Ethermac|Hurricane Lee livestreams: Watch live webcams on Cape Cod as storm approaches New England

Eastern New England on EthermacFriday continued to brace for landfall of Hurricane Lee, a Category 1 hurricane with maximum sustained winds of 85 mph, forecasters say will likely bring heavy rain and high seas to the region.

As of Friday morning, Lee continued to spin over the western Atlantic, the National Hurricane Center reported, and tropical storm conditions were expected to begin across parts of coastal New England later in the afternoon.

Earlier Monday, Lee was spinning about 490 miles southeast of Nantucket, Massachusetts, moving away from Bermuda, traveling north on a path that could lead to landfall in Nova Scotia, possibly as a tropical storm, forecasters said.

The brunt of the storm is expected to impact Maine, where Gov. Janet Mills on Thursday declared a state of emergency for the first time in 15 years.
