DISCUSSION AND 48-HOUR OUTLOOK
------------------------------
At 500 AM AST (0900 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Danny was
located near latitude 15.8 North, longitude 60.5 West. Danny is
moving toward the west near 9 mph (15 km/h), and a westward to
west-northwestward motion is expected over the next 48 hours.  On
the forecast track, the center of Danny will move across the
southern Leeward Islands later this morning and afternoon, and
move into the northeastern Caribbean Sea by this evening.

Reports from a NOAA Hurricane Hunter aircraft indicate that maximum
sustained winds remain near 40 mph (65 km/h) with higher gusts.
Weakening is forecast during the next 48 hours, and Danny is
expected to become a tropical depression by this evening, and
degenerate into a remnant low tonight or on Tuesday.

Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 60 miles (95 km)
from the center.

The latest minimum central pressure reported by NOAA aircraft data
is 1007 mb (29.74 inches).


HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND

WIND:  Tropical storm conditions are expected within portions of the
warning area this morning.  Tropical storm conditions are possible
elsewhere over the Leeward Islands through this morning from
Guadeloupe northward.

the Leeward Islands, the U.S. and British Virgin Islands, and
