New Tropical Storm Earl packing 40 mph winds; Danielle weakens

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 11 a.m. advisory on Saturday, Tropical Storm Danielle is expected to pick up strength over the next few days and turn back into a hurricane. 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 115 miles east of the eastern edge of the Caribbean Sea. It is headed west, but expected to curl north in the next few days. As of 5 a.m. Saturday, it was moving west-northwest at 13 mph with maximum sustained winds of 40 mph. Tropical-storm-force winds extend out 175 miles.
