dorian’s arrival

Dorian, or should I say its rain bands, have arrived over Orlando. These rain bands along with tropical force winds will continue until mid-morning tomorrow as Dorian slowly crawls up Florida’s Atlantic coast. According to forecasters Dorian will be picking up speed as it moves further north and east. This is due in part to another low pressure ridge moving east off of the Great Lakes. The screen capture is from the iOS version of Dark Skys.

Dark Skys is a hit-or-miss kind of forecast app. If I have it focused on a city, such as Orlando, it’s fairly accurate. If I allow it to use my address, half the time it has the wrong address, and more times than I care for it misses a forecast entirely. More than once it’s been raining outside and Dark Skys shows nothing. Thus accuracy for me increases with a well-known landmark.
