Some storms could contain strong gusty winds and small hail.

The Tropics: Hurricane Lee will continue to rapidly intensify and is expected to be a powerful category 5 by the weekend. With maximum winds now over 130 mph, the storm continues barreling westward at 15mph. This same general speed and motion is expected through the week with high swells becoming an issue near the Lesser Antilles. It is expected to start to curve north in the next 5 days so threat to Gulf of Mexico is extremely low. People in Bermuda and along the east coast need to continue to monitor this system.
