Projected to move "northward" over the weekend, up the East coast, may give small swell later next week, if it persists in development. Lots of fetch there.

I don't like that cone of anxiety. One jog to the north and it could miss the islands and head to S. Florida. Guess it's time to find all the hurricane shutters just in case. Here is the latest comment on flhurricane.com Mini model update. 6z GFS and Euro haven't changed much from earlier, weaken drastically Sunday, through th enorthern islands and then Danny weakening greatly, getting torn to shreds by shear and dry air. Biggest outlier: The GFDL run which shows it missing PR/VI islands to the north and then regaining strength on the last frame. Danny is still worth watching, but the NHC's track is still spot on based on the information available. I do think they are being a bit weak on current intensity, though. When some of the planes arrives this afternoon, and especially tomorrow afternoon the accuracy should get much better. The next run, 12Z, was initialized with 100mph winds, but it will be several hours before the runs start to show up.

Wow...Danny now a Cat 3 Major Hurricane. HURRICANE DANNY TROPICAL CYCLONE UPDATE NWS NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL AL042015 200 PM AST FRI AUG 21 2015 ...NOAA HURRICANE HUNTER AIRCRAFT REPORTS THAT DANNY IS A MAJOR HURRICANE... Reports from a NOAA Hurricane Hunter aircraft indicate that Danny is now a Category 3 Hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale. The maximum winds are estimated to be 115 mph (185 km/h) with higher gusts. No additional intensification is expected, as Danny is moving into an area of unfavorable upper-level winds, and a weakening trend is expected to begin later today. Consequently, no adjustment to the forecast intensities from the previous advisory is required.
