Tropical Storm Danielle forms, 1st hurricane of the season could form by this weekend

ORLANDO, Fla. — After nearly two months since the last named storm, Tropical Storm Danielle formed Thursday morning in the mid-Atlantic, and the first hurricane of 2022 could soon follow, according to the National Hurricane Center.

As of 5 p.m. Eastern time, Danielle was located about 950 miles west of the Azores with maximum sustained winds of 60 mph moving east at 2 mph. Deep in the mid-Atlantic, Danielle is no current threat to land and is forecast to “meander during the next few days.”

However, meteorologists are expecting Danielle to not only stick around but to also become the first hurricane of the season by this weekend, reaching a strength of Category 1 winds.
