Oh it has, for sure. It's pretty much out of the ITCZ now. So it has cut the umbilical cord and is on its own now...
Good evening ozonepete. Good to see you on the forum tonight. Yeah, Danny is on his own to battle the conditions ahead for sure. But, he is doing a very commendable job to this point of holding his own and shielding his well developed innercore from the mid level dry air surrounding it currently. The real challenge begins late tomorrow into the weekend as Danny moves past 50 degrees Longitude and enters a shear zone as mentioned astutely by others. Small tropical cyclones like Danny are very.unpredictable and over the years I have seen such systems like Danny defy the odds. So, the next few days will be interesting ones monitoring Danny for sure.
