MIAMI (AP) — Tropical Storm Odette formed Friday off the mid-Atlantic coast and is expected to weaken Saturday night as it approaches eastern Canada.
Odette was traveling to the northeast at 15 mph (24 kph) Friday evening and was located about 225 miles (365 kph) southeast of Cape May, New Jersey, according to the National Hurricane Center in Miami. It had maximum sustained winds of 40 mph (65 kph).
Swells generated by the storm are affecting parts of the mid-Atlantic coast and will cause dangerous conditions off the coasts of the Northeast U.S. and parts of Canada over the weekend, forecasters said.
No tropical storm warnings or watches were issued.
