Hurricane Earl continues to move away from the Virgin Islands. There are currently quite a few watches and warnings in effect.
There are tropical storm warnings for Puerto Rico (including the islands of Culebra and Vieques), the U.S. Virgin Islands, British Virgin Islands and the Turks and Caicos islands.
A tropical storm watch is in effect for the southeastern Bahamas.
Hurricane Earl is moving west-northwest at about 15 miles per hour. This motion is expected to continue throughout the night. Earl has winds of up to 135 miles per hour, so he is now classified as a category 4 hurricane. Some additional strengthening is also forecast during the next day or so.
Tropical Storm Danielle is forecast to weaken throughout the night, and is also expected to loose its tropical status in the night. However, Danielle will still remain a large and powerful cyclone over the far north Atlantic for the next day or so.
Tropical Storm Fiona is our newest member of the 2010 Atlantic tropical cyclones. She formed a few hours ago and is expected to move toward the Northern Leeward Islands throughout the night. Although there are no current warnings or watches pertaining to Fiona in effect now, a tropical storm watch may be required for a portion of the Leeward Islands later this evening or tonight.

So far, there have been no reports of any damage caused by the tropical cyclones in the Atlantic, so we all hope that it stays that way for the remainder of Hurricane Season 2010.
Stay tuned for updates.
