Tropical storm-force winds extend outward just 45 miles from the storm’s center, according to the National Hurricane Center in Miami, which is monitoring the storm after it re-entered the Eastern Pacific basin Tuesday. The fifth Atlantic hurricane of the season and 13th storm was about 190 miles northeast of Curacao and was traveling west at 15 mph with 75 mph sustained winds, according to the center.
