1:10 PM | **Hurricane Lee to soon take a turn to the north… impact likely in eastern New England this weekend with heavy rains, strong winds…an active tropical scene at climatological peak of season** — Arcfield Weather

Looking down the road, there is another tropical system in the eastern Atlantic Ocean that has the likelihood of intensifying in coming days as it treks across the tropical Atlantic. There are some signs that this system may ultimately pose a threat to the Northeast US, but that is all in the “speculation phase” right now and there are many days to go to iron out those details. An interesting thing to monitor in coming days will be to see if the passage of Hurricane Lee generates a “cold wake” (through upwelling) that could ultimately have an impact on the next tropical system.

The mid-September climatological peak of the Atlantic Basin season is certainly living up to its billing in 2023.
