“Hurricane Lee barreled over open waters Sunday night just northea
st of the Caribbean, unleashing heavy swell on several islands as it reg
ained some strength and expanded in size.
The Category 3 storm is not forecast to make landfall and is expected to s
tay over open waters through Friday. According to the latest hurricane tra
ck from the Canadian Hurricane Centre, the storm appears to be heading t
oward Nova Scotia.
Late Sunday, it was centred about 310 miles (500 kilometres) north of th
e northern Leeward Islands. Its maximum sustained winds were clocked at 12
0 mph (195 kph) and it was moving northwest at 8 mph (13 kph).
Last week, Lee strengthened from a Category 1 storm to a Category 5 stor
m in just one day.”
