Hurricane Lee weather update
September 8, 2023. 5 PM
Turks and Caicos Islands
The Weather Channel and NOAA graphics and information contributed to this report.

Powerful, dangerous Hurricane Lee trekking through the Atlantic and expected to pass close to the Turks and Caicos Islands next week.

At 500 PM AST (2100 UTC), the center of Hurricane Lee was located near latitude 18.9 North, longitude 55.5 West. Lee is moving toward the west-northwest near 13 mph (20 km/h), and this motion is expected to continue through early next week with a significant decrease in forward speed. On the forecast track, Lee is expected to pass well to the north of the northern Leeward Islands, the Virgin Islands, and Puerto Rico over the weekend and into early next week.

Maximum sustained winds are near 150 mph (240 km/h) with higher gusts. Lee is a category 4 hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale. Some fluctuations in intensity are likely over the next few days, however Lee is expected to remain a powerful major hurricane through early next week.

Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 35 miles (55 km) from the center and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 150 miles (240 km).

The estimated minimum central pressure is 942 mb (27.82 inches).

Dangerous surf and life-threatening rip currents are affecting portions of the northern Leeward Islands. These conditions will spread westward and northward, affecting Puerto Rico, Hispaniola, the Turks and Caicos, the Bahamas, and Bermuda through the weekend.

Article from the Weather Channel

Atlantic Basin current atmospheric conditions

The most likely system to develop into a tropical depression is the one closest to Africa on the map below. The system has been tagged Invest 98L and it could form this weekend amid generally favorable conditions.

To that system's west, the central Atlantic system, tagged Invest 99L, is producing showers and storms and it could slowly form into a tropical depression over the next several days.

Some slow development is also possible near the Lesser Antilles this weekend into next week. Regardless of development, showery weather is likely from Puerto Rico to Barbados, especially on Sunday.

Possible NHC Development
(The possible area(s) of tropical development according to the latest National Hurricane Center outlook are shown by polygons, color-coded by the chance of development over the next seven days. An "X" indicates the location of a current disturbance.). Atlantic waters are very warm, but dry air is abundant. Sea-surface temperatures in much of the tropical Atlantic continue to run well above average, which is a favorable factor for the formation of tropical storms.

But a factor that's counteracting the warm water for now is widespread dry air. This dry air is one of the reasons why the Atlantic has been mostly quiet since the final advisory was written for Tropical Storm Don over three weeks ago.

Dry, sinking air disrupts tropical systems by suppressing thunderstorms and strengthening downdrafts of storms that are able to form. That prevents thunderstorms from persisting long enough near a surface low-pressure center in order to keep the storm healthy.

Never miss an update – get breaking news delivered straight to your desktop or mobile phone.

It's typical to have one or more locations of possible development this time of year. These areas being watched for development are a reminder that we are heading into the heart of the hurricane season. Much of the season's tropical storm and hurricane activity occurs between mid-August and early October, as the graph below shows.

This uptick in tropical activity is a reminder to stay alert and check back frequently for the latest updates on the tropics in the coming weeks and months. We'll have many more disturbances like these to track from the Atlantic to the Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico.

Emily will be the name given to the next Atlantic storm.
