‘Lee’ Explodes To Category 4 Hurricane

In about a 12-hour timeframe, Hurricane Lee rapidly intensified from a Category 1 to Category 4 storm on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale.

The National Hurricane Center’s latest update said, “Lee becomes a category 4 major hurricane. Dangerous surf and life-threatening rip currents are likely in the Leeward Islands, Puerto Rico, Bahamas and along the east coast of the U.S.”

Weather Channel meteorologist Jim Cantore said, “Another cat5 on the way… Almost a double rapid intensifier. Impressive to say the least.”

Cantore continued, “Still much to be watched into next week as steering sets up. Any potential direct USA impacts would be likely a week away.”
