Hurricane Lee was downgraded early Saturday to a Category 3 storm with maximum sustained winds near 115 mph. But the National Hurricane Center said Lee is expected to remain a "powerful hurricane" over the next few days as its impacts are expected to be felt across the Caribbean.

Lee is forecast to move well north of the Leeward Islands, the Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico beginning this weekend and into early next week.
