Hurricane Lee Setting Its Sights on New England and Atlantic Canada
....As Lee continues to track north, tropical storm conditions are
possible across a large portion of coastal New England beginning
Friday
night...
...Life-threatening storm surge flooding possible in portions of
southeastern Massachusetts beginning late Friday...
...Unsettled weather, with heavy rain and strong storms possible, to
continue into the weekend over the southern Plains...
Hurricane Lee will continue to track north over the next couple of
days, moving west of Bermuda late today and early Friday, before
tracking east of southern New England on Saturday. Due to the large
size of the system, hazards will extend well away from the center.
This includes tropical storm conditions which are possible in portions
of coastal New England, including Cape Cod, Nantucket, Martha's
Vineyard, and Block Island beginning Friday night. By early Saturday,
tropical storm conditions are expected to reach as far north as Down
East Maine. As the storm tracks north, there is the potential for life-threatening storm surge flooding in portions of southeastern Massachusetts, including Cape Cod and Nantucket late Friday and
Saturday. Swells generated by lee continue to affect much of the East
Coast -- producing life-threatening surf and rip current conditions.
