FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — Tropical Storm Danielle formed Thursday in the central Atlantic, just one day after August came and went without a named storm for only the third time since 1961, according to the National Hurricane Center.

The storm had intensified by Friday morning and is expected to become a hurricane in the open Atlantic, the center said in its 5 a.m. update.

Danielle formed from Tropical Depression Five near the Azores. It was moving east as of 5 a.m. Friday at 3 mph about 890 miles west of the Azores, with maximum sustained winds of 70 mph.
