Hurricane Danielle has reached Category 2 status with a central pressure of 973mb. The system, currently about 1100 miles east of the Lesser Antilles, has winds of 100mph. Forecasters expect the storm to strengthen further and likely reach Category 3 by later today making Danielle a major hurricane. The good news is it appears the storm will remain out at sea and affect no land. The storm may get close enough to Bermuda on the weekend to generate rough seas and possibly some rain or wind. Meanwhile directly behind Danielle another area of disturbed weather just off the African coast south of the Cape Verde Islands is showing signs of development and will be investigated further today. This system may become a depression in the next 24 hours.
