Miami, FL - The National Hurricane Center says the tropical system in the Atlantic has strengthened to become Hurricane Danny. The storm is the first hurricane of the 2015 season.
The system is expected to continue slowly moving west and north-northwest but is forecast to encounter some drier air and some wind shear that may weaken it.
The system as of Thursday is still about a thousand miles from any landfall in the Eastern Caribbean.
