"Tropical Storm Peter formed Tuesday in the Atlantic Ocean, the second
named storm to develop since the Atlantic hurricane season ended Dec. 1.

Peter was in the far eastern Atlantic on Tuesday morning, about 800 miles
west-northwest of the Cape Verde Islands and posed no threat to land, the
National Hurricane Center said. It had winds of 45 mph and was moving
toward the north-northeast at 12 mph. It is expected to dissipate within a
day.

Peter follows Tropical Storm Odette, which flooded portions of the
Dominican Republic last weekend, killing eight.

This is the first time since 1887 that two tropical storms have formed in
the Atlantic basin during December, the hurricane center said."
