Hurricane Marie is currently dealing with dry air, which is likely limiting its strengthening. A large area of dry air is located west of the hurricane, and satellite imagery shows a dry slot surrounding the center. This dry air has weakened the deep convection that was previously present near the eye.

The initial intensity of the hurricane is 85 kt, based on recent intensity estimates. The hurricane's motion is currently 285/7 kt, with it moving along the periphery of a weak mid-level ridge.

Further details on Hurricane Marie's status and forecast are available from the National Hurricane Center.
