Hurricane Danielle Seems Harmless, But Look Out For Earl
On August 23, 2010, Hurricane Danielle formed in the Atlantic, making it just the second hurricane of the 2010 Atlantic hurricane season. Earlier today however, it suddenly weakened from a Category 2 to a Category 1 hurricane, due to unexpected dry air intrusions and Westerly shear.
Hurricane Danielle is not expected to have much impact on the Caribbean and the United States, but may create rough conditions for Bermuda by Sunday, August 29. Don’t let your guard down just yet though, as the National Hurricane Center has warned that an ‘angry red blotch’ of weather located just south of the Cape Verde Islands, signals a mass of thunderstorms that stands a 90% chance of becoming a tropical cyclone within the next 48 hours. This will be EARL, and who to tell where he’ll end up!
