SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico — Large swells battered the northeast Caribbean on Saturday as Hurricane Lee churned nearby through open waters as a Category 3 storm.
Lee was forecast to pass well north of the northeast Caribbean in a big relief to people from the British Virgin Islands to Puerto Rico, which are still recovering from hurricanes Irma and Maria that hit in September 2017. The National Hurricane Center said the seas near the center of the hurricane were expected to peak at 45 feet .
Meanwhile, officials in the French Caribbean island of Guadeloupe warned of up to 3 inches of rain in a span of three hours or less for some areas. Lee is the 12th named storm of the Atlantic hurricane season, which runs from June 1 to Nov. 30 and peaks in September.
