Tropical Storm Rina continued its lonely track deeper into the Atlantic on Tuesday.

The National Hurricane Center said Rina, the 17th named storm in the Atlantic this year, is no threat to land.

As of 9 a.m. CST Tuesday, Tropical Storm Rina was located about 905 miles east of Bermuda and was moving north at 15 mph.

Rina was maintaining winds of 40 mph, making it a minimal tropical storm. The hurricane center said the storm could get a bit stronger over the next 48 hours, but Rina isn't expected to become a hurricane.

The hurricane center's intensity forecast suggests Rina could max out with 50 mph winds before transitioning to an extratropical storm on Thursday.

The Atlantic has already had enough hurricanes this year -- 10, according to the hurricane center. And six of those 10 were major hurricanes, which are Category 3 or stronger storms.

The strongest of the bunch was Hurricane Irma, with top sustained winds of 185 mph, according to the hurricane center.

Except for Rina, the rest of the Atlantic appeared quiet on Tuesday, according to the hurricane center, with no potential storms on the board.

The official end of hurricane season is Nov. 30.
