DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 1100 PM AST (0300 UTC), the center of Hurricane Lee was located 
near latitude 21.0 North, longitude 59.9 West. Lee is moving toward 
the west-northwest near 9 mph (15 km/h). A slower west-northwestward 
motion is expected during the next few days. On the forecast track, 
Lee is expected to pass well north of the northern Leeward Islands, 
the Virgin Islands, and Puerto Rico into early next week.
 
Maximum sustained winds are near 105 mph (165 km/h) with higher 
gusts. Restrengthening is anticipated over the next day or two.
 
Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 35 miles (55 km) from the 
center and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 185 miles 
(295 km). NOAA buoy 40144 located about 90 miles east-northeast of 
the center of Lee reported a peak sustained wind of 52 mph (83 
km/h) with a gust to 60 mph (98 km/h) within the past couple of

HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND

Key messages for Lee can be found in the Tropical Cyclone Discussion
under AWIPS header MIATCDAT3 and WMO header WTNT43 KNHC and on the
web at hurricanes.gov/text/MIATCDAT3.shtml
 
SURF:  Swells generated by Lee are affecting portions of the Lesser
Antilles, and are spreading westward to the British and U.S. Virgin
Islands, Puerto Rico, Hispaniola, the Turks and Caicos Islands, the
Bahamas, and Bermuda over the remainder of this weekend. These
swells are likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip current
conditions. Dangerous surf and rip currents are expected to begin
along most of the U.S. East Coast tomorrow and worsen through next
week. Please consult products from your local weather office.
