During its early days near Puerto Rico, Dorian’s inner-core rain rate had peaked once every 24 hours, but during the most recent two days, Dorian’s rain rate has been persistently heavy. As of Saturday, August 31, Hurricane Dorian’s (still a Category 4 storm at the time) rain field had changed. The National Hurricane Center’s (NHC) 8:00 am EDT advisory reports that Hurricane Dorian has reached Category 5 status on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind scale. Data from an Air Force Hurricane Hunter plane which just penetrated the eye of Dorian indicate that the maximum sustained winds have increased to near 160 mph (260 km/h) with higher gusts. Devastating hurricane conditions are expected in the Abacos Islands very soon and these conditions will spread across Grand Bahama Island later today.

Rather it was replaced by the classic “buzzsaw” type cloud commonly seen in very intense tropical storms. However, unlike previous nights, the cirrus blowoff was not present. As with previous nights, the infrared imagery continued to show convective gravity waves and a well-defined eye. NOAA-20 flew over Dorian not quite looking straight down. The NOAA-20 satellite observed Dorian’s continued intensification in this satellite image which was captured on Sep. The NHC urges: “Do not venture into the eye if it passes over your location. These hazards will cause extreme destruction in the affected areas. and will continue for several hours.” The eyewall of catastrophic Hurricane Dorian is currently reaching There is a minimum central pressure of 922 mb (27.23 inches).
