Post-Tropical Cyclone Lee Whips Eastern Canada and New England with Hurricane-Force Winds

Gusty winds and high surf from the post-tropical cyclone formerly known as Hurricane Lee continue to affect the Massachusetts coast as the storm makes landfall in Canada. Lee made landfall in far western Nova Scotia with maximum sustained winds of about 70 mph. Although it no longer has tropical characteristics, the storm still brings strong winds, potentially causing power outages and downed trees along the Massachusetts coast. Rainfall of 1-4 inches and storm surge of 1-3 feet are expected in eastern Massachusetts, while inland areas are not expected to be heavily impacted. Sunny and mild conditions are forecasted for Sunday before rain returns on Monday.
