Cam­eras out­side the Inter­na­tion­al Space Sta­tion cap­tured views at 9:48 a.m. East­ern time Sep­tem­ber 4 of Hur­ri­cane Dori­an from 260 miles in alti­tude as it trav­elled in a direc­tion par­al­lel to the north­east coast of Flori­da. In its 10 a.m. EDT advi­so­ry, the Nation­al Hur­ri­cane Cen­ter said Dori­an is mov­ing toward the north-north­west near 8 miles per hour with a north­west or north-north­west motion expect­ed through this morn­ing. A turn toward the north is fore­cast by this evening, fol­lowed by a turn toward the north-north­east on Thurs­day morn­ing. On this track, the core of Hur­ri­cane Dori­an will move dan­ger­ous­ly close to the Flori­da east coast and the Geor­gia coast through tonight. The cen­ter of Dori­an, which is a cat­e­go­ry 2 hur­ri­cane, is fore­cast to move near or over the coast of South Car­oli­na and North Car­oli­na Thurs­day through Fri­day morn­ing. Max­i­mum sus­tained winds are near 105 miles per hour with high­er gusts. Some weak­en­ing is expect­ed dur­ing the next cou­ple of days, even though Dori­an is expect­ed to remain a pow­er­ful hur­ri­cane dur­ing that time.
