"Hurricane Lee Threatens East Coast with Dangerous Rip Currents and Coastal Erosion"
Hurricane Lee is expected to stay offshore and not directly impact Maryland, but it will bring rough and dangerous surf to the state's beaches. The storm is regaining strength and will generate large swells, waves, and dangerous rip currents. While the wind intensity will weaken, the wind field will expand, potentially affecting areas several hundred miles from the storm's center. Swimming is not advised, and it is recommended to visit beaches with lifeguards on duty. Eastern New England and Canada may experience direct impacts from Lee later in the week or next weekend.
