will be determined in part by high pressure off to the east and a trough off to the west. "The exact positioning of the storm and level of impacts we'll see in the U.S. "If you live on the Cape of Massachusetts or Maine, keep a close eye on Lee as we head into the weekend, as you are now in the cone," Weather Channel meteorologist Stephane Abrams said Tuesday on "CBS Mornings." However, if no cold front forms, Parkinson explained, Lee would then potentially stay out at sea for a longer period until it reaches Newfoundland and Labrador in Canada.Ĭhris Warren, meteorologist for The Weather Channel, said Friday that "regardless" of Lee's path, it will still bring "large waves and dangerous rip currents up and down the East Coast." Will Hurricane Lee hit the Northeast? One would involve a cold front coming off the East Coast that could trap Lee and push it north against the coastline, bringing potentially stormy weather to areas along the coast. Parkinson laid out a few possible scenarios for Lee. Lots of erosion can be expected in Cape Cod and Nantucket," he said, with winds gusting in the range of at least 50 or 60 mph, and at least 4 inches of rain drenching eastern New England. "We should expect a pretty decent amount of coastal flooding, especially in places that get battered by nor'easters, as waves at the beach will be in the 12-foot range in spots. By that point, he said, it would have weakened to a tropical or post-tropical storm. "Realistically, this looks like a Nova Scotia landfall (as it has all along) with a healthy chance (~25%) of a down east Maine landfall on Saturday/early Sunday," he noted on Tuesday.
landfall and a 1/3 chance of landfall along the northeast U.S.
