ATLANTIC OCEAN — Tropical Storm Lee has formed in the Atlantic Ocean.
It is expected to become a powerful hurricane as it moves West through the tropical Atlantic. Current computer models continue to turn this storm early as it approaches the East Coast.
Well as expected #Lee is officially on the map. Models start the turning process pretty early...let's hope that continues!!!!! pic.twitter.com/0mfSpzQ43o
