Lee Makes Landfall In United States

BAR HARBOR, Maine (AP) — Atlantic storm Lee made landfall at near-hurricane strength, bringing destructive winds, rough surf and torrential rains to New England and Maritime Canada. But officials have withdrawn some warnings for the region and predicted the storm would dissipate on Tuesday. The U.S. National Hurricane Center reported early Sunday that the post-tropical cyclone was about 35 miles west of Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, and about 225 miles west of Channel-Port Aux Basques, Newfoundland. The center has discontinued a tropical storm warning for the coast of Maine and reports the Canadian Hurricane Centre has ended its tropical storm warning for New Brunswick and parts of Prince Edward Island. The storm is expected to move northeast, taking the weather system across the Canadian Maritimes.
