Miami , Florida ( CNN ) -- A disorganized Tropical Storm Tomas limped toward the central Caribbean Monday , but forecasters said the storm could re-intensify into a rare November hurricane later this week . As of 5 p.m. Monday , the center of Tomas was about 65 miles ( 105 kilometers ) north-northeast of Aruba and about 400 miles ( 640 kilometers ) south-southeast of Port-au-Prince , Haiti . It had maximum sustained winds of 45 mph ( 75 kph ) , with higher gusts , and was moving west at 12 mph ( 19 kph ) . No coastal watches or warnings were in effect associated with Tomas , according to the Miami , Florida-based National Hurricane Center . But the center urged residents of Jamaica , the Dominican Republic and Haiti to keep an eye on the storm , which is expected to continue westward over the next day or two and slow down . Tracking maps show that Tomas could take a sharp turn to the northeast and approach Haiti later in the week , possibly as a Category 1 hurricane . The storm could deal another blow to the island nation , which is still recovering from a devastating January earthquake and currently battling a cholera outbreak . But `` Tomas could still hit anywhere from the Dominican Republic to eastern Cuba , '' CNN meteorologist Taylor Ward said . Tropical storm-force winds extend out 140 miles ( 220 kilometers ) from Tomas ' center , mainly to the east , the Hurricane Center said . Tomas is expected to continue weakening , but `` restrengthening could begin by late Tuesday , '' forecasters said . The forecast track for Tomas , a storm which formed in late October , is typical for November hurricanes , CNN meteorologist Bonnie Schneider wrote on a blog for HLN 's `` Morning Express . '' Although hurricanes are less likely to form in November , `` the month is n't always hurricane-free , '' Schneider said . `` Two fairly recent November hurricanes include Hurricane Lenny in 1999 and Hurricane Michelle in 2001 . '' September is usually the most likely month for tropical storm formation , according to Schneider . But `` often this time of year , the westerly wind is strong enough to steer the storms out to sea into the Atlantic , rather than northwestward into the Gulf of Mexico . '' The Atlantic hurricane season ends November 30 . Tomas lashed the Caribbean island of St. Vincent over the weekend , prompting about 1,000 people to enter shelters . Two people were injured , including one critically , when they tried to repair roof damage during the storm , said Michelle Forbes , acting director of National Emergency Management . Tomas also left downed trees that blocked many roads , Forbes said , and large areas of the island lacked power . More than 100 homes sustained roof damage , she said , and authorities expected the number to rise . CNN Radio 's Matt Cherry contributed to this report .
