Tropical Weather Forecast - September 11, 2023

We are right around the peak of hurricane season and the Atlantic Basin remains fairly active with Hurricane Lee passing north of the Caribbean Islands as a major Category 3. It is expected to pass just west of Bermuda early Friday and get uncomfortably close to the US east coast, likely New England by Saturday. No direct landfall is expected in any of these areas, but dangerous surf & rip currents will be threats. Margot is close to becoming a hurricane but should stay north in the central Atlantic over open water. Two additional tropical waves are being monitored in the far east Atlantic with one having a decent chance to become our next tropical cyclone.
