Forecasters tracking Hurricane Lee can't rule out direct impacts on the East Coast, although most computer guidance models show the storm curving away from the U.S.
say Lee has the potential to reach Category 5 status, with maximum sustained winds reaching 156 mph or higher.
Many forecasters anticipate an eventual northward turn — with Lee possibly moving towards Bermuda or the eastern U.S. next week. Forecasters say Hurricane Lee will likely strengthen into a Category 2 hurricane on Thursday, Sept. 7, a major Category 3 storm on Friday, Sept. 8, and a stronger Category 4 hurricane this weekend -- possibly reaching Category 5 status.
