Tropical Storm Lorenzo continues its path through the Atlantic Ocean with maximum sustained winds of 60 mph.

The storm's center was located 1,330 miles west of the Cabo Verde Islands, moving northwest at 15 mph. Forecasters expect this northwest motion to continue today, followed by a turn north tonight and a northeastward direction on Wednesday.

The National Hurricane Center reports little change in Lorenzo's strength is expected over the next day, though some gradual intensification remains possible later in the week. Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 175 miles from the storm's center.

Lorenzo poses no immediate threat to land as it tracks through the open Atlantic waters.
