After spinning across the Atlantic for more than a week, Hurricane Lee is producing tropical storm conditions in Bermuda and hazardous beach conditions along the East Coast of the United States. Lee’s forecast path is becoming much clearer, and weather conditions will deteriorate in the Northeast United States and Canada today.

In anticipation of the storm, tropical storm warnings were issued Thursday morning for Cape Cod, Martha’s Vineyard and Nantucket in Massachusetts. Hurricane and tropical storm watches have also been issued for most of coastal New England and parts of Canada.

Tropical storm conditions generated by Lee were reported on Bermuda on Thursday and were forecast to continue through Friday, according to the National Hurricane Center. The storm’s center was expected to pass west of the island.

After the storm passes Bermuda, it is looking more likely that it will turn toward the Gulf of Maine and probably make landfall between Maine and Nova Scotia.

Because the storm is so large, hazards like heavy rain, wind and flooding are expected to be felt far from the center, regardless of where landfall occurs. Impacts are expected in New England and Atlantic Canada as soon as Friday.

It has been nearly two weeks since speculation about the storm’s impact on the East Coast began. On Thursday, the eventual outcome was becoming more apparent.
