Hurricane-force winds could threaten Cape Cod, Downeast Maine, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia by the weekend. Farther inland, tropical storm conditions are possible. Here’s a look at different possible outcomes.
Hurricane Lee continues to churn north as a powerful storm over the open ocean, retaining major hurricane status as of 8 a.m. Eastern. While the forecast will become clearer in coming days, the forecast track has shifted west over the last 24 hours, and a farther west track is looking increasingly likely at this point — which could mean growing concern in New England.Hurricane-force winds could threaten Cape Cod, Downeast Maine, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia by the weekend.
There are three main scenarios that appear on the table at this point. Here, we break them down and outline different outcomes.Lee is a powerhouse hurricane. It still had 115 mph winds Wednesday morning, but its wind field was expanding. Think of an ice skater outstretching their arms while spinning — they would slow down, since they’re tracing bigger circles. Same thing with Lee.
Most of coastal Maine and the New Hampshire Seacoast would see gusts of 40 to 50 mph, with a few 55 to 70 mph gusts in Downeast Maine.than the inside of Cape Cod, where a 2- to 4-foot storm surge would be possible in Barnstable and toward the Mid-Cape. In the Gulf of Maine, gusts up to 35 or 40 mph would be possible, with a few gusts to 45 mph in Downeast Maine. A more direct hit in Nova Scotia or even farther east would bring stronger winds there, but surge impacts would depend on where the storm’s center tracked.Scenario 3: The storm could hit Gulf of Maine/Downeast Maine
