Tropical Weather Forecast - September 6, 2023

Lee is now a Category 1 hurricane and is expected to become a very dangerous major hurricane by Friday. Lee should stay north of the Caribbean Sea but could bring some impacts to parts of the Lesser Antilles & Puerto Rico by this weekend. Next week hurricane Lee could bring some impacts to the US east coast. But most models have Lee turning north before making a direct landfall on the US east coast. Another strong Tropical wave in the far east Atlantic still has a good shot to become a Tropical Depression or Tropical Storm over the next 7 days. Gulf of Mexico remains quiet for now.
