If you want a very nice, little utility that will convert knots to mph or mph to kph or just about anything in between, try this:

https://joshmadison.com/convert-for-windows/

It's free, and I've been using it for years for all sorts of conversions. Keep a shortcut on your desktop and it's always right there. It's extremely easy to use and very self-explanatory.

Also if you can calculate a 15% tip, you can calculate mph from knots, since mph are 15% more than knots.

An easy way to think about it is: add 10% to knots then half again, so for example if it's 80 knots it's 80 + 8 +4, or 92 mph.

NHC will then round down or up to nearest 5 MPH, so 80 knots is 90 MPH on the advisory.

Looks like it will miss next plot to the north.

Center is located near the south side of the eye so it's pretty much on track.

I think we're on the cusp of this becoming a category 5 any moment now. Somebody else mentioned that this would be the 4th year in a row with a cat 5 in the atlantic basin too.

I agree. It may be already a Cat 5.

2015Z, will fix the eye at 2330Z

Dorian's likely intensifying again, going for a W ring

If it keeps doing that it'll miss the Bahamas slightly to the North.
