Tropical Update
Hurricane Danielle is centered about 625 miles NW of the Azores and moving NE at 16 mph. A slow counterclockwise turn is forecast Friday and early Saturday, followed by a turn toward the SSE to SE over the weekend. Maximum sustained winds remain near 80 mph with higher gusts. Danielle should begin to weaken later today and transition to a post-tropical cyclone on Thursday, with further weakening anticipated through Saturday.
Hurricane Earl is centered 460 miles south of Bermuda and moving north at 8 mph. On the forecast track, the center of Earl is expected to pass to the southeast of Bermuda late Thursday and Thursday night. Data from a NOAA Hurricane Hunter aircraft indicate that maximum sustained winds are near 85 mph with higher gusts. Strengthening is forecast during the next couple of days, and Earl is expected to become a major hurricane on Thursday.
An area of low pressure located several hundred miles west of the Cabo Verde Islands is producing a large area of disorganized showers and thunderstorms. Environmental conditions appear conducive for additional development of this system over the next couple of days, and a tropical depression could form over this period while it moves west to WNW at 15 to 20 mph over the eastern and central tropical Atlantic. After that time, upper-level winds are forecast to become less conducive for development.
* Formation chance through 48 hours: Medium (60%)
* Formation chance through 5 days: Medium (60%)
