TL;DR

Hurricane Lee, a powerful Category 3 storm, is expected to move north of Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands but could still cause dangerous beach conditions on the U.S. East Coast starting Sunday. The storm, currently located northeast of the northern Leeward Islands, has winds of 115 mph and may undergo gradual restrengthening. It is uncertain what impacts Lee might have along the U.S. East Coast, Atlantic Canada, or Bermuda next week, but dangerous surf and rip currents are expected. Lee had previously intensified into a Category 5 storm before downgrading.
