Forming from a tropical wave at a high latitude on July 16, Danny initially was not expected to strengthen past minimal storm intensity. However, as the storm followed a large loop-like path over the north Atlantic Ocean, it reached hurricane intensity on July 19 at an unusually high latitude and in an area of higher than normal pressures. After maintaining its strength for 24 hours, the convection quickly diminished as the storm moved over cooler water temperatures, and Danny degenerated to a remnant area of low pressure. The system turned to the southwest and west, and it dissipated on July 27, about 630 miles (1,015 km) east of where the storm originally formed. Danny did not affect land and resulted in no injuries or fatalities.
