Tropical Storm Danny Expected to Hit Hurricane Strength Later This Week
Tropical Storm Danny was gaining strength far out in the Atlantic on Wednesday morning.

Tropical Storm Danny strengthened Tuesday evening, only a few hours after the cyclone became a tropical depression in the Atlantic.
Maximum sustained winds have increased to near 40 mph with higher gusts and additional strengthening is forecast during the next 48 hours. This system will also be facing dry air to its north across the Atlantic, which may limit its potential strengthening. Even a poorly organized tropical depression or storm could bring an uptick in drenching showers and thunderstorms, if the system tracks close by.
The 2015 Hurricane Season has been incredibly quiet so far with only 3 tropical storms, none of which have become hurricanes.
The territory, which usually sees lots of rain during the season, has been under a drought watch this year. Environmental conditions are expected to be marginally favorable for some tropical or subtropical development of this system by the weekend while it moves slowly northward.
It will still be several hundred miles away from the US after its interaction with the island chain. August through October is considered the most active part of the hurricane season.
It is important to note, however, that a large majority of the destructive hurricanes during the record-setting 2005 hurricane season developed in the western Atlantic Basin.

It’s too early to tell if the storm will affect the U.S., but Puerto Rico is now within the cone. For frequent updates, follow me on Twitter and like my Facebook page.
