According to climatological experts, Hurricane Lee possesses the potential to ascend to the esteemed status of the inaugural Category 5 storm within the Atlantic hurricane season, provided it undergoes further intensification. On Thursday, the hurricane rapidly traversed into the expanse of unobstructed aquatic terrain.

Lee was anticipated to undergo a trajectory that would result in its proximity to the northeastern Caribbean region. The anticipated trajectory of the storm did not indicate landfall, however, climatologists cautioned that the affected islands may experience the development of tropical storm conditions. According to meteorological experts, it is currently premature to definitively determine the specific characteristics of precipitation and wind gusts that can be anticipated.
The tropical cyclone, classified as a Category 2 storm, was located approximately 1,405 kilometers (or 1,870 miles) to the east of the northern Leeward Islands.

According to the center's analysis, subsequent to its initial landfall in the Lesser Antilles on Friday, the impending arrival of perilous waves is anticipated in the Bahamas, Bermuda, Puerto Rico, Hispaniola, and the British and U.S. Virgin Islands during the upcoming weekend.

The annual Atlantic hurricane season commences on June 1st and concludes on November 30th, with its peak intensity typically observed during the month of September. Lee has been designated as the twelfth named storm within the current season.
