Hurricane Lee whirled north of Puerto Rico on Tuesday as a Category 3 storm, with forecasters noting it would remain in open waters through this week while on a path to Atlantic Canada.
The storm was located 925 kilometres south of Bermuda. It had winds of up to 185 kph and was moving west-northwest at 11 kph.
By Sunday, Lee was forecast to weaken into a tropical storm and likely make landfall in Nova Scotia, Canada, according to AccuWeather.
“A significant storm surge will occur along with the strongest winds and risk of property damage,” AccuWeather said in a statement.
Winds and flooding also are expected to affect Rhode Island, eastern Massachusetts, southeastern New Hampshire and central and coastal Maine, forecasters said.
Hurricane Lee was expected to start turning northward on Tuesday afternoon on a path that would take it just west of Bermuda late Thursday, with the National Hurricane Center warning the island could experience tropical storm conditions.
Lee is expected to weaken in upcoming days as it enters cooler waters.
