when is hurricane lee supposed to hit new york

Hurricane Lee is not currently expected to make direct landfall in New York. It is forecast to stay offshore of New York City as it moves north along the East Coast. The National Hurricane Center and New York officials indicate that while the storm is strengthening and moving northward, it will likely bring coastal impacts such as dangerous high surf, rip currents, coastal flooding, and beach erosion to parts of New York's coast later this week rather than a direct hit. The storm is expected to be near Bermuda and moving north by around September 10-15, but the exact timing of any close approach to New York is uncertain, and the hurricane is expected to weaken as it moves into cooler waters. There was mention of landfall related to this storm only further north in eastern Canada around September 16-18, after it transitions to an extratropical cyclone. In summary, Hurricane Lee is predicted to impact New York mainly through coastal effects this week, but a direct landfall in New York is not forecast at this time.
