Hurricane Lee’s strongest impacts to be felt Saturday

The Canadian Hurricane Centre says that Hurricane Lee is shaping up to be a Saturday event for the strongest impacts, with lingering weaker conditions then on Sunday. It will be approaching as a category-1 hurricane and then becoming post-tropical at landfall.  While the centre of Lee could make landfall anywhere from Downeast Maine to western Nova Scotia as a strong tropical storm or post-tropical low late Saturday night or early Sunday, it is still expected to be a large and powerful system with impacts extending well away from the storm centre.
