Disruptive coastal storm to bring tropical storm conditions from the Carolinas to mid-Atlantic
It may or may not garner a name, but the coastal storm developing off the southeast U.S. today (now designated Invest 99L by the National Hurricane Center) will bring tropical storm conditions to a wide stretch of shoreline from Myrtle Beach northward through the Outer Banks and into the Virginia Tidewater starting tomorrow into Saturday.
Coastal storm shaping up to end the week
A coastal low forecast to develop north of the Bahamas by Thursday into Friday may try to take on some tropical characteristics as it brings gusty winds, rough seas and the possibility of coastal flooding from northeast Florida through the Carolinas by the weekend.

Watching new Atlantic disturbance and southeast US waters this week
As we frequently discuss in this newsletter, hurricane season activity is misaligned with the calendar. While the calendar says we’re halfway through the 6-month hurricane season on September 1st, history tells us we still have another 70% of storm activity left at the start of September.
Lee bound for Maine and southeastern Canada this weekend
Hurricane Lee – the storm which grew from a tropical wave we first mentioned in this newsletter back on August 31st before it had even emerged off Africa or garnered a yellow circle from NHC – will this weekend end its over 5,000-mile Atlantic journey spanning over 10 days.
Large Lee leaves New England on edge, tropical storm warnings issued for Bermuda
It’s not every day a hurricane comes close enough to New England to cause direct impacts, but those that have – notorious names like Bob (1991) and Gloria (1985) or Carol (1954) and Edna (1954) – still live on in New England lore.
Lee scours out a new eye, may bring a close brush to Bermuda and New England
While Hurricane Lee didn’t strengthen on Monday, it still managed to up the ante – doubling in size by one measure while maintaining its peak winds. All else equal, the developments increase the hurricane’s destructive potential and ability to generate long-period waves and dangerous marine conditions that will affect the entire Eastern Seaboard this week.
Hurricane Lee mounts a comeback, Bermuda on alert this week
It’s been a soap opera for Hurricane Lee. After rapidly strengthening to a Category 5 Thursday night at an historic pace – a blistering 85 mph increase in maximum winds in 24 hours (tied for the third fastest-strengthening Atlantic hurricane) – Lee hit a wall over the weekend, rapidly weakening back down to a Category 2 by Saturday evening.
