SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (AP) — Hurricane Lee charged through warm Atlantic waters Friday night and threatened to unleash heavy swells across the northeast Caribbean. It became the season’s first Category 5 storm before beginning to weaken.Down to a Category 3 hurricane by late Friday, it was not expected to make landfall, but meteorologists warned it would generate dangerous waves of up to 15 feet (5 meters) across the northern coast of Puerto Rico and other nearby islands. Lee was on a path that would take it a couple hundred miles (kilometers) northeast of the Caribbean, and tropical storm conditions were not forecast for the region.“Although the hurricane is incredibly powerful, its wind field is not particularly large,” the National Hurricane Center said.The hurricane was centered about 440 miles (705 kilometers) east of the northern Leeward Islands late Friday.
