Storm surges were expected to subside on Sunday after being forecast as up to 3 feet (0.91 meters) on Saturday along coastal areas, the hurricane center said.
Atlantic storm Lee - which made landfall at near-hurricane strength, bringing destructive winds and torrential rains to New England and Maritime Canada - kept weakening Sunday after officials withdrew some warnings and predicted the storm would disappear early this week.
The center discontinued a tropical storm warning for the coast of Maine late Saturday and reported the Canadian Hurricane Centre had ended its tropical storm warning for New Brunswick and parts of Prince Edward Island. A tropical storm warning remained in effect for parts of Nova Scotia, the Magdalen Islands and Prince Edward Island with strong winds possibly leading to downed trees and power outages, the center said.
Hurricane-force winds extended as far as 140 miles from Lee's center, with tropical storm-force winds extending as far as 320 miles , enough to cover all of Maine and much of Maritime Canada.
