HURRICANE LEE WILL CONTINUE TO TRACK NORTH OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF
DAYS, MOVING WEST OF BERMUDA LATE TODAY AND EARLY FRIDAY, BEFORE
TRACKING EAST OF SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND ON SATURDAY. DUE TO THE
LARGE SIZE OF THE SYSTEM, HAZARDS WILL EXTEND WELL AWAY FROM THE
CENTER. THIS INCLUDES TROPICAL STORM CONDITIONS WHICH ARE
POSSIBLE IN PORTIONS OF COASTAL NEW ENGLAND, INCLUDING CAPE COD,
NANTUCKET, MARTHA'S VINEYARD, AND BLOCK ISLAND BEGINNING FRIDAY
NIGHT. BY EARLY SATURDAY, TROPICAL STORM CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED
TO REACH AS FAR NORTH AS DOWN EAST MAINE. AS THE STORM TRACKS
NORTH, THERE IS THE POTENTIAL FOR LIFE-THREATENING STORM SURGE
FLOODING IN PORTIONS OF SOUTHEASTERN MASSACHUSETTS, INCLUDING CAPE
COD AND NANTUCKET LATE FRIDAY AND SATURDAY. SWELLS GENERATED BY
LEE CONTINUE TO AFFECT MUCH OF THE EAST COAST -- PRODUCING
LIFE-THREATENING SURF AND RIP CURRENT CONDITIONS.
A SERIES OF UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCES INTERACTING WITH A MOIST
ATMOSPHERE WILL CONTINUE TO PRODUCE ROUNDS OF SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS FROM EASTERN NEW MEXICO, ACROSS MUCH OF TEXAS, AND
PORTIONS OF OKLAHOMA. HEAVY RAINFALL AMOUNTS ARE POSSIBLE AND
FLOODING MAY OCCUR ESPECIALLY ACROSS ANY AREAS WHERE MULTIPLE
ROUNDS OF STORMS DEVELOP. ISOLATED STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS,
PRODUCING DAMAGING WIND AND HAIL ARE ALSO POSSIBLE.
FARTHER NORTH, A COLD FRONT ACCOMPANIED BY SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS WILL ADVANCE EAST FROM THE NORTHERN PLAINS INTO THE
UPPER GREAT LAKES, WHILE SAGGING SOUTH THROUGH THE CENTRAL PLAINS
AND ROCKIES. HEAVY RAINFALL AMOUNTS ARE POSSIBLE, ESPECIALLY FOR
PORTIONS OF THE CENTRAL ROCKIES, WHICH MAY RESULT IN LOCALIZED
FLOODING.
