Whatever does (or doesn't) happen with Lee over the next week, it has been absolutely fascinating to watch so far. The very quick intensification, the shear ripping it apart (but it still keeping the essentials through that, likely due to it being such a powerful storm before it ran into the shear) and it rebuilding again... Just very interesting.
I also think it will be interesting to see how the data the recon flights have picked up (especially recently in regards to dry air?) will be interesting in helping future modeling, too.
It's also kind of nerve-wracking to watch a storm like this move so freaking slow, and I'm not even in an area that could be affected. I feel for folks along the eastern seaboard (and the Caribbean) who have had to deal with the uncertainty of this thing for so long. I'm particularly glad it's left the lesser Antilles alone and will very likely leave the rest of the islands alone, too (Bermuda, on the other hand, will be keeping an eye on Lee just like the seaboard).
Anyway. It's just been a really interesting storm to watch. I'm personally really looking forward to sea temperature data in Lee's wake since it has been so slow-moving. I'm hoping it's doing us a favor and pulling a fair bit of the "rocket fuel" out of the Atlantic. I hope whatever does happen in Lee's future involves only minimal human impact.
