Hurricane Lee Transforms into Post-Tropical Cyclone, Threatens Eastern Canada and New England Coast

Post-tropical cyclone Lee is expected to make landfall in Nova Scotia, eastern Canada, on Saturday. Although it is no longer considered a hurricane, Lee is still producing hurricane-force winds and may bring hurricane conditions to the region. The storm has already caused heavy rains, strong winds, and coastal flooding in parts of New England and Canada. Dangerous storm surge and large destructive waves are expected along the coast of Atlantic Canada. A hurricane watch is in effect for parts of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, while a tropical storm warning covers Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, and northern New Brunswick.

"Tracking Hurricane Lee's Path and Warning of Dangerous Rip Currents"

Hurricane Lee, currently a Category 3 storm, is expected to shift northwards and avoid hitting New Jersey and New York. However, there is a low probability outlier model that shows Lee making landfall in New Jersey or New York. Most models project Lee to eventually make landfall in the Maritime provinces of eastern Canada. The storm is expected to bring dangerous surf and rip currents to the southeastern U.S. coast and the New Jersey shore later in the week. The exact path of Lee will depend on the arrival and strength of an upper level disturbance known as a trough.

Canadian Wildfire Smoke Spreading Across North America

Smoke from Canadian wildfires is causing unhealthy air quality in parts of the Northern Plains and Midwest in the US, with air quality alerts in effect for eastern Iowa. Smoke suspended at higher altitudes is widespread from Quebec and Ontario through the Midwest and Great Lakes to the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast coasts. The smoke is being circulated by a slow-moving low-pressure system spinning between the Great Lakes and the Canadian Maritimes. A high-pressure "heat dome" building in over eastern Canada next week is expected to increase the fire threat there and could lead to more smoke pollution in the US.
