<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New";color:black">At 500 PM EDT (2100 UTC), the center of Hurricane Dorian was located near latitude 27.7 North, longitude 78.7 West. Dorian is moving toward
the northwest near 6 mph (9 km/h), and a slightly faster motion toward the northwest or north-northwest is expected tonight. A turn toward the north is forecast by Wednesday evening, followed by a turn toward the north-northeast Thursday morning. On this
track, the core of Hurricane Dorian will move dangerously close to the Florida east coast and the Georgia coast tonight through Wednesday night. The center of Dorian is forecast to move near or over the
coast of South Carolina and North Carolina Thursday through Friday morning.<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">
<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">

<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New";color:black">Dorian has become a larger hurricane. Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 60 miles (95 km) from the center and tropical-storm- force
winds extend outward up to 175 miles (280 km).<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">
<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">
The latest minimum central pressure based on Air Force Reserve reconnaissance data is 959 mb (28.32 inches).<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">
