Tropical Update
Tropical Depression Five strengthens to Tropical Storm Danielle over the north Atlantic. TS Danielle is centered about 960 miles west of the Azores and moving east at 2 mph. The tropical storm is expected to meander during the next few days before moving NE early next week. Maximum sustained winds have increased to near 40 mph with higher gusts. Strengthening is forecast during the next few days, and Danielle is expected to become a hurricane in two days or so.
Showers and thunderstorms associated with a broad area of low pressure located several hundred miles east of the Leeward Islands have gradually increased in organization over the past day or so. Although environmental conditions remain only marginally conducive, any additional development of the system over the next few days would lead to the formation of a tropical depression. The disturbance is forecast to move slowly WNW, toward the adjacent waters of the northern Leeward Islands.
* Formation chance through 48 hours: Medium (60%)
* Formation chance through 5 days: High (80%)
Satellite imagery and surface observations show that a broad area of low pressure is located over and to the northwest of the Cabo Verde Islands. While surface observations indicate pressures are low in this area, the associated shower activity is currently poorly organized. There is still some chance for the system to become a short-lived tropical depression within the next day or so before environmental conditions become unfavorable for further development.
* Formation chance through 48 hours: Low (30%)
* Formation chance through 5 days: Low (30%)
