I think One thing that Is Likely being over estimated is Lee’s winds when it tracks @ our latitude . It’s going to be a very mature hurricane early next week , and it’s going to go thru multiple ERC’s and expand into quite a large storm by mid next week . It’s pressure can be 960’s to 970’s and be a borderline Cat 1 cane after it travels (not super fast) but at moderate speed just past Bermuda’s latitude The Ocean fuel near Bermuda supportive of a strong cane has been upwelled by Franklin and Idalia. It may begin to revover a bit over the next 3 days but soon it will be upwelled again . One example is tropical storm Earl had 965 pressure as it passed a bit East of our latitude (70mph) winds . Unless of course models can speed up Lee’s forward speed between Bermuda General area And our latitude (also if it goes west of current track )
While it’s North of Puerto Rico this will peak probably Sunday’ish near a cat 5, and by Tuesday while sw of Bermuda NHC has this down to 130 as a slow moving large Cat 3. There are several examples of N Atlantic very large mature tropical systems of lower pressure (965-970 mb) but that are now large storms with max winds 60-70 knots . I think there is a good chance Lee could be one at 41N latitude
The Surf is going to be massive , and the only way I see that not occurring to that degree if the future M storm tracks closer on models and opens up an escape by eroding Atlantic ridge faster (this is not currently modeled to do that nearly enough to cause an earlIer recurve (Over or SE of Bermuda ) that would minimize swell for NE
