It supposed to turn and miss US apparently 

Somehow most news stations fail to mention anything but the 5 day forcast which shows it headed right at the US.  Shocking that they might put the worst face on something just to sell some viewers huh?

 

But in Ventusky I trust.  I think you sent me a link to it last year LD.

Ventusky is very good and in Brad I trust as well!

The GFS has it shooting the gap between Bermuda and the mainland US, which is the best scenario imo.  A couple of the models have it getting scarily close to the east coast before it whips out to sea.  I hope it doesn't threaten land until sufficiently weak, because that storm could be a real monster.  A landfalling category 4 in the Carolinas would be catastrophic.

Cat 4 landfalling anywhere would be catastrophic. Hopefully the US doesn't see any hurricanes that strong anytime soon.

Lee also became one of the fastest-intensifying Atlantic hurricanes on record, its peak winds increasing from 80 to 165 mph in a day. This rate of strengthening was the most extreme on record for any Atlantic storm east of the Caribbean, according to Kieran Bhatia, a meteorologist for the reinsurance brokerage Guy Carpenter. Only a few storms in the Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico have intensified more quickly.

Local weatherman: "Welcome to today's forecast and a look at Hurricane Lee, sponsored by Kroger Foods. Looks like we may have some of the outer bands of Lee effecting parts of the state. Get out now and stock up on water and other essentials for a couple days. And, remember, Kroger has everything you need..."

sounds a bit disingenuous at this point

I think Ophelia has took some people by surprise. On the weather this morning they were saying it wouldn't quite get tropical storm strength. On the weather a few minutes ago they were saying it might hit cat 1 strength before it hits land now. It got strong quick today.

National Hurricane Center's 5:00 update has it at 70 MPH max sustained winds.  It could easily reach hurricane strength before landfall.  Some parts of southeast NC will probably get hurricane force winds.
