CNN: Hurricane Dorian Now a Category 1 Storm

EXCERPT:

CHINCHAR: "It's headed towards Hatteras as we speak. That would be our last possible point in which we could have a landfall. It is still very possible coming within only a few small miles, less than ten miles really from around the Morehead City area but not a technical landfall there. It’s still moving to the northeast at 14 miles per hour. 90 mile-per-hour sustained winds with gusts over 100 miles per hour. The heaviest rain is just south of Hatteras, but it's making its way up north. That’s where they’re just getting pummeled by some of those very heavy rain bands. Tornadoes also possible as some of those outer bands continue to push on shore. Flash flood warnings and flood watches are still in effect here for numerous states, because even states like Maryland and Delaware are going to be impacted by heavy rain even though they won’t get quite the winds that some of the other states had been getting. Look at this. Both North and South Carolina have some areas that have reported over 10 inches of rain. Wilmington picking up over 9 inches yesterday, actually setting a daily rainfall record there at the airport. Again, here is a look at the forecast accumulation. The thing you have to keep in mind, too, is that some of these places are still going to get an additional 2 to 4 inches on top of what they’ve already had. Here's a look at the storm. Notice the center of the storm does technically passed right over Hatteras around 9:00 to 10:00 this morning. That would be the potential — the highest potential we would have for a landfall, but any shift in that track could prevent that from happening.”
