New Tropical Storm Earl intensifies to 50 mph winds; Danielle expected to regain strength

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — After a quiet start to hurricane season, Hurricane Danielle and Tropical Storm Earl both formed Friday — but neither system is a threat to Florida.

As of the National Hurricane Center’s 5 p.m. advisory on Saturday, Tropical Storm Danielle is expected to turn back into a hurricane either Saturday night or Sunday. The system, which became the first hurricane of the season Friday morning, lost some strength overnight and reverted to a tropical storm.

Tropical Storm Earl, which formed late Friday, is located about 75 miles north of the eastern edge of the Caribbean Sea. The storm has picked up strength, with maximum sustained winds of 50 mph, according to the 5 p.m. advisory on Saturday. Tropical storm-force winds extend out up to 105 miles.
