Lee expected to remain a strong hurricane this week.
Hurricane Lee is expected to move slowly to the northwest and then more to the north this week. The forecast cone includes Bermuda but no part of the U.S. as of Monday.Hurricane Lee remained a Category 3 hurricane with 120 mph winds on Monday morning as it tracked slowly to the northwest.
Bermuda is in the forecast cone, which shows where the center of the storm could go. The hurricane center thinks Lee will pass by the island to the west on Friday. The hurricane center continued to stress that it’s still too soon to speculate on that impact Lee could have on the U.S., aside from rough surf and rip currents along the East Coast.
Lee had sustained winds of 120 mph, making it a Category 3 hurricane. Lee peaked last week as a Category 5 storm with top winds of 165 mph. It could strengthen more, forecasters said, and become a Category 4 hurricane again in the next 24 hours or so.
