HALIFAX — Hurricane Lee is expected to lash parts of the Maritimes with strong winds and heavy rain this weekend, but the Canadian Hurricane Centre says much of its strength will be sapped by cooler sea-surface temperatures as it moves north.
By early Tuesday afternoon, the Category 3 hurricane was about 900 kilometres south of Bermuda, churning out winds at 185 kilometres per hour. The slow-moving storm was forecast to make a turn to the north on Wednesday and then accelerate towards Canada.
"There will be quite a diminishing of wind before it comes anywhere close to land. That's a good thing." He said the strength of its winds will drop as it crosses over parts of the Atlantic that were churned-up by hurricane Franklin and hurricane Idalia in recent weeks.
