As the occasion end of the week draws near, everyone's eyes will be on the tempest as it goes over the "very warm water" of the Bahamas, and after that makes a move in the direction of Florida, as indicated by Fox News meteorologist Adam Klotz.

"No matter where this ultimately goes, it does look like it’s going to land along the Florida coast but it's running over warm water and it’s going to continue to intensify," Klotz said Thursday on "Fox and Friends." “So somewhere from Miami, stretching all the way up to Jacksonville, we're going to keep watching this one as it gets closer and closer over the course of this holiday weekend."

As Dorian moves over warm waters, the tempest is required to fortify by Friday into a noteworthy sea tempest.
