As of midday, Tropical Storm Danny remains rather disorganized, now located 350 miles south of Cape Hatteras, NC. While the storm has wobbled a bit west, it is expected to resume its northwest track and turn to the north-northeast tonight. Danny will make its closest approach to the Outer Banks late tonight and early Saturday morning. A Tropical Storm Watch remains in effect from Cape Lookout to Duck, including the Pamlico and Albemarle Sounds. Maximum sustained winds are at 40 mph, making Danny a minimal tropical storm. While some strengthening is possible, that window of opportunity will be closing by tomorrow morning as the storm accelerates to the northeast. Large swells are expected to produce dangerous surf conditions and life-threatening rip currents along the East Coast through Saturday.Danny will pass too far east of the Virginia coast to have any real impact in central Virginia. The official forecast track from the National Hurricane Center is below, followed by the latest computer model tracks from the most recent runs.
