Hurricane Lee is expected to lash parts of the Maritimes with strong winds and heavy rain this weekend.
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.Canadian Hurricane Centre meteorologist Ian Hubbard said the storm is expected make landfall on Saturday or Sunday, anywhere from western Maine to Cape Breton. He said it was too early to offer specific predictions about wind speeds.
Hubbard said the storm is expected to be considerably weaker that post-tropical storm Fiona, which roared across Atlantic Canada almost a year ago, causing widespread damage and killing two people. “They both left in their wake an area of cooler water that wasn’t there beforehand,” Hubbard said from the hurricane centre in Halifax. “That does reduce the fuel supply for these hurricanes, as they like to feed on that warm water.”Article content
