ORLANDO, Fla. — Hurricane Larry became a Category 3 storm overnight and continues to gain strength as it moves west-northwest in the Atlantic.
The 12th named storm of the year is 1,055 miles east of the Leeward Islands with 125 mph maximum winds and is cruising through the mid-Atlantic at 15 mph, the NHC said in its 11 a.m. update.
No coastal watches or warnings have been issued at this time, but the NHC warns the Lesser Antilles could experience large swells and rip current conditions on Sunday and the East Coast of the U.S. including Florida could feel Larry’s swells after Labor Day.
