LEslie is currently making its way across the Atlantic and has now become a Category 1 hurricane, although there is no threat to land.

According to an advisory issued by the National Hurricane Center (NHC) at 10 a.m. EST Saturday morning, “Leslie is currently moving toward the west-northwest at 7 miles per hour this evening and will continue through Tuesday,” the NHC said.

The storm’s maximum wind speeds have increased slightly to 80 mph since Friday, with stronger gusts. The NHC has said that while the storm could strengthen slightly by Saturday, it is expected to gradually weaken starting Sunday.

The storm formed in the Atlantic on Wednesday but strengthened into a Category 1 hurricane on Friday.

There are no coast guards or warnings.

Leslie, the 12th storm to form in the Atlantic in 2024, is not far behind Hurricane Kirk in an unexpectedly busy hurricane season that followed the devastating impact of Hurricane Helene.

Kirk, currently a Category 3 hurricane, is causing storm surges to affect the Leeward Islands, Bermuda and the Greater Antilles. According to the NHC, “These waves are expected to spread westward to the East Coast of the United States, Atlantic Canada and the Bahamas on Saturday evening and Sunday, and to the Azores on Monday.”

The NHC is also tracking the development of Tropical Storm Milton, which “will strengthen next week, bringing the risk of life-threatening impacts to portions of Florida’s west coast.”
