The work week ahead, along with the latter 2/3rds of Sunday look to be fantastic, we’ll just have to get through the gray skies and showers today. Could we have some mischief forming by the Florida Peninsula this week?
There will be scattered showers across the area for your Saturday, but much drier air moves in by Sunday. After that, the work week ahead will be fantastic.
Hurricane Lee should weaken to tropical storm status before reaching Nova Scotia Saturday afternoon. It will bring tropical storm conditions to parts of New England starting this evening. Winds could gust to 70 mph along the coast of Maine tomorrow. Tropical depression 15 will become a major hurricane by early next week.
Hurricane Lee will bring tropical storm force winds, storm surge, and heavy rains to parts of New England.
***NO VIDEO TODAY*** The European has been hinting at a potential landfall in New England for Hurricane Lee by next weekend. We probably will be dealing with another hurricane off the East Coast of the U.S. by late in week two around September 23-24.
For much of the area, there is plenty of sunshine to go around. There are a few locations that are getting a few raindrops as we have hit the midday hour.
No video this morning due to computer issues, but here is what I have. A few showers and storms will be possible this weekend; but hang on, Fall will be moving in on Wednesday.
After an amazing 24 hours of strengthening that saw Lee intensify 55 mph from 75 to 130 mph and its central pressure estimate to drop from 991 mb to 953 mb, Lee may already be a Category Five hurricane.
The actual forecast from the NHC calls for it to reach Category Five status late tonight.
Tropical Depression number 14 has formed but it is not expected to be a threat to any land areas. Hurricane Lee’s eventual destination is less certain and there could be impacts to Bermuda or the northeastern coast of the U.S. or Atlantic Canada.
Lee is expected to become a powerful hurricane in coming days, and interests along the East Coast from the Outer Banks north should monitor its progress.
