Tropical Storm Ida Remains Poorly Organized Over the Atlantic

The U.S. National Hurricane Center says Tropical Storm Ida remains poorly organized as it meanders over the central tropical Atlantic.

The storm's maximum sustained winds Wednesday are 40 mph (65 kph) with little change in strength forecast through Thursday night.

The storm is centered about 1,055 miles (1,700 kilometers) east of the northern Leeward Islands and is moving south at 5 mph (7 kph).

The hurricane center, in Miami, says the storm's eastward drift is likely to continue today, with a gradual turn to the north predicted to begin Thursday.

The storm poses no current major threats to land.
