As ʻO Dorian wili ʻia i loko o ka wai mehana a hāmama o ka ʻAkelanika i ka Pōʻalima, ua ulu ka hopohopo e pili ana i ke ala i kuhi ʻia e ka ʻino ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa, kahi e hiki ai ke hahau ma ke ʻano he makani nui i ka hopena pule hoʻomaha e hiki mai ana.

Ua ʻōlelo ka National Hurricane Center i kāna ʻōlelo aʻo ʻana i ka hola 11 ʻo ka ʻino ma kahi o 220 mau mile ma ke komohana ʻākau o San Juan a me 370 mau mile ma ka hikina-hema hikina o ka Bahamas. ʻO ka ʻino, e hoʻopaʻa mau ana i nā makani ikaika o 85 mph, ke neʻe nei ma 13 mph i kona komo ʻana i ka wai ākea - a me ka mahana - nā wai o ka ʻAkelanika hema.

ʻOiai ʻo Dorian, ka lua o ka makani ʻino o ke kau ʻAkelanika, e hele ana ma ka ʻākau o Bahamas ma hope o kēia pule, ua manaʻo ʻia e hiki i ka Category 4 ka ikaika o ka makani ma mua o ka hoʻokokoke ʻana i ke kahakai hema o ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa.

Loaʻa i ka makani pāhili ka ikaika o kahi Māhele 3 a ʻoi aku paha. ʻO ka makani ʻino o ka Māhele 4 he makani paʻa loa ma ka liʻiliʻi he 130 mph.

"Ke manaʻo ʻia nei ka hoʻoikaika ʻana i kahi ʻino nui i ka huli ʻana i ke komohana i ka ʻĀkau Bahamas i kēia hopena pule," wahi a AccuWeather Senior Meteorologist Alex Sosnowski.

"Me ka wānana ʻo Dorian e hele ma luna o ka wai mehana loa o ke kahawai ʻo Gulf Stream, kahi e hoʻololi koke ʻia ai ka wai e ka wai mehana hou aku, pono ʻoe e hopohopo aia kahi ʻino ʻino ma ka papa ma mua o ka hiki ʻana i ke kahakai ʻo US," wahi a Sosnowski.

Ua neʻe ka ʻino i ka ʻākau i ka Pōʻakolu e hoʻāla hou ai kona kikowaena i ka hikina akau o Puerto Rico a me ka hoʻonohonoho ʻana i nā wānana e makaʻala no ka hoʻomohala ʻana i ka makani nui mua o ka ʻAkelanika o ka makahiki 2019.

Ua lawe mai ka makani ino i na ale o ka ua nui i Puerto Rico a me kekahi mau wahi o ka US a me British Virgin Islands i ka Poakolu ma hope o ka hahau ʻana i nā ʻāpana o ka Lesser Antilles i ka Poalua. ʻOiai ʻaʻole i ʻike ʻia ka maka o Dorian ma nā kiʻi kiʻi ukali ma ke ahiahi Pōʻakolu, ua maʻalahi ke ʻike ʻia ma kahi loop radar e hōʻike ana i ka ʻino e maalo ana ma Puerto Rico.
Ma ke ahiahi Poakolu, ua ike ia ka uila ma ka maka o ka Hurricane Dorian e ka GOES-16 weather satellite i kona kaalo ana ma ka hikina akau o Puerto Rico. Ke ʻike ʻia ka uila ma ka maka o ka makani ʻino, he hōʻailona ia o ka hoʻoikaika wikiwiki ʻana.

ʻO ka neʻe ʻana i nā wai mahana o ka ʻAkelanika hema e hāʻawi i nā kūlana kūpono no Dorian e hoʻomau i ka ikaika; Ke wānana nei ka poʻe meteorologists iā Dorian e hoʻoikaika i loko o kahi ʻino nui ma mua o ka pae ʻana ma ke ʻano he makani ʻino Māhele 3. He 84-86 degere Fahrenheit ka wela o ka wai ma ke ala o Dorian.

ʻO ka makani ʻino o ka Māhele 5 he makani paʻa loa ma ka liʻiliʻi he 157 mph.

"Ua neʻe ʻo Dorian i ka ʻākau i kona huakaʻi ʻana ma luna o nā wai hāmama mehana, e ʻae iā ia e hoʻoikaika wikiwiki," wahi a AccuWeather Hurricane Expert Dan Kottlowski no ka hoʻoikaika wikiwiki ʻana o ka ʻino.

I kēia hana ʻana ua neʻe aku ka ʻino mai ke kumu o kahi ākea o ka ea maloʻo ma luna o ka moku Karipiano.

ʻO ka lōʻihi o ka manawa e hoʻohana ai ka ʻōnaehana wela ma luna o nā wai mehana a hāmama o ka Atlantika, ma kahi mamao mai nā ʻāina nui, ʻoi aku ka nui o ka manawa e hoʻoikaika nui ai.

Me nā lā he nui ma luna o nā wai ākea o ka Atlantika e hele mau nei, ʻaʻole i hoʻonohonoho ʻia ke ala pololei o Dorian no ka hopena pule a ma waho.

"ʻO kahi liʻiliʻi liʻiliʻi loa i ke ʻano o ka wā holoʻokoʻa e loaʻa i kahi mana nui i kahi o Dorian e hahai ai a pehea e hopena ai i ka ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa," wahi a AccuWeather Senior Meteorologist Adam Douty.

"Inā lohi ʻo Dorian a huli i ke kūkulu ʻākau, ʻoi aku ka nui o nā hopena ma Carolinas aʻo Florida e pale ʻia mai ka pōʻino nui," i hoʻohui ai ʻo Douty.

"Ma muli o ka nui o nā mea hiki, ʻaʻole maopopo ka makani, ka piʻi ʻana a me ka ua i manaʻo ʻia mai Dorian ma luna o ka ʻĀkau Bahamas a me Florida i kēia manawa," wahi a Kottlowski.

I kēia manawa, manaʻoʻiʻo ʻo AccuWeather he pae ʻāina ma waena o ke kahakai ʻo Atlantika o Florida.

I ka manawa e hiki ai ʻo Dorian i ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa, ʻoi aku ka nui o ka nui o ka ʻino a ʻoi aku ka lōʻihi o kona hopena, ke hoʻohālikelike ʻia me ka ʻōnaehana paʻa i ka Caribbean. Hiki i kēia ke lawe mai i kahi ākea ākea mai ka hema o Florida a hiki i nā kahakai ʻo Georgia a me South Carolina.
