Tropical storm Danny advisory 8 a.m. Aug. 28
A tropical storm watch is in effect for the North Carolina coast from Cape Lookout northward to Duck, including the Pamlico and Almebarle Sounds. A tropical storm watch means that tropical storm conditions are possible within the watch area, in this case, within the next 24 hours.
At 8 a.m. EDT, the center of Tropical Storm Danny was estimated about 355 miles south of Cape Hatteras, North Carolina.
Danny is moving toward the north-northeast with an increase in forward speed is expected today. On the forecast track, the center of Danny is expected to pass offshore of the Outer Banks of North Carolina early Saturday.
Maximum sustained winds are near 40 mph with higher gusts. There is small opportunity for slight restrengthening today.
Tropical storm force winds extend outward up to 205 miles, primarily to the east of the center.
Large swells from Danny are expected to produce dangerous surf conditions and life-threatening rip currents along the U.S. east coast during the next day or two.
