Steady weakening is forecast the next couple of days.

Key messages for Lee can be found in the Tropical Cyclone Discussion
under AWIPS header MIATCDAT3 and WMO header WTNT43 KNHC and on the
web at hurricanes.gov/text/MIATCDAT3.shtml
 
WIND: Tropical storm conditions are occurring along portions of the
coasts of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia and will spread northward
within the Tropical Storm Warning areas overnight.  The strong
winds are leading to downed trees and power outages.
 
SURF:  Swells generated by Lee are affecting Puerto Rico,
Hispaniola, the Turks and Caicos Islands, the Bahamas, Bermuda, the
east coast of the United States, and Atlantic Canada.  These swells
are likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip current
conditions.  Please consult products from your local weather office.
 
RAINFALL:  Lee is expected to produce an additional 1 inch or less,
or 25 millimeters or less, from portions of eastern Maine into parts
of New Brunswick and far western Nova Scotia. This may produce
localized urban and small stream flooding.
 
STORM SURGE: A dangerous storm surge will produce coastal flooding
within the wind warning areas in Atlantic Canada in areas of
onshore winds. Near the coast, the surge will be accompanied by
large and destructive waves.
