Fox News
A U.S. Air Force Reserve aircraft of the Hurricane Hunters is on a reconnaissance mission Monday to investigate the brewing tropical storm along the Georgia and South Carolina coastlines.
"NHC tasked the storm yesterday and then upgraded it this morning as our aircraft was en route to TD4," Lt. Col. Mark Withee of the 53rd Weather Reconnaissance Squadron told Fox News. The aircraft is taking direct measurements from the storm environment, which Withee said validated the predicted strengthening and allowed the National Hurricane Center to upgrade it to Tropical Storm Danny.More Related News
