Here's what Hurricane Dorian is expected to do as it approaches land

• Here's what to expect from the storm before it makes landfall

• • Landfall is possible in the North Bahama islands as a Category 4 hurricane
  • Hurricane conditions arrive and continuously lash the Abaco Islands and Grand Bahama
  • The storm's forward movement likely slows to almost a crawl over North Bahama
  • Life-threatening storm surge, hurricane-force winds and very heavy rainfall will pound these northern islands
• • Dorian creeps toward Florida's east coast
  • Hurricane conditions are likely for anyone within 30 miles from the storm's center
  • Tropical-storm-force winds likely arrive along Florida coast
  • It continues to rain in the northwestern Bahamas, where up to 12 to 24 inches of rain is expected to fall, with isolated amounts of 30 inches
• • Landfall is still a distinct possibility in Florida as some forecast models have shifted west again
  • The storm turns northward and moves up the coast of Florida or more likely offshore and along the coast
• • The storm continues to produce hurricane-force winds as it heads north with some more weakening forecast
  • There is an increasing risk of strong winds and dangerous storm surge along the coasts of Georgia, South Carolina and North Carolina
  • Flooding rainfall continues from southern Florida into Georgia
  • Closest approach to Georgia and not out of the realm of possibility for a landfall
• • The closest approach to the Carolina coast and the possibility of a landfall
• • The storm is near the outer banks of North Carolina
