Tropical Storm Danny gained some strength and speed overnight and could reach the Leeward Islands in the eastern Caribbean early next week. Although Danny is forecast to become a Category 1 hurricane over the weekend, the long-term future of the storm is questionable.

Danny’s sustained winds increased overnight to about 50 mph, which makes it a moderately strong tropical storm, tracking west across the tropical Atlantic at about 12 mph. Danny has lost much of its strong thunderstorm activity, and its low-level circulation is plainly visible on satellite — something that does not indicate an intensifying tropical cyclone.

The official forecast from the National Hurricane Center indicates that Tropical Storm Danny could become the first hurricane of the 2015 season on Thursday. The center is forecasting Danny’s winds to increase to 90 mph on Saturday, which would make the storm a Category 1 hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson scale. But beyond that, Danny faces significant environmental hurdles.
