At 5 p.m. Thursday, Dorian has weakened a tad, according to the National Hurricane Center, but its minimum pressure at 960 mbar has it still a Cat 3 hurricane on the Saffir Simpson scale.
Not much has changed in its forecasted movement and that means Hoke's heaviest weather is from now until about 2 a.m.
Here at The News-Journal at 5 p.m. we have had .68 inches of rain with wind gusts to 29 mph. The forecast map divides Hoke County right down the middle, with the eastern half forecast to receive 4-6 inches of rain, and the western, 2-4.
