Danny is moving toward the west or 280 degrees at 9 kt/ 10mph. A turn toward the westnorthwest toward a weakness in the subtropical ridge is expected soon. After 48 hours, most of the
global models forecast the subtropical ridge to expand westward, forcing Danny to turn back to the
west as indicated in the NHC forecast.
Models in general, however, no longer intensify the cyclone as much as they
did in earlier runs and, in fact, weaken Danny to a tropical wave in the eastern Caribbean Sea.
