Leslie is moving toward the north near 12 mph (19 km/h), and this motion is expected to continue through tonight.

Maximum sustained winds have decreased to near 70 mph (110 km/h) with higher gusts. Continued gradual weakening is expected during the next several days. Satellite wind data indicate that Leslie is larger than previously reported, and that tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 290 miles (465 km) from the center. The estimated minimum central pressure is 982 mb (29.00 inches). HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND ---------------------- SURF: Large swells generated by Leslie will continue to affect portions of the southeastern coast of the United States, Bermuda, and the Bahamas during the next few days. Swells are expected to increase near the coasts of New England and Atlantic Canada by the end of the week. Please consult products from your local weather office as these conditions could cause life-threatening surf and rip currents.
