Yes, currently it is weakening and the predictions are that it will weaken to a tropical storm. It is expected that "tropical storm warnings" will be issued later today for the leeward and virgin islands.

Danny currently is just poking along, but it is expected to pick up speed later today or tomorrow. Predictions have the wind speed in 24 hours to be possibly 65 to 75 mph, which could downgrade it to a TS. A Cat 1 is 74 to 95 mph.

Also later today they are sending another aircraft out to investigate and give more precise information. The next advisory is due at 11am, but that will be before the aircraft investigation.
