Labor Day will feature mostly sunny skies until showers and storms pop up during the afternoon.  Monday’s highs will be in the low 90s.

In the tropics, what was Tropical Depression # 5 is now Tropical Storm Danielle. It’s expected to reach hurricane strength on Friday.  At 5 am, Danielle was located about 980 miles west of the Azores and had maximum sustained winds of 70 miles per hour.  It was creeping east at 3 miles per hour, and this slow motion should continue until Danielle accelerates to the northeast on Monday.

Elsewhere, the low east of the Leeward Islands hasn’t changed much, but the National Hurricane Center still gives it a high chance of becoming a depression during the next several days.  It is expected to bring heavy rain to portions of the Leeward Islands this weekend.  And the wave just northwest of the Cape Verde Islands is unlikely to develop.
