However, the hurricane center urged those in the Leeward Islands to keep a close eye on the storm: “The track guidance continues to show that the core of Lee will pass to the north of the northern Leeward Islands, however interests in those islands should continue to monitor the latest forecasts as the typical three- and four-day NHC track errors are about 90 and 125 nautical miles, respectively.”
As of 10 a.m. CDT Wednesday, Tropical Storm Lee was located about 1,200 miles east of the northern Leeward Islands and was moving west-northwest at 14 mph. The hurricane center on Wednesday was also monitoring two other areas for potential development, but neither was a threat to the U.S.
