Hurricane Lee is charging through warm Atlantic waters and threatening to unleash heavy swells across the northeast Caribbean. It became the season’s first Category 5 storm before beginning to weaken Friday. The hurricane is not expected to make landfall. Lee was centered about 440 miles east of the northern Leeward Islands late Friday. It had maximum sustained winds of up to 115 miles per hour and was moving west-northwest at 13 mph. Meteorologists said dangerous surf and deadly rip currents would likely hit the northern Leeward Islands later Friday. They would spread to Puerto Rico, Hispaniola, the Turks and Caicos, the Bahamas and Bermuda over the weekend.
