The hurricane is expected to make landfall as a tropical storm anywhere between western Maine to Cape Breton this weekend
Officials from Atlantic Canada are warning residents to prepare for an active hurricane season this year as Hurricane Lee whirls up the coast and is expected to lash parts of the Maritimes this weekend with strong winds and heavy rain.
“Don’t let your guard down just because it’s no longer a hurricane,” he cautioned. “All of the energy of the hurricane is still present, and as it goes post-tropical, those wind-fields actually get larger than a compact hurricane. In some ways, more people could be affected.” Paul Mason, executive director of the Emergency Management Office, said in an interview that if the province needs to put out an emergency alert, it’s ready.
The U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has projected the 2023 hurricane season to be above normal. Record warm temperatures and the slow arrival of the calming effects of El Nino are contributing factors, the agency said.
