Hurricane Danielle strengthens, Tropical Storm Earl churns in the Atlantic - Fox Weather

Danielle regained hurricane strength on Saturday after weakening to a tropical storm.

A quiet August has turned into a busier September with two named cyclones traveling through the Atlantic Ocean.

Danielle is harmlessly spinning over the North Atlantic and is nearly a thousand miles from the nearest landmass.

Danielle strengthened again into a Category 1 hurricane on Saturday evening and slight strengthening is expected through Labor Day. Maximum sustained winds have increased to near 75 mph with higher gusts as it slowly moves off to the northeast, in the general direction of Europe.

Tropical Storm Earl

Tropical Storm Earl formed Friday evening east of the Caribbean after days of battling hostile upper-level winds and dry air.

HURRICANES OFTEN RUIN END-OF-SUMMER HOLIDAY PLANS ON LABOR DAY WEEKEND

The cyclone has winds of around 50 mph, with higher gusts and is also expected to strengthen during the Labor Day week.

On its current heading, the cyclone is expected to stay north of the Caribbean Islands but could increase rains and swells through the weekend. Heavy rains could cause some flooding impacts in Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, and the Northern Leeward Islands through Sunday.

The National Hurricane Center expects Earl to react to a weakness in a ridge and turn more northerly over the next few days.

A turn to the right will keep the cyclone well east of the Southeast and safely out to sea.

Major computer models all are in agreement that the cyclone will remain a concern for mariners but could come close to Bermuda late in the workweek.
