Tropical-storm-force winds and dangerous surf are expected. Down East Maine may be among the hardest-hit areas.
Sept. 15 marks the historical peak of hurricane season, and it comes as no surprise that a massive, sprawling Category 1 hurricane is lurking just off the Eastern Seaboard. Lee, a long-lived hurricane that became the season’s first Category 5 exactly a week ago, now has 85 mph winds, and it has prompted warnings in New England ahead of its weekend arrival.Tropical storm warnings are up from Westport, Mass., all the way to the Canadian border, including Cape Cod, Nantucket and Martha’s Vineyard.
Tropical-storm-force winds could reach easternmost New England as early as late Friday afternoon, with the worst storm effects expected Friday night into Saturday. Rain and wind should ease starting Saturday afternoon in southern New England and Saturday night in Maine. On infrared satellite, Lee was a shell of its former self. It had a haggard, lopsided appearance, with all the “convection,” or thunderstorm activity, completely eroded from its south side by dry air. The strongest winds were found only north of the decaying system’s center.
