"National Grid Issues Hurricane Alert as Hurricane Lee Approaches New England and Canada"

Hurricane Lee is expected to impact the Northeast U.S. and Canada, with tropical storm warnings in effect for parts of Canada and coastal New England. The storm is forecasted to make landfall along the Maine or Nova Scotia shorelines this weekend. Due to its large size, heavy rain, wind, and flooding may be felt far from the center. Government leaders have issued alerts and warnings, but the outcome will depend on various conditions. Lee is currently a Category 1 storm with maximum sustained winds of 85 mph, and it is expected to weaken but remain a large and dangerous cyclone as it approaches New England and Atlantic Canada.
