Tropical Storm Lee to become major hurricane
FOX 13 Meteorologist Jim Weber is keeping a close eye on Tropical Storm Lee, which is expected to strengthen into a major hurricane. The peak of hurricane season is four days away and he is seeing an uptick in tropical activity. In addition to Lee, Weber is watching Invest 96 working its way off the coast of Africa, and he is also monitoring the remnants of Hurricane Franklin, which may try to re-establish itself. Weber expects Tropical Storm Lee to reach hurricane strength soon and strengthen as it moves over warm water in the Atlantic. While Weber does not expect Lee to hit Florida because the computer models show it turning northward before reaching the Sunshine State, he says we could feel some of the effects depending on when it makes that turn.
