Hurricane Lee’s Size Continues to Increase in the Atlantic Ahead of Pivotal Turn

Hurricane Lee increased in size late Monday in the Atlantic and still is expected to grow significantly this week, forecasters say – growth that will help determine the extent of its impact on the US Northeast, Bermuda and Canada.

Lee, a Category 3 hurricane on Tuesday morning, was centered about 575 miles south of Bermuda with maximum sustained winds of 115 mph, the National Hurricane Center said. It could strengthen slightly Tuesday and is then expected to weaken, grow in size and speed up after it makes its northward turn in the coming days.
