A broader wind field, if that continued, could mean more impacts later to a wider area, whether it makes landfall or is simply close enough to the coast.
The NHC starts off the public advisory with this:
"Lee expected to grow in size over the next few days"
While the waters ahead are cooler later on, and won't support intensities like we've seen, the storm's growing wind field could be the issue.
I was looking at sea surface temperatures here:

You have to add them to the map, I couldn't find a way to link it.
Fahrenheit units would also be nice. 26.7C is 80F. I was looking to see the water temperatures up to the north and where they get out of the 80s. I'm wondering most about the size of the storm rather than a maximum wind speed. Surge, as is often the case, could be the biggest issue.
Lee's current wind field:
34 KT.......160NE 160SE 80SW 110NW.
39mph wind field in each quadrant, given in nautical miles. (multiply by 1.15 for miles)
This is the forecast wind field in 3 days:
34 KT...170NE 160SE 140SW 150NW.
An expansion of the wind field forecast to the west.
We'll see how that changes over time beyond that time. The NHC doesn't give 4 and 5 day forecasts for the wind field. |
