Leslie is centered about 490 miles (790 kilometers) south-southeast of Bermuda and is moving north-northwest near 2 mph (4 kph).
Swells generated by Leslie will continue affecting Bermuda, the U.S. East Coast, the northern Leeward Islands, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands. The swells could cause life-threatening surf and rip currents.
Farther out, Tropical Storm Michael is moving slowly north in the Atlantic but poses no threat to land. Michael's maximum sustained winds are near 50 mph (85 kph).
