3PM Update 28 August 2009
Danny's low level circulation remains west of the convection, some low level showers are approaching the coastline of the Carolinas, but Danny is about to run up against a wall. A trough coming soon should move or obliterate anything left of Danny if it were not to move.
Original Update
Tropical Storm Danny is barely a Tropical Storm this morning, recon was only able to find borderline winds to support a Tropical Storm. It has some chances to strengthen a bit, but most likely it will remain a tropical storm.
It looks like North Carolina will be left with a Tropical Storm Watch, and it will not be upgraded to a warning based on the current forecast track. This track keeps it offshore until the Canadian Maratimes. Since most of the convection is to the east, it's fairly likely that coastal areas will not see much more than increased waves.
In the east Atlantic 94L is gradually getting better, it may become a depression late today or tomorrow if it continues to get better organized. The overall pattern and models place the odds that it too will stay out to sea, but it is still too early to be at all confident in that. If the storm stays weak, it is more likely to head further west.

Danny is no longer tilted. It's nearly completely disconnected from the mid/upper level structure. I really don't see how this system can remain viable for much longer. The LLC is even more removed from the major convection so far today.

I completely agree. The only way Danny holds on is if the LLC can somehow reform under the convection and even then the enviroment is probably just to hostile for it to maintain. If something does not change soon that LLC will be nothing more than a low lever swirl coming inland.

I just took a peek at the visible satellite loop ending at 28/1415Z and is in a tough little pickle as to what to do other than continue to be on the side of caution. If I didn't know better you'd think this system deserves to be in the Pacific basin where this sort of stuff happens all the time, but I completely understand s reasoning and the two other scenarios that are in play. It's that time of year and nothing can be discounted.

Not exactly the TS you'd take home to meet mother, is he? I think he tried to go with the fishes, but they threw him back. Quite amusing to click on the forecast points vs the convection http://www.ssd.noaa.gov/goes/flt/t1/flash-wv.html

Does look like some wrapping occuring on the south side. Hard to tell if it's with the current center or a new one trying to form to the east. http://www.ssd.noaa.gov/goes/flt/t1/flash-vis.html

28/18Z - If ever anybody wanted to get a tutorial in determining what level clouds are; today is it. There is Danny's low level center and circulation completely exposed rotating counter-clock and the upper low with dry slot and its mid and upper level clouds rotating counter-clock right over the top Danny's western side of circulation and if Danny is a tropical storm this afternoon I'll be shocked.

I am no expert but i am good at watching trends and seeing how they develop. I got banned from this forum for not being techincal enough and this was years ago.
However I wonder. The current LLC is in a area of dry air as seen on the water vapor loop, however in the last 7 hours it has been drifting west, and if it continues another 7 hours it will be on the fringe of the more moist air. Sure the forcast is to the N but i am not seeing any turns. If the LLC makes it another 8 hours or so to the west, it could reform using some of the more moist air. As far as I can tell without the convection involved overhead of the LLC the direction of the storm is less affected by the steering currents,and actually could maintain its heading. sure shear will come into play, but i hypothosize that if for the next 8 hours the LLC continues west, it can reform into a real TS and come barreling up the coast, perhaps actually hitting the cape. I am located in boston.

29/0225Z - Yep, I do believe the upper low centered over GA/SC ejecting slowly east northeast this evening and it's associated winds aloft is my kind of meterological force field. Shortwave trough dragging it's surface cold front east will re-energize and deepen the longwave trough that has been persistent over the east much of this summer and bring some delightful below season temperatures to the SE USA. Turning to 94L, once it gets itself away to the , I think she's good to go with upper highs across the entire Mid-Atlantic basin. Short of any weaknesses along the way; it's far enough south that all eyes will turn to her for the foreseeable future.

From 5am discussion:
...DANNY IS RAPIDLY BECOMING ABSORBED BY A FRONTAL LOW WHICH IS DEVELOPING OVER NORTH CAROLINA.
IN FACT...THE PLANE TRAVERSED THE POSSIBLE LOCATION OF DANNY A COUPLE TIMES AND DID NOT FIND ANY SIGNIFICANT CYCLONIC WIND SHIFT NOR DID IT MEASURE TROPICAL STORM FORCE WINDS AT THE SURFACE.
...ADVISORIES ON DANNY HAVE BEEN TERMINATED AND THE TROPICAL STORM WATCH HAS BEEN DISCONTINUED.

I would suspect that if the convection continues to rebuild around the circulation as it is doing now, this will be raised at least back to "orange" status by the , by the 8 pm tropical outlook today.
Rainbow IR
The system is also well stacked, lower and upper level circulation is all centered on the new convection that has popped up. It is in warm waters and low shear.
