TROPICS: Hurricane Lee Continues To Strengthen
Lee is now a major Category 5 hurricane with winds of 160 mph in the central Atlantic. The storm continues to rapidly intensify. We will need to watch the track of Lee closely as the storm gets closer to the United States next week
FORECAST TRACK: Lee will track northwest next several days. By next Tuesday evening, the storm will be several hundred miles south of Bremuda and still out in the open Atlantic
“Possible” Long Range Forecast Tracks Later Next Week
Each white line represents a computer model forecast track. Notice how by the latter part of next week, a lot of those predicted tracks are clustered just offshore of New England. What does it mean??…..It means we need to monitor Lee next week to see if the storm trends closer or further offshore. Certainly, our local offshore fishing industry will need to monitor this too
