A gyre, an area of ​​rotating air currents, is expected to form over Central America next week. “From this large, slowly rotating area of ​​low pressure, a more distinct area of ​​showers and thunderstorms may form, and from there a tropical depression or tropical storm may develop,” AccuWeather hurricane expert Alex DaSilva said in the forecast.

Where is Tropical Storm Leslie?

Leslie was designated a tropical storm on October 2 and strengthened into Hurricane Leslie, then weakened again to a tropical storm on Thursday. On Saturday, the National Hurricane Center said Leslie – about 900 miles (1,500 kilometers) west-southwest of the Azores – had weakened into a trough and posed no threat to the US.

The storm is producing maximum sustained winds of nearly 50 miles per hour, with higher gusts, and is expected to gradually weaken over the coming days, the NHC said.
