目前正在大西洋上肆虐的飓风李预计将迅速增强为极其危险的大飓风。
“李”在周三从热带风暴增强为飓风,到周五可能会成为主要飓风,到周六可能会成为风速高达每小时150英里的4级飓风。
李目前位于背风群岛以东1200英里处。
目前预计李在周末将向加勒比群岛北部移动,除了汹涌的海浪和激流之外,不会对群岛造成任何直接影响。
到下周,意大利面条模型显示李在到达特克斯和凯科斯之前转向北方。百慕大可能在李的路线上。
长期模式可能会在下周改变,但他们目前显示李平行于东海岸移动。如果李继续沿着这条路线,东海岸将不会看到直接的影响,但下周晚些时候将会受到巨大的海浪和撕裂流的袭击。
Hurricane Lee: Projected path, maps and hurricane tracker
Hurricane Lee, now churning in the Atlantic, is forecast to quickly intensify to an extremely dangerous major hurricane.
Lee, which strengthened from a tropical storm to a hurricane on Wednesday, will likely become a major hurricane by Friday and a Category 4 hurricane with winds up to 150 mph by Saturday.
Lee is currently 1,200 miles east of the Leeward Islands.
Lee is currently expected to move north of the Caribbean Islands over the weekend, sparing the islands any direct impacts other than rough surf and rip currents.
By next week, the spaghetti models show Lee turning north before reaching Turks and Caicos. Bermuda may be in Lee's path.
Long-range models can change over the next week, but they currently show Lee moving parallel to the East Coast. If Lee stays on that course, the East Coast wouldn't see direct impacts, but would be hit with large surf and rip currents by late next week.
