Tropical Hurricane Lee

One issue I can already see from this EURO run is that it initializes the storm way too weak at 993mb. I think we can all look and agree right now that this is likely a major hurricane at this point.
 
Big difference on the trough over the GL at Hr 140 ish when comparing the euro/ukmet camp to the gfs. GFS to positive tilt
 
Really hope this stays out to sea. This is going to be a monster. I think we're seeing it becoming more and more the norm for these hurricanes to explode quickly in our current climate. Scary.

Agreed. I think we'll probably know by Saturday or Sunday if this truly stays out to sea. Only a few adjustments in the trough could taken Lee horrifyingly close to New England.

Forecast now maxes out at 165 mph too this advisory. Have to see if the HAFS is right in 24 hours but I'm not sure a 200 mph storm will happen.

It's definitely gonna be hard in that area. Irma topped out at 180 in a similar spot. Dorian was 185 in the Bahamas. The others were 185-190 in the Caribbean or the Gulf
 
We now have Major Hurricane Lee! Max winds 130MPH.

probably still goes ots but emergency management personnel from about Connecticut-eastward have reason to be absolutely terrified; 12 foot surge going up providence bay is a real thing on the table

NHC did put this at the end of the discussion

There is uncertainty in any northward turn of Lee beginning early
next week, but it is too soon to speculate about specific potential
impacts a week or more out.

I think it turning north is a given based on modeling right now. The big question is how long will Margot block it from being able to turn east any. The EURO has it blocking off until it’s too late and we see go very close to Cape Cod and then up into Maine.
