Tropical Storm Warnings are now out for parts of the NE US including Boston in preparation for the arrival of Hurricane Lee. Hurricane watches are out for parts of eastern Maine as well with strong rip currents, dangerous surf, coastal flooding and high winds expected. Lee is now passing west of Bermuda with tropical storm warnings in place there. Lee has weakened to a category 1 hurricane but should reach New England by Saturday and impact parts of Canada as well this weekend. Hurricane Margot is also a category one but will meander in the central Atlantic through this weekend and not impact land. Invest 97-L in the central Atlantic has a 90% chance to become our next named storm which would be Nigel. This system could impact parts of the US East Coast by late next week.
