Hurricane Lee's Path: Caribbean Swells and Potential Impact on Bermuda

Large swells are battering the north-east Caribbean as Hurricane Lee, a category 3 storm, churns through open waters. Lee, which is not expected to make landfall, has winds of up to 115mph and is moving west and north-west. The storm's path is forecasted to pass well north of the north-east Caribbean, providing relief to areas still recovering from hurricanes Irma and Maria. While tropical storm conditions are not expected for any Caribbean island, Puerto Rico and nearby territories are warned of breaking waves up to 15ft. The US east coast is also expected to experience dangerous surf and rip currents, but the hurricane's impact beyond that remains uncertain.
