Hurricane Lee is rapidly strengthening this afternoon and is now a category 2 storm on the Safer-Simpson scale and packing maximum sustained winds of 165 km/h. The storm is heading west-northwest at 24 km/h and the central pressure is 983 mb and falling. The storm is located 1405 km east of the northern Leeward Islands.
The 5-day forecast track for Lee continues to show the storm maintaining a west-northwest track, north of the Caribbean Islands. The storm will also become a large and extremely dangerous hurricane during that time frame. And will likely be the first category 5 storm in the Atlantic Basin this year.Beyond the 5-day forecast, there is relatively good agreement Lee will make a turn toward the north and eventually the northeast and will start to lose its punch as it leaves the warmer waters.
