Hurricane Dorian Intensifies to Category 3; Will Pound Coasts of Georgia, the Carolinas and Virginia Through Friday

Outer rainbands are pushing farther into southeastern Georgia and the coasts of the Carolinas while gradually tapering off along the northeastern Florida coast. Along with heavy rain and stronger wind gusts, rotating cells within these bands are capable of spawning short-lived, fast-moving tornadoes.

Wind gusts in those rainbands on Wednesday morning reached 55 mph on Sapelo Island, Georgia, and 49 mph on Isle of Palms, South Carolina. Wednesday afternoon, a wind gust of 52 mph was reported in Jacksonville, Florida. Sustained winds of 45 mph and a gust of 56 mph were measured just south of Charleston, South Carolina, early Wednesday evening.

A 69-mph wind gust was also clocked at New Smyrna Beach, Florida, early Wednesday morning.

Significant beach erosion from Dorian's pounding surf has been reported since Tuesday in Flagler Beach, Vero Beach and Daytona Beach, Florida, and Isle of Palms, South Carolina.

Here is a rundown of the current watches and warnings, according to the National Hurricane Center:
