(CNN) The US mainland should not breathe a sigh of relief just yet despite early forecasts that Hurricane Maria will remain out to sea. Regaining strength overnight, Maria lashed the Dominican Republic early Thursday after a destructive rampage through Puerto Rico and Dominica. The storm is a Category 3 hurricane packing winds of 115 mph, according to the National Hurricane Center. The current forecast does not show a direct hit on the East Coast, forecasters say, but such a path cannot be ruled out this far in advance. Moving away from Puerto Rico, it's bringing high winds and heavy rain to the northern coast of the Dominican Republic, the hurricane center said.Wary US forecasters are tracking Maria's possible pathMaria is a Category 3 hurricane packing winds of 115 mph

Washington (CNN) President-elect Donald Trump appeared open Friday to compromising on his oft-repeated pledge to repeal and replace Obamacare -- citing a conversation with none other than President Barack Obama himself. But the openness was complicated by a shift in the official positions listed on his website. The comments, made in an interview with the Wall Street Journal, signal less of a policy shift for Trump than a change from the rhetoric that helped win him the presidency just three days ago and could set up a fight with conservatives. Trump told the paper he was reconsidering his stance after Thursday's meeting with Obama, who urged him to protect parts of the law. Trump said he would like to keep the provision forbidding discrimination based on pre-existing conditions and to allow young Americans to remain on their parents' healthcare plans.Trump told the paper he was reconsidering his stance after Thursday's meeting with ObamaIt's a far cry from what Trump uttered during the primary to his boisterous fans at rallies

Little more than a month ago it hardly seemed worth England turning up for the Ashes, so remote did their chances appear against a formidable Australia. Perhaps now, however, they can dare to dream. It is the hope, of course, that kills you but England really do go into the first Test in Cardiff with a lot more hope and perhaps even a little more expectation than seemed possible when they came back from West Indies. Things have changed over those last few weeks and while they may not quite have changed quickly enough for England to regain the Ashes it is at least feasible now to expect a closely-fought series and maybe a surprising outcome.A month ago, it hardly seemed worth England turning up for the AshesNow, as it begins in Cardiff, there is much more optimismAustralia have lost a potential match-winner with Ryan Harris' retirementAlastair Cook is a better captain than many say but he must prove himself
