CBC Meteorologist Ryan Snoddon says while some uncertainty remains, forecast models are slowly becoming more precise in terms of the potential impacts of rain, wind and surf.
Hurricane Lee is set to make landfall in the Maritimes on Saturday.
The projected track has shifted over the past few days. However, the latest forecast model runs have narrowed in on the potential for the storm to move into the Gulf of Maine before making landfall somewhere in the southwestern Maritimes.Meteorologist Ryan Snoddon says Hurricane Lee will likely be a Category 1 storm by the time it reaches Canadian waters.
Lee is already a large storm, however that post-tropical transition means that gusty winds will spread across a large area far from the centre of the storm. Wind gusts in the 60 to 90 km/h range are below warning criteria but will bring the risk of widespread power outages with the trees still in full foliage.
