Hurricane Dorian

Dorian has made landfall in the Outer Banks of North Carolina, and is now accelerating out to sea, away from the U.S. East Coast. By the time the center of Dorian crosses the coast of Nova Scotia on Saturday afternoon, it will have lost its tight inner core and transition to a very large extratropical cyclone with strong tropical storm-force and hurricane-force winds that will cover a very large area.
