As of 11:00 a.m. ET, August 27, 2009, Tropical Storm Danny continues on its path towards the New England coast. The eye of the storm, or the center of Tropical Storm Danny was approximately 320 miles northeast of Nassau and approximately 550 miles south to southeast of Cape Hatteras, North Carolina. Those in the area should monitor their local weather forecasts and heed to any tropical storm warnings or advisories recommended by their local weather bureau.
Tropical Storm Danny is moving at a speed of approximately 13 miles per hour. The pat is erratic and is not expected to change until Friday. At that point, it is possible that Tropical Storm Danny will pick up more speed, and possibly strengthen to a category 1, then it would become Hurricane Danny. Currently, maximum wind speeds are 60 miles per hour, to become Hurricane Danny, those winds need to increase another 15 miles per hour that could very well happen overnight or tomorrow.
Tropical Storm Danny’s projected path has it placed along the East coast, and targeting states such as North Carolina, Virginia, Pennsylvania, New York, Vermont, and Maine. Whether Tropical Storm Danny will develop into a major hurricane remains to be seen, at this point, however, it is a Tropical Storm and those who are in the area will receive storms inherent with the system.
Tropical storm force winds associated with Danny extend outwards to a radius of 205 miles from the center. Tropical Storm Danny is the fourth named storm of the Atlantic Hurricane season. The next update will be released by the National Hurricane Center at 5:00 p.m. AST.
