Hurricane Dorian Radar-Satellite Loop Aug 29-Sept 7, 2019

Dorian developed from a tropical wave on August 24 in the Central Atlantic. The system gradually intensified while moving toward the Lesser Antilles, before becoming a hurricane on August 28. Rapid intensification ensued, and on August 31, Dorian intensified into a Category 4 major hurricane. On the following day, Dorian reached Category 5 intensity, peaking with one-minute sustained winds of 185 mph (295 km/h) and a minimum central pressure of 910 millibars (26.87 inHg) while making landfall in Elbow Cay, just east of Abaco Island, Bahamas, September 1st at 16:40 UTC. Dorian made another landfall on Grand Bahama several hours later, near the same intensity.

The ridge of high pressure steering Dorian westward collapsed on September 2, causing Dorian to stall just north of Grand Bahama for about a day. It is the strongest known tropical system to impact the Bahamas. Shortly after, a combination of cold water upwelling and an eyewall replacement cycle weakened Dorian to a Category 2 hurricane by the next day.

On the morning of September 3, Dorian began to move slowly towards the north-northwest. Dorian completed its eyewall replacement cycle and moved over warmer waters off the Florida east coast, regaining Category 3 intensity by midnight on September 5. In the early hours of September 6, Dorian weakened to Category 1 intensity as it picked up speed and turned northeast. At 12:35 UTC on September 6, Dorian made landfall in the U.S. at Cape Hatteras, North Carolina. Dorian then began to fluctuate in intensity between Category 1 and 2 as it sped northeastward toward Nova Scotia and transitioned into a post-tropical cyclone. It became post-tropical on the morning of September 7, making landfall on Nova Scotia at 22:15 UTC later that day with 100 mph (160 km/h) winds.
