Hurricane Lee sets sights on New England
FOX 13 Meteorologist Jim Weber is keeping an eye on three areas in the tropics, including Hurricane Lee, which is expected to make landfall in New England on Saturday.

According to Weber, hurricane watches and tropical storm warnings have been posted ahead of Lee’s arrival over the weekend. Weber says Hurricane Margot is doing loops in the Atlantic and will eventually fade away. He’s also watching Invest 97, which is on the cusp of becoming the next tropical system. If it earns a name, it will be called Nigel.

Hurricane Lee takes aim at Canada
FOX 13 Meteorologist Jim Weber is keeping an eye on three areas in the tropics, including Hurricane Lee, Hurricane Margot and Invest 98.Weber says he does not expect anything to come from Invest 98 in the short term, but notes that it has a 70 percent chance of developing over the next week. He says Hurricane Margot is moving to the north and will stay out to sea. While Hurricane Lee remains a major hurricane, Weber says it is looking a bit ragged as it encounters wind shear. He says Hurricane Lee will gradually begin to weaken as it works its way over cooler waters on its journey north toward Canada and New England.
