The Canadian Hurricane Centre says the track of Hurricane Lee could take it anywhere from Maine to southeastern Nova Scotia by this weekend.
In the Centre’s first statement on the storm released Monday, it says Lee will likely approach the Atlantic region as a weak hurricane or strong tropical storm that could dump heavy rain over the area.
The centre says that as the hurricane moves northward, it is expected to grow in size, but it is not expected to gain strength by merging with other weather systems.
Lee is expected to make a turn to the north on Wednesday, which will slow its progress and could weaken the storm as it lingers over cooler waters to the north. At this point it looks like the storm should hit land late Saturday night.
