BOSTON (WBZNewsRadio) - As Hurricane Lee barrels northward, we're preparing for a weekend of postponed and cancelled events. A Tropical Storm Warning is now posted for the entire coastline, from Rhode Island, up to Maine.
Lee is now a category 1 as it continues to barrel up the coast. The storm is expected to weaken as it draws near and is projected to make landfall in the Bay of Fundy area Saturday evening. The first bit of rain is likely to fall Friday evening, with the brunt of Lee passing off the coast of the Cape, Saturday morning.
The heaviest rainfall is expected in eastern Massachusetts and Cape Cod. Meantime Boston could see sunshine on Saturday.
