 2023 Hurricane Lee
 September 05, 2023
 Hurricane Lee was a long-lived and extremely powerful Cape Verde hurricane that impacted Bermuda, the Northeastern United States, and Atlantic Canada later in its lifetime. The thirteenth named storm, fourth hurricane, and the third major hurricane of the 2023 Atlantic hurricane season. Highly favorable conditions enabled Lee to rapidly intensify into a Category 5 hurricane on September 7. On September 13, the system rounded the southwest side of a large ridge of high pressure over the central Atlantic, turned, and accelerated northward. Lee soon entered into an environment of increasing wind shear and over increasingly cooler water, causing the system to slowly weaken as it was approaching Bermuda and New England, and to undergo the transition into an extratropical cyclone.
