Dorian weakened to a Category 3 hurricane early Tuesday morning but remained at a near standstill about 30 miles northeast of Freeport Grand Bahama Island. It has barely budged from that position since Monday afternoon. Its wind speeds lessened slightly to 120 mph with higher gusts. That was down from 130 mph Monday evening.
