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.
