The tropics are still busy, with Hurricane Maria and now Hurricane Lee in the Atlantic. At 5 am Sunday, Maria was located near 27.9 North, 72.7 West, and was moving west at 9 miles per hour. Maximum sustained winds were 110 miles per hour. While Florida will get swells and rough surf from Maria, we’re watching its potential effects on the mid-Atlantic coast during the next few days. And Lee has intensified into a hurricane with maximum sustained winds of 85 miles per hour. At 5 am Sunday, Lee was located near 31.8 North, 50.1 West, and was inching south at 1 mile per hour. Lee is forecast to remain in the central Atlantic.
