"East Coast Braces for Impact as Hurricane Lee Approaches"

Category 3 Hurricane Lee, currently located east of the Caribbean, is expected to bring dangerous coastal conditions, including rip currents and large waves, to parts of the US East Coast as early as Sunday. While it is uncertain whether Lee will directly impact the US mainland, forecasters warn of dangerous surf and rip currents along the East Coast starting Sunday and worsening throughout the week. Lee, which rapidly intensified to Category 5 strength, is expected to remain a dangerous hurricane for at least the next five days. The storm's trajectory will depend on various factors, including the strength of the Bermuda High and the position of the jet stream.
