This is the ensemble model forecast for Hurricane #Lee through next weekend (9/17). Lee is expected turn to the north-northwest next week. Model guidance is in good agreement about this turn, but concerns remain around how far west #HurricaneLee gets before heading north.
I like the trend here for USA, but too early to say for sure and put up tighter goal posts. #lee - Jim Cantore

As the sun rises over the Atlantic this morning, @NOAA's #GOESEast 🛰️ is continuing to monitor #HurricaneLee, churning northeast of Puerto Rico. #Lee is currently a major Category 3 storm and will produce hazardous surf and rip currents along beaches from the Virgin Islands to the southeastern U.S. today.

1/2 #HurricaneLee is undergoing a 3rd eyewall replacement cycle this morning. The CIMSS M-PERC algorithm is designed to predict the onset of these events to aid forecasters. The lead time for the 1st event was 24 hours, 12 hours for the second and the 3rd is still evolving.

As it moved across the Atlantic Ocean, #HurricaneLee fluctuated dramatically in strength, as it underwent one of the most extreme periods of rapid intensification for a North Atlantic storm in the past 40 years. @NOAA’s GEOS-16 satellite captured this image on Sept. 12.

Thanks to a collaborative mission between @NOAA & @Saildrone, we're collecting real-time marine data near #HurricaneLee. Recent obs at 12:48 AST showed wave heights of 26 ft ~29.41N, 66.68W. Mariners are encouraged to exercise caution, avoiding the area around Lee's path.

Our stormchaser friends at @NOAA have flown into the eye of the storm to study #HurricaneLee & they’ve deployed dropsondes, a technology developed at NCAR! @ncareol breaks down exactly why dropsondes get cute lil parachutes 😆 to transmit data about 🌀: eol.ucar.edu/content/what-dr…

Our planet's weather is always changing, and this #FullDiskFriday is no exception.

Today, @NOAA's #GOESEast 🛰️ is closely monitoring an active Atlantic, with #HurricaneLee, Tropical Storm #Margot, and a newly-formed depression to the south slowly strengthening.

What other phenomena can you spy on our dynamic world today?
