Tropical Storm Peter has winds of 50 mph and is located 150 miles northeast of the northern Leeward Islands, according to the National Hurricane Center's latest advisory.

Meanwhile, Tropical Storm Rose also formed over the weekend and now has winds of 40 mph. It's located 705 miles west of the southernmost Cabo Verde Islands. Rose is forecast to continue its move north and away from land before dying out this weekend.
