Hurricane Danielle has weakened unexpectedly as it churns far out over the Atlantic.

The hurricane reached Category 2 strength earlier Tuesday but has now dropped to a Category 1 storm with maximum sustained winds near 80 mph. The National Hurricane Center in Miami says it could regain strength over the next two days.

Meanwhile in the Pacific, Tropical Storm Frank has strengthened as is moves slowly away from Mexico. Frank’s maximum sustained winds have increased to near 65 mph. The storm is located about 145 miles southwest of Acapulco, Mexico, and is moving west-northwest.
