Hurricane Lee becomes Category 2 storm

FOX 13 Meteorologist Jim Weber is watching two area in the tropics- Hurricane Lee and Tropical Depression 14, which is expected to stay over open water. He says Lee is rapidly intensifying and reached Category 2 strength on Thursday morning. He says warm water in the Atlantic and low wind shear provide a conducive environment for intensification. According to Weber, Hurricane Lee will likely become a Category 5 storm by the end of the week. Weber says Hurricane Lee will take a turn to the north and stay off the east coast.
