Danny weakens even more; some impacts still possible for the Outer Banks and eastern New England.


Tropical Storm Danny continues to weaken well off the Southeast U.S. Coast. As of 5 a.m. Friday, the center of Tropical Storm Danny was located 400 miles south of Cape Hatteras, NC.

Danny continues to struggle in a hostile environment, with an upper-level trough to the north and west, and shearing winds overtop the system.

Recent reports from a Hurricane Hunter Aircraft indicate Danny is barley holding on the tropical storm status, with the maximum winds now at 40 mph to the northeast of the center of circulation.

Danny is moving northwest near 10 mph. It should make a turn to the north and north-northeast later today into Saturday, while accelerating, as an upper-level trough deepens over the Central U.S.

Elevated surf and rip currents are already impacting areas from the northeast coast of Florida to the Outer Banks of North Carolina, and this will continue through tonight. Increased surf and rip currents will spread toward the southern New England coast tonight into Saturday.

There remains a lot of uncertainty with the forecast track and intensity of Danny.
