Tropical Storm Lee, the season’s 12th named storm, is on the move having formed over the central Atlantic, Tuesday afternoon. Initial winds are estimated to be 45 mph (with higher gusts). As the storm continues to move west-northwest, it’s likely to get stronger and become a major hurricane by the end of the week!Lee is far from land and the current forecast has no land areas within the 5-day cone.

The main question we’ve been receiving in the 7 Weather Center? “Does south Florida need to wor...
