"Hurricane Lee's Uncertain Path and Potential Impact on the US East Coast"

Hurricane Lee, currently a Category 3 storm, is approaching the U.S. coastline, causing concern for millions of people. However, there is a good chance that Lee will not make a direct impact on the East Coast. The National Hurricane Center's forecast shows that Lee is expected to turn northward parallel to the coast, still well offshore. The exact path of the storm is uncertain and will depend on the interactions between various weather systems. While Florida is likely to be spared from direct impacts, the northeastern U.S. and Canada should remain alert and monitor the forecast. Rip currents are a significant risk along the East Coast. Advanced forecast models indicate that Lee will turn north, but the exact track could vary slightly. It is too early to determine the potential impacts on New England, but if Lee were to make landfall, storm surge would be a significant threat.
