Hurricane Lee updates
SUMMARY: Hurricane Lee, a Category 3 storm, is currently in open waters north of the Caribbean and is not expected to make landfall this week. However, residents of New England and nearby areas are advised to stay alert as Lee is predicted to slowly turn northward in the coming days. Lee is located about 430 miles southwest of Bermuda with maximum sustained winds of 115 mph. While it is expected to weaken, it will increase in size, leading to hazardous conditions extending beyond the storm center. Bermuda could experience wind, rain, and high surf, and the US East Coast is warned of dangerous surf and rip currents. Hurricane Margot is also being monitored as it moves toward the Azores, and a disturbance in the eastern tropical Atlantic has a high chance of forming into a tropical depression.
