Over 98,000 utility customers in Maine are currently without power, according to Poweroutage.us., as post-tropical cyclone Lee made landfall in Nova Scotia in eastern Canada.

Lee made landfall on Long Island in Digby County, Nova Scotia at around 4 p.m. Saturday with maximum sustained winds of 70 mph, according to the National Hurricane Center.

The storm will then move across eastern Canada Saturday night and Sunday.

“Lee is expected to be at or just below hurricane strength when it reaches Nova Scotia later today," the National Hurricane Center said in an update. "Weakening is forecast tonight and Sunday while Lee moves across Atlantic Canada."

Formerly a hurricane, Lee became a post-tropical cyclone Saturday because it no longer possesses the characteristics to be considered tropical. The new designation is not a downgrade in impacts as Lee is still producing hurricane-force winds at 75 mph and may bring hurricane conditions to Eastern Canada when it makes landfall Saturday.
