Hurricanes and Tropical Storms

Projected Paths of Earl and Danielle

This Saturday morning, the tropics remain extremely active, featuring two developed storms as well as 2 areas being watched for possible development by the National Hurricane Center.

Hurricane Danielle is now a category 2 hurricane, with winds of up to 110 miles per hours. The projected path of Danielle will be one that takes it a good 200 miles east of Bermuda. It will than slowly die out over the Northern Atlantic.

Tropical Storm Earl is packing winds of 60 miles per hour, making it a fairly intense Tropical Storm. Earl is currently moving west at a rapid 21 miles per hour. The National Hurricane Center expects Earl to continue a westward motion for the next 36 hours before gradually turning in more of a Northwest direction. There is a tropical storm watch for the northern Leeward Islands. The Projected path brings it just north of the Islands, however, they are in the cone of uncertainty. From the Islands, it really becomes difficult to tell where Earl will go. All interests on the US East Coast should pay attention over the next few days to the forecast.

Elsewhere in the tropics, there are waves both in the Eastern Atlantic, as well as Gulf of Mexico, which need to be watched for possible development.
