What was the trajectory of Hurricane Dorian?

Dorian formed from a tropical wave on August 24, 2019, and had become a category 1 hurricane by August 28. It had rapidly intensified to a category 5 storm by September 1, striking The Bahamas. It then moved toward the southeastern United States before eventually reaching Nova Scotia, Canada, as a strong post-tropical cyclone.
