Hurricane Dorian strengthened back up to Category 3 status late Wednesday just 105 miles south of Charleston, South Carolina.

The storm began to re-intensify on Wednesday after diminishing to a Category 2 thanks to an “environment of light to moderate vertical wind shear and warm sea surface temperatures,” the National Hurricane Center said.
