Hurricane Lee could arrive in Canada as weak hurricane or strong tropical storm
BY The Canadian Press, Sep 13, 2023 6:16 PM - REPORT AN ERROR
Hurricane Lee could arrive in Canada as weak hurricane or strong tropical storm
The Canadian Hurricane Centre says hurricane Lee could
make landfall this weekend anywhere from Maine to southeastern Nova
Scotia.
The centre in Halifax says Lee will likely approach the Atlantic
region as a weak hurricane or strong tropical storm that could dump
heavy rain over the area during the latter part of the week.
Environment Canada meteorologists say that as the hurricane moves
north, it will grow in size but is not expected to gain strength by
merging with other weather systems.
As of this morning, the Category 3 hurricane was about 900
kilometres south of Bermuda, churning out winds at 185 kilometres
per hour.
Lee was forecast to make a turn to the north on Wednesday, which
will likely slow its progress and weaken the storm as it lingers
over cooler waters.
Meanwhile, meteorologists with U.S.-based AccuWeather say they
expect a ``high risk to lives and property'' from damaging winds and
flooding across much of Nova Scotia.
