People living along or planning to visit the East Coast this weekend will need to pay close attention to newly formed Tropical Storm Danny. Danny is expected to track near the coast of the mid-Atlantic and New England Friday night into the weekend.

Tropical Storm Danny formed late Wednesday morning to the east of the Bahamas, making it the fourth named storm of the 2009 Atlantic Hurricane Season. Danny will track northwestward through Thursday, staying east of the Bahamas.

The storm will then take a turn more toward the north Friday before curving to the northeast over the weekend. This path puts areas from the North Carolina coast to New England at risk.

As the storm moves over warmer waters and into weaker wind shear Thursday into Friday, it is expected to strengthen into a hurricane by the early part of the weekend.

The forecast path released by the AccuWeather.com Hurricane Center continues to show Danny passing just east of the Outer Banks of North Carolina Friday night before strengthening into a hurricane and making landfall over Long Island or southeastern New England late Saturday or Saturday night.

There is still a chance that Danny tracks farther west, moving over the Outer Banks. There is also a chance the storm heads farther to the east like Bill, missing New England and never making landfall along the East Coast.

AccuWeather.com meteorologists will continue to get a better idea in the coming days as to where exactly this feature will track, how strong it will become, who will be at risk and what the impacts will be.

Danny's current projected track would bring tropical storm-force winds along and near the coastline of the Outer Banks on north through the Virginia Capes Friday night into early Saturday. It would then make landfall as a Category 1 hurricane in southern New England later Saturday, bringing damaging winds and flooding rain.

At the very least, high surf and dangerous rip currents will threaten swimmers and boaters, even if the system does not move inland. With Danny expected to move slower than Hurricane Bill did, rip currents could remain a hazard at the beaches for a longer period of time.

Residents, visitors and people with business interests planning to head to the East Coast this weekend should keep checking back with AccuWeather.com for more details.
