Hurricane season isn't over yet. What happens if they get hit with another one? This one isn't a danger...but the next?
Tropical Storm Lee formed Wednesday in the central Atlantic, but posed no threat to land, forecasters said.
At 5 p.m. EDT, Lee was about 900 miles east of Bermuda and moving north-northeast at 12 mph, according to the National Hurricane Center in Miami. On this track, the five-day forecast projected the storm would stay far from land.
The tropical storm had top sustained winds of 40 mph, just above the 39 mph threshold to be classified as a tropical storm.
Lee was the 12th named storm of the unusually active Atlantic hurricane season. Typically, there are only four to five named storms by late August, according to the hurricane center. Hurricane season began June 1 and runs through November. AP
