Hurricane Lee is located about 300 miles northeast of the northern Leeward Islands. Whie it was once a category 5 storm, maximum sustained winds have been holding at 115 mph (category 3). Some fluctuations in strength are likely over the next few days and it's likely to regain category 4 status. The current forecast brings Lee northeast of the Bahamas by midweek before a likely northward turn around a ridge to its north. When and where this turn takes place will be critical to the forecast later in the week. While there is good model consensus this takes place, there's still a high degree of uncertainty due to several factors coming into play. The *likely* scenario at this time takes Lee west of Bermuda late in the coming week. Some model data suggests it could threaten New England or eastern Canada. Regardless of the exact track, coastal areas along the entire East Coast will feel impacts with high surf and dangerous rip currents, along with some beach erosion.
Tropical Storm Margot remains over the east-central Atlantic. It is expected to strengthen into a hurricane as it gradually tracks northward over the open waters of the Atlantic.
