Tropics Update - Saturday Evening 8/28

Hurricane Danielle will continue to move into the north Atlantic and weaken, so now all eyes are on Earl and Fiona. The steering winds that deflected Danielle away from the east coast will be gone for the upcoming workweek. This means that the track of Earl could easily shift farther west but it's way too early to speculate how far. The same holds true for Fiona (not officially named yet), which should become a tropical storm tomorrow or Monday. This is something that we will be carefully tracking during the next few days, so I encourage you to keep a close eye to the forecast!
