Hurricane Lee’s winds are currently whipping at 150 miles per hour — just below the 157 mph threshold for a Category 5 storm.
Hurricane Lee weakened slightly to a still-major Category 4 storm on Friday while the East Coast sits on edge as its trajectory and potential impacts remain uncertain.
“It’s still a powerful major hurricane, and it’s expected to take the same approximate level of strength for the next five days,” Fox News meteorologist Stephanie van Oppen told The Post Friday night. “Right now it’s too early to say what could potentially happen to New York or Boston, but it looks very unlikely that a direct impact is going to occur,” van Oppen added.
