The Atlantic storm Danielle has intensified into the second hurricane of the Atlantic season, but it later "unexpectedly" weakened Tuesday morning, according to the National Hurricane Center (NHC).

The NHC said the storm--still a Category 1 hurricane--is forecast to regain strength over the next 48 hours, albeit slowly.

Catastrophe modeler AIR Worldwide said Danielle reached Category 2 strength before weakening early this morning to a Category 1.
