1. Dorian will continue to cause some impacts across portions Atlantic Canada into early Monday morning. Storm surge impacts will gradually subside over portions of the northeastern Gulf of St. Lawrence and western Newfoundland. Tropical-storm-force wind gusts will continue over portions of southeastern Newfoundland into early Monday but should end by late Monday morning. Refer to information from the Canadian Hurricane Centre for more information on these hazards.

1. Dorian is expected to bring tropical storm conditions to portions of the Lesser Antilles tonight and Tuesday, where tropical storm watches and warnings are in effect. Hurricane conditions are possible in St. Lucia, where a Hurricane Watch is in effect. Rainfall of 3 to 8 inches is expected from Martinique to St. Vincent, including Barbados, with isolated totals as high as 10 inches possible.

2. Tropical storm conditions are possible in Puerto Rico on Wednesday, where a tropical storm watch has been issued. Rainfall of 2 to 4 inches with maximum totals of 6 inches are possible across Puerto Rico and St. Croix.

3. Watches will likely be issued for portions of Hispaniola tonight or Tuesday, as the threat of wind and rain impacts continues to increase.

4. While uncertainty is high, wind and rain impacts are possible in the Bahamas and Florida later this week and this weekend. Residents in these areas should monitor the progress of Dorian and ensure that they have their hurricane plan in place.

WHAT'S NEW:

The Canadian Hurricane Center has discontinued all tropical cyclone warnings for Atlantic Canada.

SUMMARY OF ALERTS:

There are no coastal watches or warnings in effect.

WIND: [TOP] Tropical-storm-force wind gusts will continue across portions of southeastern Newfoundland until early Monday and then diminish by late Monday morning.

STORM SURGE: [TOP] Storm surge along the northeastern Gulf of St. Lawrence and the West Coast of Newfoundland will continue to subside through Monday morning.

RAINFALL: [TOP] Dorian is expected to produce rainfall accumulations of less than 1 inch across far eastern Quebec into Newfoundland and Labrador.

SURF: [TOP] Large swells are affecting the coast of Atlantic Canada, and they will continue to affect that area during the next couple of days. Swells along the mid-Atlantic and New England coasts of the U.S. will continue for another day or so. These swells are likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions.

At 1100 PM AST (0300 UTC), the center of Post-Tropical Cyclone Dorian was located near latitude 52.1 North, longitude 53.4 West. The post-tropical cyclone is moving toward the east-northeast near 24 mph (39 km/h) and this motion is forecast to continue through Tuesday. On the forecast track, the center of the post-tropical cyclone Dorian will continue to move away from Atlantic Canada through Tuesday.

Maximum sustained winds are near 60 mph (95 km/h) with higher gusts. Some weakening is forecast during the next 48 hours, and the post-tropical cyclone is forecast to be absorbed by a larger low pressure system on Tuesday.

Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 415 miles (665 km) from the center.

The estimated minimum central pressure is 980 mb (28.94 inches).

The center of Post-Tropical Cyclone Dorian is now located northeast of Newfoundland over the Labrador Sea where sea-surface temperatures are less than 10 deg C. No significant convection exists within 120 nmi of the center and, thus, Dorian has become fully extratropical. Therefore, this is the last advisory on this system.

The post-tropical cyclone is now moving east-northeastward or 060/21 kt. This general motion should continue through Tuesday or until the cyclone is absorbed by a larger extratropical low.

The NOAA Ocean Prediction Center (OPC) once again provided guidance on the intensity and wind radii forecasts, and initial 12-ft seas radii. The post-tropical cyclone is forecast to gradually weaken through Tuesday or until it is absorbed by a larger low.

Dorian's convective pattern has waxed and waned this afternoon due to intrusions of dry mid-level air while the upper-level outflow pattern has continued to expand and become more symmetrical. Although the inner-core convection has decreased recently, a recent burst of strong convection with cloud tops colder than -80C has redeveloped just north of the low-level center. The initial intensity remains at 50 kt based on a an average of satellite intensity estimates ranging from 45 kt to 61 kt from TAFB, SAB, and UW-CIMSS SATCON and ADT. An Air Force Reserve reconnaissance aircraft is scheduled to investigate Dorian by 0000 UTC this evening, and will provide a better estimate of the cyclone's intensity.

The initial motion is west-northwestward or 290/12 kt. There is no significant change to the previous forecast track or reasoning. The latest NHC model guidance remains in very agreement that Dorian will move west-northwestward across the central Lesser Antilles tonight and into the northeastern Caribbean Sea on Tuesday as the cyclone moves around the edge of the Bermuda-Azores ridge located well to the north. On Wednesday, Dorian should turn northwestward into a small weakness in the ridge, allowing the tropical cyclone to pass near or between western Puerto Rico and the eastern Dominican Republic. By late Thursday and Friday, the ridge is forecast to build back in as an upper-level trough lifts out to the north, causing Dorian to turn back toward the west-northwest in the vicinity of the central Bahamas. The new official forecast track is just an extension of the previous one since the latest model guidance, especially the consensus models, are tightly packed around the previous track forecast.

The intensity forecast remains something of an enigma. The majority of the environmental conditions support at least steady strengthening, with the main hindrance being the very dry mid-level air surrounding the cyclone and occasionally being entrained into Dorian's inner-core region. The small but robust circulation should continue mix out the brief dry air intrusions, but when an eyewall will form is still uncertain. Given that Dorian will be moving into the convective maximum period later tonight, the intensity forecast still calls for Dorian be near hurricane strength when it passes through the Windward Islands. Interaction with Hispaniola and possibly Puerto Rico should result in some weakening in 72-96 hours, followed by restrengthening on days 4 and 5 when Dorian will be moving over the very warm waters in the Bahamas in low shear conditions. Most of the global models along with the statistical- dynamical SHIPS and LGEM intensity models are now showing pronounced strengthening while Dorian is moving near or through the Bahamas, so the official forecast shows a significant change to the previous one at 96 and 120 hours. However, confidence in the intensity forecast at days 4 and 5 is very low given the uncertainty about how much of Dorian's core will interact with Hispaniola.
