Read full article: The best new hurricane model you may not know about

HAFS was the most accurate model to predict Cat 5 Hurricane Dorian as it hit the Bahamas Sept 2019. This model is still in development but took top place for track accuracy during the 2019 hurricane season, according to hurricane scientists at NOAAโ€™s Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory (AOML). The regional and global HAFS had lower track errors during the 2019 hurricane season compared to other NOAA models. In cases like Hurricane Dorian, the regional HAFS track outperformed the GFS, HWRF and HMON. AdHAFS never predicted hurricane Dorian to hit Florida while the GFS (A), HWRF (B), and HMON (C) all did.

The Hurricane Center said it expected the storm to make landfall early Tuesday near southern North Carolina. Still, on this part of the South Carolina and North Carolina coasts that has been affected to varying degrees by seven tropical storms or hurricanes since 2014, residents weren't panicking. Up the coast in southern North Carolina, high winds from Isaiasโ€™ inner core knocked down trees and power lines, blocking roads. Wayne Stanley and his family came to the city over the weekend from Julian, North Carolina. Farther up the coast into North Carolina, the hurricane center predicted storm surges of 3 to 5 feet (0.9 to 1.5 meters) when Isaias moves onshore.

Ron DeSantis issued state of emergency orders Friday for all counties on Floridaโ€™s Atlantic coast -- from the Keys to Nassau County -- as Hurricane Isaias drenched the Bahamas and remained on a track for at least a brush with Florida. โ€œOur sites, because theyโ€™re outdoors with tents, if it were to get 40-, 50-mile-per-hour winds, it would just collapse,โ€ he said. Mayor Carlos Gimenez said the county has 20 evacuation centers on standby that could be set up with COVID-19 safety measures. โ€œWe still donโ€™t think there is a need to open shelters for this storm but they are ready,โ€ he said. Isaias had maximum sustained winds of 75 mph on Friday and it was expected to remain a hurricane through Sunday as it moves north along or just off the Florida coast according to the U.S. National Hurricane Center in Miami.

Read full article: Dorianโ€™s threat dominated hurricane season in Florida

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. โ€“ For Florida, the 2019 hurricane season will be remembered for a gigantic, nerve-racking scare over the Labor Day weekend. But Florida avoided a strike in September from Hurricane Dorian after the mega-storm devastated parts of the Bahamas. And with the Sunshine State still recovering from Hurricane Michael in 2018 and Hurricane Irma in 2017, this yearโ€™s season was more psychologically challenging than physically taxing for Floridians. By comparison, Hurricane Michael caused an estimated $7.4 billion in insured losses when it slammed into Northwest Florida in 2018. Otherwise, the six-month 2019 hurricane season had the smallest impact on Florida in four years.
