Miami (CNN) -- Tropical Storm Ophelia changed little as it moved west over the central Atlantic, but posed no immediate threat to land, forecasters said.
Ophelia's maximum sustained winds were shy of hurricane strength, at 60 mph, as of late Wednesday. Its strength was not expected to change much over the next 48 hours, said the Miami-based National Hurricane Center.
The storm was about 1,065 miles east of the Leeward Islands. It was moving west at about 15 mph, forecasters said. No coastal watches or warnings were in effect.
Tropical storm-force winds of at least 39 mph extended outward up to about 230 miles from Ophelia's center, the Hurricane Center said.
