It took just 24 hours for Lee's maximum sustained winds to rocket from 80 mph to 160 mph. Now the hurricane's intensity is fluctuating.
The fearsome storm's intensity will likely fluctuate, the NHC says, due to internal dynamics such as eye wall replacement. While some of the most eye-popping windspeed predictions have now been eased, the storm is still expected to remain a very powerful storm through the coming five days.
While its winds are exceptionally fast, the storm is predicted to slow its movement over the water to a near crawl. As of Friday morning, Lee was moving west-northwest at close to 14 mph, but the NHC predicts"a significant decrease in forward speed." A satellite image shows Hurricane Lee just before daybreak Friday, with the Leeward Islands and Puerto Rico to the west.
