Once hurricane Danny lost his identity Monday morning. After encountering strong winds in the mid and upper atmosphere, and wrapping in dry, dusty air, Danny has become nothing more than a trough of low pressure. The remnants will continue to slide across the northeastern Caribbean, brining 2 to 4-inches of much needed rain to the Leeward Islands, the Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico over the next 36 hours.

The News 13 Weather Experts are keeping a close eye on a strong tropical wave just behind the remnants of Danny. It looks like we will have a tropical depression before the end of today, and quite possibly Erika by tomorrow or Wednesday. This system is moving fairly quickly westward at 20 mph. Another wave near the Cape Verde Islands is running a low chance of becoming something tropical in the next 5 days, but is also being closely monitored.
