We now have Tropical Storm Leslie.Moving west and is expected to strengthen.

Quote:

NHC has upgraded Tropical Depression Twelve to Tropical Storm "Leslie" as of 2 pm EDT. It's located over the Atlantic Ocean about 1125 miles east of the Windward Islands, moving toward the west. A turn more to the west-northwest is expected during the next couple of days.
Maximum sustained winds are 40 mph. Leslie could become a hurricane, but is not a threat to land at this time.
Leslie is the second-earliest formation of the 12th named storm in the Atlantic basin, eclipsed only by Luis in 1995.
Leslie is also the eighth named storm during this August, which ties the August record set in 2004.
