As of early Tuesday afternoon, Lee was packing 115 mph winds and moving west-northwest at a virtual crawl of just 6 mph.

The good news is that the storm will likely show"significant weakening" by this weekend as it crosses over cooler waters north of the Gulf Stream. But even as the Hurricane Center noted that welcome development, it cautioned,"the expanding wind field of Lee will produce impacts well away from the storm center."With such a massive storm, Lee's eyewall doesn't have to make landfall — or come within 100 miles of the shore — to make an impact on land.
Even in areas that remain far from the storm's core, the NHC said"since wind and rainfall hazards will extend well away from the center as Lee grows in size, users should continue to monitor updates to Lee's forecast during the next several days."Lee's forecast track sees the storm staying west of Bermuda. But its huge wind field is still expected to affect the island.
