Tropical Storm Danny

[Misty]

At 300 PM CST (2100 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Danny was located near latitude 10.9 North, longitude 37.5 West. Danny is moving toward the west near 12 mph (19 km/h). A motion toward the west is expected tonight, followed by a turn toward the west-northwest on Wednesday. Maximum sustained winds have increased to near 40 mph (65 km/h) with higher gusts. Additional strengthening is forecast during the next 48 hours, and Danny is expected to become a hurricane by Thursday. Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 45 miles (75 km)from the center. The estimated minimum central pressure is 1008 mb (29.77 inches). Atmospheric and oceanic conditions surrounding Danny are expected to be favorable for slow but steady strengthening throughout the forecast period.

Danny is not the scariest of names.

Neither was Katrina, Sandy, Audrey, Ike, Andrew, Wilma...

You gotta watch those Dannys

Now you've done it, Danny.

As of 11 a.m. EDT Sunday, Danny remained a tropical storm and was located about 310 miles east of Guadeloupe.

Stronger wind shear and drier air continues to force Danny to weaken from the Category 3/major hurricane status it achieved on Friday.

The status of Danny later this week and any future impacts to the United States will be determined by its track across the northern Caribbean.

Danny could get shredded apart by the mountains of Puerto Rico and Hispaniola too much to bring anything more than enhanced showers to the Bahamas later in the week. If Danny survives the journey past Hispaniola, wind shear could slacken enough for Danny to gain some strengthen and increase the impacts to the Bahamas.

Hope it falls totally apart so we can enjoy our beach vacation next week.
