"Its important to stress that this doesnt paint Florida as out of the woods yet," said Kathryn Prociv, a meteorologist for NBC News.
"Florida is still very much in the red zone," she added.
Dorian will continue westward through the weekend but is then forecast to turn northward as it approaches the east coast of Florida early next week, the center said. It will bring "risks of life-threatening storm surge, devastating hurricane-force winds, heavy rainfall and flooding along its path."
As of the NHC's 8 a.m. ET advisory Saturday, the storm was located 280 miles east of the northwestern Bahamas and 445 miles east of West Palm Beach.
The latest forecast track has narrowed the "Cone of Concern," as Miami-Dade County no longer faces the threat of the center of the hurricane. Parts of Broward County, including Fort Lauderdale, remain in the possible path of a Dorian landfall, according to the NHC.

This. If he's powerful enough to cause Global Warming as his detractors claim, he's powerful enough to divert a hurricane.
Yep. Didn’t want to get too far from the tree trunk.
A Classic!
As it turns out, the only large oak tree on my property, which I KNEW was destined to come down . . . came down last night. Don’t know why it took that particular time to topple, but now I won’t have to worry about the hurricane wiping it out. :^(
Was part of a prayer group praying for Eastward shift. This seems to be good news.
Three day forecasts of hurricanes are quite accurate.
10 bucks says it doesn’t ever make landfall in the U.S. (or anywhere for that matter....)
Poor MSM. They must be so disappointed.
“LOL. Yes, the liberals were hoping for destruction at Mar A Lago to damage Trump personally.”
Which would’ve also meant the destruction of heavily Democratic Palm Beach County, LOL.
Any normal person is aware they are only estimates. Three day hurricane forecasts are quite accurate while four day forecasts are off by an average of 155 miles, while the five day forecasts are off by an average of 205 miles. The National Hurricane center does not project past 5 days of an actual storm.
My god, you are a colossal and massive ignorant idiot.
I predict it will sweep right up the coasts of Florida and the Carolinas destroying every marina along the way.
Anything within a mile of mean bigh tide line better be lashed down real good.
That former prime minister(for a couple of months) loon of Canada will be so damn disappointed to hear this.
BTTT
No idea - I’m on the MS Gulf Coast and have been more interested in the tracking than what was being affected ... Miami was never in the actual crosshairs and if it keeps the current track or keeps moving further to the east, you may be in luck.
Preparing for and evacuating for a really bad hurricane situation is near impossible. My folks lived in Cape Canaveral in the '80s and '90s. My dad used to say that if they were going to evacuate, evacuate early, far away, and whenever a storm could hit. If not that, with a short amount of time either walk or bike away or get some six-packs and get in the attic or on the roof! (my dad was a unique outlier who was not into mainstream thinking)
Yeah..and Hes headed the storm towards Canada....
He should tweet that...lol....More exploding liberal heads
Next theyll be warning the folks in Maine to put plywood over their windows. Look out, Prince Edward Island! Here comes Dorian!
The Red Sox will win the world series before Dorian reaches Maine. And we don’t put plywood on houses, just blue tarps and tyvek siding.
