The timing and the track of Hurricane Lee is getting
clearer as it approaches the coast of Atlantic Canada.
We now have this in play,
a hurricane watch for Digby County,
Yarmouth County Grand Manan, Halifax.
That is a tropical storm watch for you.
Yesterday we had Hurricane Lee sitting at Category 3 status.
It has downgraded to a category 2 as of Thursday
morning,
brushing West of Bermuda Today through tomorrow.
It will lose its intensity and be downgraded to a
category one and eventually move into our Canadian.
Waters yesterday we were talking about a Friday evening into
Saturday morning landfall.
It's now looking like Saturday afternoon through Sunday morning we
could see making landfall as a strong tropical storm or
a post tropical storm.
Regardless the rain and the winds are going to pick
up on our Saturday.
This could also coincide through the Bay of Fundy with
our high tide.
Not an ideal condition of course for the potential of
power outages,
the high surf along the shorelines and also the heavy
rain on our already saturated grounds.
Yarmouth seeing up to 100 millimeters of rainfall.
Western shores of Newfoundland also going to be hit with
this with the strong winds and the rain.
Now this is a nice timeline to look at for
Friday,
the rough surf winds picking up,
but it's really not until Saturday when those rain bands
get a lot more intense for Nova Scotia and New
Brunswick.
And through Saturday evening we're going to continue to see
the strong winds.
By Sunday we will see the storm weaken considerably.
