Hurricane Danny is expected to continue to weaken as it moves towards the Leeward Islands and Puerto Rico. Danny has started to move into an environment with more wind shear, or change in wind speed with height either in speed and/or direction, and this has caused the hurricane to be downgraded from Category 3 to Category 1 intensity.
Danny's eye is no longer distinct in satellite imagery. It remains a tiny tropical cyclone, with tropical storm-force winds extending up to only about 60 miles from the center of circulation.
