The 2023 hurricane season is getting faster and stronger.

The Associated Press is reporting that Hurricane Lee grew quickly from a tropical storm, suggesting that increases in ocean temperatures could lead to quicker-forming storms with a wider range.

“Hurricanes are getting stronger at higher altitudes,” said atmospheric scientist Marshall Shepherd, which could “bring into play places like Washington, D.C., New York and Boston.”

Lee hasn’t hit the Atlantic shore yet; as of Sunday it was rampaging through the northeast Caribbean.
