Lee not nearly as strong as Fiona, but a ‘big, big storm’

Prince Edward Island will start feeling the impact of Hurricane Lee overnight Friday, and the winds will not subside until Sunday.

The current track of Lee has it downgraded to a post-tropical storm by the time it makes landfall in Yarmouth, Nova Scotia on Saturday afternoon. From there it will move across the Bay of Fundy and over western P.E.I., moving north of Ile de la Madeleines by Sunday afternoon.

Northumberland Ferries announced Friday morning that all crossings between Nova Scotia and P.E.I. for Saturday are cancelled.

Because the storm is so big, Islanders will be feeling its impact all weekend.

“The mass of this storm is huge. It’s a big, big storm,” said CBC meteorologist Tina Simpkin.
