Hurricane Lee Threatens with Downpours and Flooding

Southern New England can expect the potential for flooding due to heavy rain on Monday and Wednesday, with a break in the action on Tuesday. The impact of Hurricane Lee on New England is uncertain, but it is likely to weaken as it moves past the latitude of the Carolinas. Even in the worst-case scenario, it would be a strong tropical storm or minimal hurricane, causing rain, flooding, and some wind damage. The storm may stay offshore, resulting in only clouds or rough seas. Forecasters are closely monitoring the track of Hurricane Lee to determine the most likely outcome.
