The National Hurricane Center says Tropical Storm Lee is forecast to strengthen rapidly into an „extremely dangerous“ major hurricane this weekend as it nears the Lesser Antilles and Caribbean.
Tropical Storm Lee has formed in the Atlantic Ocean and forecasters say it’s expected to strengthen rapidly into a major hurricane by this weekend.
In its last advisory, the National Hurricane Center said Lee has winds of 45 mph and is moving toward the Leeward Islands. Forecasters are already using stark language about the storm and its prospects.
„It is becoming a question of when and not if rapid intensification occurs with Lee,“ the advisory noted.
