The National Weather Service has issued a Hurricane Watch for the Coastal Waters and Offshore Waters of Brevard County. This mainly serves as a notice to boaters, and does not necessarily mean that a hurricane watch will be issued for the Brevard County itself. For example, a look further south notes a Tropical Storm Watch for the land but a Hurricane Warning for the waters.
The local NWS office has cautioned that more watches and warnings are possible later today as Dorian continues to spin in the Bahamas.
