"Hurricane Lee intensifies, posing threats to U.S. East Coast and New England"
Hurricane Lee has restrengthened into a Category 3 storm as it moves west-northwest in the tropical Atlantic Ocean, posing a threat to the U.S. East Coast with dangerous surf and rip currents. The storm is expected to pass north of Puerto Rico and other Caribbean islands, but swells from Lee are likely to cause life-threatening conditions in various areas. Dangerous surf and rip currents have already reached parts of the U.S. southeast coast and could worsen in the coming days.
