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.
