The Tropical Depression in the Atlantic was upgraded to Tropical Storm Lee at 5:00 PM on Tuesday (12th September 2023). According to the Trinidad and Tobago Meteorological Service (TTMS), at 5:00 AM this morning (Wednesday 6th September 2023), the centre of Tropical Storm Lee was located near 13.7N 44.6W or about 2,040 Km ESE of the Northern Leewards Islands.
Lee is moving West-Northwest near 26 Km/h and is expected to continue in this forward motion for the next few days with a slight reduction in forward speed. On this track, it is not expected to directly impact Trinidad and Tobago. Maximum sustained winds have increased to near 100 Km/h with higher gusts. The National Hurricane Center (NHC) in Miami forecast continued steady to rapid strengthening and Lee is expected to become a Hurricane later today and a major Hurricane over the weekend. According to the NHC, “Lee is forecast to become a major hurricane by early Saturday [9th September 2023] and could bring impacts to the Northern Leeward Islands this weekend. While it is too soon to determine the location and magnitude of these possible impacts, interests in this area should monitor the progress of Lee and further updates to the forecast. Swells generated by Lee are expected to reach portions of the Lesser Antilles on Friday. These swells are likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions.” THERE ARE CURRENTLY NO ALERTS, WATCHES OR WARNINGS IN EFFECT FOR TRINIDAD AND TOBAGO. The TTMS said it continues to monitor Lee and will issue an update at 6:00 PM today (Wednesday 6th September 2023) or earlier as significant development progresses. We are a small operation.
