Latest Hurricane Dorian Spaghetti Models, Path [Sept. 2]

As Hurricane Dorian chugs toward the Florida coast, there’s increased hope that the state might be spared the worst brunt of the storm. Latest models show that the storm may turn north just in time, sparing the coast and turning north out in the Atlantic. However, a lot remains uncertain.

(Note: See our Sept. 3 update here. Hurricane Dorian was stalled over the Bahamas.)

Spaghetti models are a good way to track the storm. Here is a listing of the best sites to find the latest spaghetti models for Hurricane Dorian’s path. According to CNN, it’s important to look at the closeness of the strands in spaghetti plots because “the more they are clustered together, the higher the confidence in the forecast.”

“At 200 PM EDT (1800 UTC), the eye of Hurricane Dorian was located near latitude 26.8 North, longitude 78.4 West. Dorian is moving very slowly toward the west-northwest near 1 mph (2 km/h),” the National Hurricane Center reported on Labor Day. “A slow westward to west-northwestward motion is forecast during the next day or so, followed by a gradual turn toward the northwest and north. On this track, the core of extremely dangerous Hurricane Dorian will continue to pound Grand Bahama Island through much of today and tonight. The hurricane will then move dangerously close to the Florida east coast late tonight through Wednesday evening and then move dangerously close to the Georgia and South Carolina coasts on Wednesday night and Thursday.” You can follow the National Hurricane Center’s Dorian page here.
