MIAMI — Forecasters say people in the Bahamas and the southeastern United States should keep an eye on Tropical Storm Danny, which could slowly get stronger as it moves toward land.
The storm has top winds near 45 mph and is moving west-northwest near 12 mph. On Wednesday evening, the storm's center was about 390 miles east of Nassau, Bahamas, and about 735 miles south-southeast of Cape Hatteras, N.C. Its coordinates were 25.2 degrees north, 71.2 degrees west.
The forecast has the storm on a path to clip the U.S. East Coast over the weekend, but a storm's track can be difficult to predict days in advance.
