As of 8:00 a.m. EDT, Tropical Storm Danny remained a weak tropical storm with maximum sustained winds of 40 mph. The greatest threat to the U.S. coastline from Danny will be dangerous rip currents and strong surf. Beach erosion may also be a problem from Danny. Danny’s center is expected to pass off shore of the outer banks of North Carolina early Saturday.
The National Hurricane Center is also monitoring an area of disturbed weather that is approximately 850 miles west-southwest of the Cape Verde Islands. The NHC is giving this a medium chance of development (30% to 50%) into a tropical cyclone within the next 48 hours. Should this area become a hurricane it would be named Hurricane Erika. Several computer models have this system developing into a hurricane in three to four days. The system is more than 3,000 miles away from the United States and computer models have a high error rate at this stage of a system.
