REMEMBER WHEN A TROPICAL STORM OR HURRICANE IS APPROACHING: Taping windows is *not* recommended & will not keep glass from breaking. Instead close curtains & blinds.
** A strong tropical wave over the Eastern Atlantic has a good chance to develop while moving over the Central Atlantic....’ - that moved off the coast of Africa this past weekend and was upgraded to tropical depression #13 Tue. morning then to tropical stormTue. afternoon & then to a hurricane Wed. afternoon. The hurricane rapidly intensified Thu. becoming a Cat. 4 last Thu. afternoon then a Cat. 5 later Thu. night creating great hoopla & unwarranted scary headlines.
Lee will slowly wind down through Thu. BUT will be increasing in size. Lee will move over some of the cooled wake from Franklin & even Idalia by Thu. which should cause some additional weakening along with potential upwelling underneath a slow moving large hurricane. Nearby dry air has also been eating away on some of the western part of the circulation.
The core of Lee will stay west of Bermuda but there will still be strong winds, a few rain bands & very rough seas & surf for the island Wed. through Thu. given the large “wing span” of Lee.
