Tropical Storm Leslie has been downgraded for the third time as it continues to weaken in the Atlantic Ocean. The storm is currently located several hundred miles southeast of Bermuda and is moving northward. Despite its weakened state, Leslie is still producing strong winds and heavy rainfall.
The National Hurricane Center is keeping a close eye on the storm’s trajectory and anticipate that Leslie will continue to weaken over the next few days. It is not expected to make landfall anywhere along the east coast of the United States.
Although Leslie is not a major threat at this time, residents in Bermuda are advised to monitor the storm’s progress and prepare for potential impacts. The storm could bring rough surf and dangerous rip currents to the area.
Leslie originally formed as a subtropical storm in early September and has fluctuated in strength since then. The storm has been meandering in the central Atlantic for weeks, posing a potential threat to shipping interests.
Overall, Tropical Storm Leslie is not expected to cause significant damage or disruption, but it serves as a reminder of the unpredictable nature of tropical weather systems. Residents in Bermuda and along the east coast of the United States should stay informed and prepared for any potential changes in the storm’s path.
As always, it is important to follow the advice and warnings of local authorities and meteorologists to stay safe during hurricane season.
