THE TROPICS: Lee is a category 3 hurricane as it tracks north of the Caribbean Islands. Lee continues to track slowly, but will make a turn to the north mid-week. Then, the storm will begin to accelerate and bring rough surf along the east coast. Lee may eventually make landfall either in eastern Maine or Nova Scotia by this weekend. Margot has now also become a hurricane but will stay out in the central Atlantic. There is another tropical wave near the coast of Africa with a high chance for development.
