Danielle becomes a major Hurricane

Posted by Jim Weber under Daily updates

The tropics have become quite active over the past week. Leading the pack is Hurricane Danielle which became our first major hurricane of the season overnight and has quickly become a category 4 hurricane with winds of 135mph this morning.

Satellite imagery shows a well formed eye with good outflow on nearly all sides of the storm. Computer models remain in good agreement moving this hurricane to the east of Bermuda over the weekend. Large swells will move thru the western Atlantic and even reaching the east coast of the US over the weekend.

Further out into the Atlantic is Tropical Storm Earl and Invest 97L which continues to show more organization this morning.

Models continue to show a more southerly track for Earl with an eventual turn towards the northwest. This track could put Earl very close to the Leeward Islands early next week.
