Although Dorian's geographic evolution will remain moderate, the forecaster is squeezing further degradations on the US East Coast. Dorian "would not be going back to Florida but going up the coast to Georgia and South Carolina," she says. "There, it should weaken but it will still be very violent and the winds will be very damaging to Florida."
