Tropical storm season kicked into high gear this week as Hurricane Danielle continues to track southeast of Bermuda, Tropical Storm Earl is heading toward the Windward Islands, and a new disturbance that came off the coast of Africa on Thursday is being watched by forecasters for possible development.
Danielle is expected to turn north, and then northeast, passing east of Bermuda on Saturday. Dangerous surf conditions will prevail in Bermuda and swells from Danielle will reach the US Coast on Saturday, creating dangerous rip currents.
Danielle is a Category IV hurricane with sustained winds of 135 miles per hour. The storm developed an eyewall on Thursday.
Earl is still a few days from making any landfall, but is slowly gaining strenth. It's sustained winds are at 45, but barometric pressure is slowly dropping.
The new disturbance was south of the Cape Verde Islands on Friday. Winds increased from 20 to 25 miles per hour from Thursday into Friday.
