Some gradual weakening is forecast during the next 48 hours. Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 105 miles (165 km) primarily to the northeast of the center, and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 230 miles (370 km).

SURF: Swells generated by Maria are affecting much of the east coast of the United States, Atlantic Canada, Bermuda, the Bahamas, and the Turks and Caicos Islands.
