All Hurricane Warnings In Florida Have Been Lifted

Hurricane warnings across Florida have been discontinued, but tropical storm conditions are likely to continue through early Wednesday evening along the First Coast.

What follows is a synopsis of some of our earlier storm coverage.

At 5 p.m. Wednesday, Hurricane Dorian had maximum sustained winds of 110 mph, with the center of the storm offshore, with the outer bands still hugging Florida's First Coast but moving steadily north, northwest off Georgia's coast and heading toward the Carolinas.

The St. Johns River in Downtown Jacksonville was relatively calm - given Category 2 Hurricane Dorian was offshore - Wednesday afternoon at 3.

High tide in St. Augustine was at 12:03 p.m. Wave heights reached near 16 ft a few miles offshore St. Augustine Wednesday according to NOAA's National Data Bouy Center station 41117 and some coastal flooding was possible, more specifically in the Tolomato River.

The bands from the Category 2 hurricane generally dissipated before making it inland to the I-75 corridor.
