Hurricane Lee tracker: Live track updates as East Coast braces for ‘life-threatening’ rip currents.

The National Hurricane Center said Typhoon Lee is likely to remain “major” and “dangerous” through the end of the week.

“Typhoon Li is expected to slowly weaken over the next few days, but Li is likely to remain a major and dangerous typhoon through the end of the week,” the center said.

“Lee’s projected post-tropical transition will not reduce the impacts of wind, rain, and potential coastal flooding in New England and Atlantic Canada due to the system’s broad wind range.”

Hurricane Lee is expected to weaken in the coming days as it enters cooler waters, but wind, rain and flooding are still expected in New England and Atlantic Canada.

Hurricane force winds extend up to 115 miles (185 kilometers) from the center of Lee, and tropical storm force winds extend up to 240 miles (390 kilometers), the center reported.

Meteorologists warned of dangerous waves and currents in the Lesser Antilles, the British and US Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, Hispaniola, the Turks and Caicos Islands, the Bahamas, Bermuda and parts of the southeastern coast of the United States. Conditions are expected to spread to the East Coast of the United States and Atlantic Canada in the coming days.

Hurricane Lee began moving away from the northern Caribbean on Wednesday as the Category 3 storm targeted Atlantic Canada and left large waves in its wake.

The storm was located about 475 miles (765 kilometers) southwest of Bermuda in the morning. Winds reached 115 mph (185 kph) and were moving northwest at 6 mph (9 kph).

Lee was expected to eventually pass west of Bermuda, prompting forecasters to issue a tropical storm warning for the island. Meteorologists said winds and heavy rain were expected to hit Bermuda starting late Wednesday or early Thursday.

A tropical storm is expected in Bermuda “early tomorrow,” the National Hurricane Center said.

This comes as a tropical storm warning was issued for Bermuda and the east coast of the United States, with heavy rain expected throughout Thursday.

The center said that Bermuda and the East Coast of the United States were preparing for “life-threatening” rip currents.

The National Hurricane Center also said the risk of wind, coastal flooding and rain increased in parts of New England and Atlantic Canada due to Hurricane Lee.

On the forecast track, Lee’s center will pass west of Bermuda on Thursday before approaching the coast of New England or Atlantic Canada late this week.

The National Hurricane Center said early Wednesday morning that Lee is now a “very large hurricane” and producing large waves that will impact parts of the western Atlantic throughout the week.

Hurricane Lee slammed into northern Puerto Rico on Tuesday as a Category 3 storm, and forecasters indicated it would remain in open waters through this week as it makes its way to Atlantic Canada.

The storm is located 575 miles (925 kilometers) south of Bermuda. Winds were gusting to 115 mph (185 km/h) and were moving west-northwest at 7 mph (11 km/h).

By Sunday, Hurricane Lee is expected to weaken to a tropical storm and potentially make landfall in Nova Scotia, Canada, according to AccuWeather.

Hurricane Lee is expected to make landfall in Canada as a tropical storm, meteorologists said.

Hurricane Lee is scheduled to reach Nova Scotia, Canada, on Sunday, bringing widespread winds and flooding.

On the forecast track, Lee’s center will pass west of Bermuda on Thursday before approaching the coast of New England or Atlantic Canada late this week.

Dangerous waves and rip currents are expected to continue to impact areas around the western Atlantic through the end of the week, the National Hurricane Center said.

Portions of the Northern Leeward Islands, Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, Hispaniola, Turks and Caicos Islands, Bahamas, Bermuda, and most of the East Coast will be affected throughout most of the week.

This comes as a tropical storm warning was issued for Bermuda and the east coast of the United States, with heavy rain expected throughout Thursday.

The National Hurricane Center said early Wednesday morning that Lee is now a “very large hurricane” and producing large waves that will impact parts of the western Atlantic throughout the week.

Hurricane Lee is expected to weaken in the coming days as it enters colder waters, the National Hurricane Center said.

“Despite expected weakening, keep in mind that Lee’s expanding wind field will produce impacts very far from the center of the storm,” the center said.

Lee was generating dangerous waves and rip currents in the Lesser Antilles, the British and US Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, Hispaniola, the Turks and Caicos Islands, the Bahamas, Bermuda, and parts of the southeastern coast of the United States. These conditions were expected to soon spread to the East Coast of the United States.

“It is still too early to know what level of additional impacts Lee may have along the northeastern coast of the United States and Atlantic Canada late this week and this weekend,” the National Hurricane Center said.
