Its Monday morning and Schrodinger’s cat is alive. Tropical Storm Danielle formed early Sunday off the coast of Africa. Danielle is 3150 miles southeast of North, South Carolina (You know, the place with the big runway, but I digress…).  Danielle is a 50 knot tropical storm heading northwest at 12 knots. This tropical storm has a hidden center of circulation which will make the exact track a tad variable; however the models continue to agree on a recurving track for Danielle east of Bermuda, a classic Fish Storm. Buffeted by upper shear, Danielle will slowly intensify into a hurricane in 48 hours. Pity the fish.
