Improvement in our weather pattern underway as Dorian pushes Northward, parallel to the Florida Northeast Coast. Some of the outer bands could work into the area producing a few spotty storms throughout the day. Rain chances much lower today as drier air ushers into the region. Breezy steamy winds out of the Southwest to continue through Friday.
King tides still present, so Coastal Flood Advisory will remain in effect through Thursday morning.
Some drier air is ushering into South Florida with breezy Southwest winds. However, spotty storms likely to form this afternoon. Highs around 90. Showers possible for the #FloridaKeys tonight. @wsvn @7weather #flwx #miami #ftlauderdale pic.twitter.com/UccZV6KAZK

Tracking Dorian
On the forecast track, it will continue to produce tropical storm conditions along the Northeast Florida Coast through Wednesday afternoon. By Thursday into Friday, Dorian could directly impact South or North Carolina as a weaker hurricane. If the front forecast to build into the Eastern seaboard is strong enough, the center would remain offshore. Plenty of heavy rain (totals of 6-15 inches), storm surge flooding and strong winds possible for the Southeast states.
