A new tropical storm formed Thursday afternoon. Leslie is in the middle of the Atlantic and will not have an impact on the United States. It is expected to become a hurricane as it moves over the open Atlantic waters and turns in a path like tropical storm Kyle. With Leslie developing today, this season is the quickest 12 named storms have formed except for the 1995 season when Hurricane Luis formed at the end of August. Every tropical depression has resulted in a tropical storm so far.
