Tropical Storm Danny strengthens in Atlantic

Tropical Storm Danny has strengthened a little in the Atlantic as it moves toward land, and the National Hurricane Center encouraged people from the Carolinas northward to New England to monitor Danny’s progress. At 10 a.m. today, Danny had maximum sustained winds of 60 mph with slow strengthening expected over the next few days. Danny is centered about 320 miles northeast of Nassau, Bahamas, and about 550 south-southeast of Cape Hatteras, N.C., and moving somewhat erratically toward the northwest near 10 mph. The National Hurricane Center in Miami forecasts the storm to turn toward the north and increase its forward speed on Friday. Danny still is expected to brush past North Carolina’s Outer Banks late Friday and early Saturday as a minimal hurricane and also brush past Massachusetts’ Cape Cod late Saturday and early Sunday.
