Tropical Strom Earl, Projected Path

The Atlantic Ocean seems to be filled with tropical weather this week. Currently there are two strong storms churning along.

First we have Hurricane Danielle, which as of the 11 am advisory is packing winds up to 105 miles per hour. It is headed in a general NW motion at 15 miles per hour. Danielle is expected miss all land masses and eventually die out at sea. The only possible area that may experience some squalls is Bermuda, late this weekend. The National Hurricane center is giving Bermuda a 30-40% chance of experiencing tropical storm force winds from Danielle.

The second storm in the Atlantic is Tropical Storm Earl. Earl which isn’t as defined as Danielle, has winds up to 45 miles per hour, and is moving in a generally westward direction at this time. The long term projected path of Earl is for it to miss North America, and likely follow Danielle out to sea. The NHC predicts Earl to become a hurricane sometime this weekend. Any tropical predictions outside of a 3 day window are made with extreme caution, as it is much more difficult to predict. Therefore, all interests along the coast of the US and Mexico should continue to follow developments related to this tropical storm.
