Our meteorologist Karen Maginnis in the cnn Weather Center with the brandnew forecast. Where is this storm headed . Well, it is still trekking rather rapidly to the northeast at about 13 miles an hour. The faster it moves, the less the impacts will be. So were still looking at a system that is chugging along, and it is now located about 30 miles to the south of wilmington. So right now up and down the coast of North Carolina, they are being battered by high winds, winds associated with Hurricane Dorian at 100 miles an hour. It has sustained this for about the last 24 hours at least. What i see that may be some slight improvement is theres a little bit of dry intrusion. That is filling in the hurricane. As we see that dry air start to move on in, we might start to see this weaken just a little bit. But weve got a long way to go, don, as this continues to traverse right along the coast. This coastline of North Carolina is very fragile. Theres a national seashore. A lot of people go there
