Tropical Update
Hurricane Danielle is centered about 805 miles WNW of the Azores and moving ENE at 6 mph. A general NE motion is expected over the next several days. Maximum sustained winds are near 75 mph with higher gusts. Gradual weakening is forecast during the next several days.
Tropical Storm Earl is centered 370 miles north of St. Thomas and moving north at 5 mph. This motion is expected to continue with a gradual turn to the NE, approaching Bermuda on Thursday. NOAA Hurricane Hunter Aircraft indicates that maximum sustained winds remain near 65 mph with higher gusts. Earl is forecast to maintain its strength today followed by intensification resuming by tomorrow.
Disorganized showers and thunderstorms stretching from the Cabo Verde Islands southwestward several hundred miles are associated with a broad and elongated area of low pressure. Environmental conditions are conducive for some development of this system, and a tropical depression could form in a few days while moving west to WNW at 15 to 20 mph over the eastern and central tropical Atlantic. Upper-level winds are likely to become less conducive for development late this week.
* Formation chance through 48 hours: Medium (40%)
* Formation chance through 5 days: Medium (60%)
