We will continue to closely monitor Dorian. Although South Florida has been placed inside the cone of uncertainty, the margin of error for day 5 is over 200 miles. There are still a lot of unknowns about how Dorian will survive the strong wind shear and dry air in the Caribbean. We will have a much better idea about potential impacts to Central Florida by Wednesday.
