NHC – Tropical Storm Lee, situated at 13.2 degrees North and 41.8 degrees West, is rapidly intensifying, poised to become an extremely dangerous hurricane by the weekend.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

With maximum sustained winds of 45 mph and a west-northwest movement at 16 mph, Lee is expected to maintain this trajectory with a slight reduction in speed.<\/p>\n

Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 70 miles from its center.<\/p>

No watches or warnings are currently in effect, but Leeward Islands residents should monitor its progress.<\/p>

Lee is likely to reach hurricane status within days and could escalate to a major hurricane by Friday.<\/p>\n
