MIAMI — Hurricane Earl is forecast to turn into a major storm later Thursday, with tropical storm and hurricane conditions expected to begin soon in Bermuda.
Swells caused by the Category 2 hurricane are also building near Bermuda and are expected to reach the U.S. East Coast later Thursday. They are likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions through the weekend, according to the National Hurricane Center.
Additionally, forecasters are watching two disturbances in the Atlantic, one of which has a high chance of turning into a “short-lived tropical storm in the next day or so.” As for Danielle, it’s a post-tropical cyclone and is no longer being tracked by the National Hurricane Center.
