"Potential Impact of Hurricane Lee on Florida, Boston, and the Northeast"
Hurricane Lee is expected to pass Florida far offshore, but it will produce heavy surf, rip currents, and beach erosion along the entire U.S. East Coast. While the Gulf and Southeast coasts are not at risk of landfall, Florida's football teams will bring the tropical impacts with them as they travel to New England. Hurricane Lee is currently a Category 3 hurricane with maximum sustained winds of 115 mph, and it is expected to impact the Northeast U.S. and Atlantic Canada. The storm will bring heavy rain, gusty winds, and the potential for flooding to coastal areas. Meanwhile, Hurricane Margot is meandering in the eastern subtropical Atlantic, and another tropical storm may develop between West Africa and the Lesser Antilles.
