Lee Dissipates over Maritime Canada, Warnings Cancelled

Atlantic storm Lee, which made landfall in New England and Maritime Canada, is expected to dissipate early this week as it weakens. Warnings have been canceled, and power outages have decreased in both the United States and Canada. The storm caused one fatality in Maine and flooded coastal roads in Nova Scotia, leading to the cancellation of flights at Halifax Stanfield International Airport. The region, already affected by wildfires and severe flooding, experienced hurricane-force winds and heavy rainfall. Despite similarities to Superstorm Sandy, Lee was not as severe and did not cause significant damage or fatalities. Meanwhile, Tropical Storm Nigel is strengthening but poses no threats to the U.S. or Canada.
