Forecasters say Hurricane Lee will likely cause rough surf and dangerous rip currents up and down the eastern seaboard, including the Jersey Shore.
“If Lee tracks farther to the west before its northward turn, areas north of the Carolinas — particularly eastern New England and Atlantic Canada — could be more at risk of rain, wind and coastal flooding,”. “If the storm turns more abruptly, it would track more to the east and lessen the risk to the entire Eastern Seaboard.”
This graphic from AccuWeather shows the trend of risks posed by Hurricane Lee this week. The risk has gotten higher for New England.This graphic from AccuWeather shows the areas in the eastern United States that may face beach hazards from Hurricane Lee during the next few days. Forecasters say the Jersey Shore also is likely to face large ocean swells, dangerous rip currents and potential beach erosion from Lee, even though it will be hundreds of miles away.
The agency says even though Lee is hundreds of miles away from the United States, “dangerous surf and rip currents have begun to affect portions of the southeastern U.S. coast, and these conditions are forecast to spread northward along much of the U.S. East Coast during the next couple of days.”Thank you for relying on us to provide the local weather news you can trust.
