Finally Danielle...

Way Way Way out in the Atlantic, Danielle was named this afternoon. All computer models keep the storm recurving well north of the islands never threatening the U.S. mainland. It appears we may get thru the month of August without a hurricane threat...unless something develops just offshore over the eastern Gulf. We have another weak front that will drift towards the northern Gulf the next 2-3 days. Sometimes a weak low develops along an old frontal boundary once it moves over the Gulf. The good news...it rarely becomes a major storm. the bad news...it can become a big rain makers. I'll be watching the Gulf this week as we have no long track Cape Verde storms to worry about.
