(CNN) - Super Typhoon Hagibis rapidly intensified from a tropical storm to a super typhoon Monday. "The wind speed increased by 100 mph in only 24 hours," said CNN meteorologist Brandon Miller. The super typhoon is near the Northern Mariana Islands with sustained winds of 160 mph -- the equivalent of a Category 5 hurricane. It will track between the islands of Anatahan and Sarigan, according to the latest forecast from the Joint Typhoon Warning Center. The Joint Typhoon Warning Center has low confidence in its forecast on Friday and Saturday, so this powerful and dangerous super typhoon needs to be watched closely in the coming days.
NOAA's forecast for the path of Hurricane Dorian as of Monday, September 2 at 4 a.m. WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. - Hurricane Dorian has killed five people in the Abaco Islands, Bahamian Prime Minister Hubert Minnis said Monday. The storm wiped out power to Nassau and the rest of New Providence, the country's most populous island, Bahamas Power and Light said. "It's just an absolutely devastating, life-threatening situation," said Ken Graham, director of the National Hurricane Center in Miami. How Dorian could pummel the USAfter Dorian leaves the Bahamas, it threatens to turn its destructive force on the US Southeast.
(CNN) - Hurricane Dorian is set to pummel the northwest Bahamas this weekend with potentially catastrophic wind and storm surge before threatening the coastal US Southeast, from Florida to North Carolina, next week. Life-threatening storm surges of 10 to 15 feet could crash Sunday into the Abacos Islands and Grand Bahama, the National Hurricane Center said. The northwestern Bahamas also could get 10 to 25 inches of rain, the hurricane center said. Dorian is expected to move across the Bahamas slowly, creating life-threatening conditions as "rain, winds and storm surge (keep) piling up," hurricane center Director Ken Graham said Saturday. Tropical-storm-force winds could arrive in southeastern Florida by Sunday evening, the National Hurricane Center said.

Friday marks the beginning of Florida's King Tides, a term that refers to the highest tides in any given period. King Tides, sometimes called Spring Tides, typically appear in the spring and fall. (Though the term "Spring Tides" refers to spring as in the action, not the season). "The King Tides adding a couple of feet to the water height is almost like the storm being a category higher on scale." Something like the King Tides could mean those who would typically see themselves as far enough away from the storm's threat could, in fact, be in danger.
CNN imageHONOLULU, Hawaii - The storm's well-formed eye is ominous as it takes aim just south of Hawaii. Hurricane Erick is now a Category 3 storm, packing sustained winds of 125 miles per hour. New satellite imagery from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration shows the storm's clearly defined eye and powerful eye wall, the ring of storms that surround the storm's center.

"But while the eye of the storm looks mostly clear, closer inspection reveals some small, spinning cloud streaks that are hallmarks of very intense hurricanes and typhoons."
