sunshine State with torrential rains and tropical storm-force winds.
The storm’s maximum sustained winds Wednesday morning are near 105mph, making it a Category 2 storm.
Dorian is centered about 95 miles east-northeast of Daytona Beach, Florida, and is moving about 8mph, just a day after it devastated the Bahamas.
The storm is expected to produce 5 to 10 inches of rain in the Coastal Carolinas, 3 to 6 inches along the Atlantic Coast from Daytona Beach, Florida to the Georgia-South Carolina line and 3 to 6 inches in southeast Virginia.
There are also areas in the Carolinas that may get up to 15 inches of rain and parts of Georgia may receive 9 inches.
‘This rainfall may cause life-threatening flash floods,’ the National Hurricane Center (NHC) warned Wednesday morning.
