Hurricane Lee's Uncertain Path Threatens New England with Dangerous Surf and Strong Winds

Hurricane Lee, currently a Category 3 storm, is expected to pass near Bermuda before continuing northward towards New England. While a U.S. landfall is not expected, New England residents should prepare for potential impacts including tropical-storm-force winds, dangerous surf, and life-threatening rip currents. Lee is forecasted to weaken and become extratropical, resembling a nor'easter rather than a hurricane. Coastal areas of Massachusetts and Maine may experience rain and winds of 40 mph or greater, with the risk of beach erosion and coastal flooding. A Tropical Storm Watch has been issued for Bermuda, and residents in New England are advised to monitor Lee's progress and make necessary preparations.
