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.
