In the tropics, Hurricane Earl continues to intensify and is forecast to become a major hurricane later today. At 5 am, Earl was located near 28.2 North, 65.4 West, about 285 miles south of Bermuda. Maximum sustained winds were 105 miles per hour, and Earl was moving north at 9 miles per hour. A tropical storm warning and a hurricane watch are in effect for Bermuda, which will see the closest approach by Earl tonight into Friday morning.
Danielle is now a tropical storm, but it continues to roil the waters of the central Atlantic. At 5 am, Tropical Storm Danielle was about 660 miles north-northwest of the Azores. Maximum sustained winds were 70 miles per hour, and Danielle was moving northeast at 16 miles per hour. Danielle is forecast to weaken, lose its tropical characteristics, execute a loop in the middle of the Atlantic, and then accelerate in the direction of Portugal and northwestern Spain early next week.
Elsewhere, the wave in the eastern Atlantic has a high chance of becoming a depression before it reaches an area that’s not favorable for development, which will happen in a few days. And the wave that has just emerged from the African coast has a low chance of developing in the next five days.
