As of the latest advisory from the National Hurricane Center, Danny is now a hurricane.

From the NHC:

Danny is moving into some very dry air and an unfavorable area. IT has been strengthening overnight the last few days and then falling apart during the day. It will be watched closely, but doesn’t appear to be moving toward an area of rapid development and is still many days away from a possible concern to the United States.
