The Weather Channel reports:
Hurricane Lee is rapidly intensifying and is forecast to reach Category 5 intensity by Friday, then pass north of the Leeward Islands, but its future beyond that is uncertain regarding potential impacts later next week in Bermuda, Atlantic Canada and possibly parts of the Northeast Seaboard.
Hurricane Lee is centered more than 700 miles east of the northern Leeward Islands, and is moving west-northwest. Lee became a Category 4 Thursday evening and further intensification is expected.
One certainty with Lee’s track, regardless of exactly where it goes, is that it will generate dangerous high surf, rip currents, some coastal flooding, even beach erosion along the Eastern Seaboard next week. That’s particularly the case from the Southeast U.S. to New England.

Over the course of a 12-hour time-span, Hurricane Lee rapidly-intensified from a category 1 to a category 4 storm.

Be informed. Get a…

Here’s what we know about #Lee: It will be in the region near/off the New England coast in 8-9 days (9/15-9/16).
A hurricane in its current position has a 5-10% historical probability of making landfall in New England. Low, but enough to watch until we know its track for sure. pic.twitter.com/S0kf9MArwL

#HurricaneLee is now packing winds of 130 mph.
Most computer forecast guidance curves #Lee toward the north as it approaches the Bahamas. Even if it doesn’t make landfall on the U.S., it could still send swells to the coast. https://t.co/Ec7eFI8BiR pic.twitter.com/FISf2l0vYL
