Danny forecast to strengthen – could be a hurricane by tomorrow

Tropical Storm Danny continues to spin about halfway between Africa and the Eastern Caribbean in the central Atlantic Ocean.

Satellite imagery on Wednesday afternoon showed that Danny has a well-defined circulation center, though organized shower and thunderstorm activity near this center has been fairly limited. Trackers have observed a small flare-up of thunderstorms that will be monitored to see if it persists and/or expands, which would be a sign of increased organization.

Assuming the atmosphere immediately surrounding Danny remains somewhat moist, Danny is forecast to strengthen to the first hurricane of the 2015 Atlantic hurricane season possibly as soon as Thursday night or Friday.

The Agency was established in 1991 as CDERA (Caribbean Disaster Emergency Response Agency) with primary responsibility for the coordination of emergency response and relief efforts to Participating States that require such assistance. It transitioned to CDEMA in 2009 to fully embrace the principles and practice of Comprehensive Disaster Management (CDM). [/su_box]
