Category 2 Hurricane Dorian is moving north and influencing gasoline and diesel liftings and demand.
Unlikely Industries that Need Weather Insights. There are many industries that rely upon expert weather insights to make business decisions that you may have never considered.
Hurricane Dorian is forecast to remain offshore as it passes Florida and Georgia approaching the Carolinas. Gasoline and diesel liftings that we are monitoring have started to decline except for Selma, N.C.
DTN expects Dorian will not make landfall in the United States at this time. Gasoline and diesel liftings of product from the terminals have started to decline except for Charleston.
The Category 4 Hurricane Dorian track is mostly in line with Sunday’s projections with the storm expected to hug the coast line putting Georgia and the Carolinas also in the cross hairs of the storm.
Hurricane Dorian continues to track off the coast of the U.S. Gasoline and diesel liftings at the terminals DTN is monitoring have started to decline (except for Savannah).
Liftings remain above normal in both Florida terminals. Prices are stabilized and only slightly higher. Wholesale prices seem to have flattened out and are now only slightly higher than where they were before the atypical lifting began.
Opportunistic gasoline prices spiked Friday in advance of Hurricane Dorian reaching landfall as Florida residents filled their tanks and possibly headed inland. The Orlando and Jacksonville charts, produced by DTN, reflect regular gasoline daily terminal liftings along with the wt. average rack price (solid blue line). The dotted line is a linear regression trend line.
Gasoline and diesel markets appear to be in good shape in advance of Hurricane Dorian reaching Florida shores. DTN is monitoring daily terminal volumes and prices once Dorian arrives and moves out.
