Woke up to another named system? Yep, you sure did! Earl was officially named by the National Hurricane Center at 11 p.m. on Friday, September 2.

Tropical Storm Earl became better organized and a well-defined center of circulation was found and maximum sustained winds are at 40 mph as it moves to the west-northwest at 13 mph.

Earl was located about 70 miles northeast of the northern Leeward Islands and its center is forecast to remain over water away from land. Still, some showers and isolated thunderstorms will likely affect the U.S. and the British Virgin Islands as well as Barbuda and Antigua. Luckily this system is expected to make a sharp turn to the north on Sunday moving even farther away from the Caribbean Island chain. This system will not impact the United States.

Danielle! Another tropical system, this one located over the north-central Atlantic is still parked in the same spot. Danielle became the first hurricane in the Atlantic Basin in 2022, and it lost a bit of its intensity early Saturday. Fluctuations in strength will continue as Danielle is stationary and is expected to stay like this through the weekend. The forecast calls for Danielle to become a hurricane later Saturday, again. Regardless of strength, Danielle does not represent a threat to land.
