Hurricane Dorian intensifies as it heads toward US - CNN

If you're looking for the 8 a.m. ET Hurricane Dorian update, it's not coming.

The next update from the National Hurricane Center will come at 11 a.m. ET.

Here's why: The National Hurricane Center releases new advisories every three hours — at 2, 5, 8 and 11, both a.m. and p.m. — when tropical storm or hurricane watches and warnings in place.

But Dorian is over water right now, and no area is under a watch or warning.

Under these conditions, the center only releases advisories every six hours: at 5 a.m., 11 a.m., 5 p.m. and 11 p.m.

The 5 a.m. ET advisory is the latest, which reported that Dorian has maximum sustained winds of 85 mph.

Here's a look at the latest predicted path:
