the north-northwest near 9 mph (15 km/h) and this<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">
<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New";color:black">motion is expected to continue today. A turn toward the north is expected tonight, followed by a turn toward the northeast on Thursday. On

<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New";color:black">Maximum sustained winds are near 105 mph (165 km/h) with higher gusts. A slow weakening is expected during the next few days. However, Dorian
is expected to remain a powerful hurricane during<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">
this time.<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">Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 70 miles (110 km) from the center and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 175 miles (280
km). NOAA buoy 41008, located off the Georgia<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">
